diseasetransmission, etc ; Clostridium difficile; diarrhea; dogs; females; genomics; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... We describe a case of interspecies transmission of toxigenic Clostridioides difficile involving a female and her dog, both with diarrhea without another diagnosis. Genomic analysis showed that isolates were grouped into MLST clade I, closely related to ribotype 020 and shared identical genotypes. ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; Rotavirus; cats; diarrhea; dogs; medicine; pets; Brazil; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Rotaviruses species A (RVA) are etiological agents of diarrhoea and are considered zoonotic viruses; yet the epidemiology of RVA among pet animals is largely unknown. RVA was detected in 38 of 308 faecal samples (12.3%) from pet, sheltered, or stray dogs and cats in 2 municipalities of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. The results indicated that these viruses are common in canine and feline population ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; Ixodes ricinus; biodiversity; community structure; evolution; rodents; ticks; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Disease (re)emergence appears to be driven by biodiversity decline and environmental change. As a result, it is increasingly important to study host–pathogen interactions within the context of their ecology and evolution. The dilution effect is the concept that higher biodiversity decreases pathogen transmission. It has been observed especially in zoonotic vector‐borne pathosystems, yet evidence a ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; COVID-19 infection; case studies; people; poverty; Colombia; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... COVID-19 has forced government and health agencies to take measures to mitigate the spread of the disease and thus safeguard as many lives as possible. These measures have initially impacted the economy of many countries, and therefore they have been forced to gradually return to a new normalcy, in what they have called reopening. For reopening policies to be effective, it is necessary that the pe ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; Strongylocentrotus intermedius; air; aquaculture; aquaculture industry; mortality; mouth; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Mass mortality of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius and consequent economic losses occur in the aquaculture industry due to the outbreak of black mouth disease. Decreasing the physical contact between the healthy and diseased sea urchins is proposed to be an effective approach to preventing the disease transmission. Laboratory experiments were designed to investigate whether different ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; avian influenza; chickens; hemagglutinins; lectins; polysaccharides; research; viruses; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) circulating in wild ducks are rarely transmitted directly to chickens. Previous studies demonstrated that chickens possess fucosylated and/or sulfated α2,3 sialosides on their tracheal epithelia, whereas intestinal epithelia of ducks express canonical α2,3 sialosides. Turkeys, the third major poultry species in the world, are known to show broad susceptibility to var ...

Abstract:
... We examined the risk of withering syndrome (WS) rickettsia-like organism (WS-RLO) infection in sentinel red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) deployed in modules at two Southern California field sites, one adjacent to an abalone farm and one adjacent to wild abalones. WS-RLO DNA was detected in seawater near modules at the wild abalone site but not near the farm (WS-RLO DNA was detected in the farm eff ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; Tobamovirus; disease control; fruits; greenhouses; progeny; testa; tomatoes; virulence; viruses; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), belonging to the genus Tobamovirus, is a highly virulent emerging virus, causing disease outbreaks and significant crop losses worldwide. The growing number of ToBRFV epidemic episodes prompted the investigation of the role of seeds in the dissemination of the virus as an important aspect in the overall disease management. Therefore, the objectives of this ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; bacteriophages; beef extracts; etiological agents; gloves; humans; hygiene; juices; phosphates; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Phi 6 (Φ6) bacteriophage is a proposed surrogate to study pathogenic enveloped viruses including SARS-CoV-2—the causative agent of COVID-19—based on structural similarities, BSL-1 status, and ease of use. To determine the role of virus-contaminated hands in disease transmission, an enhanced understanding of buffer and method performance for Φ6 recovery needs to be determined. Four buffer types and ...
diseasetransmission, etc ; Nycteribiidae; Phyllostomidae; Streblidae; ectoparasites; parasitism; parasitology; research; wet season; Brazil; Show all 10 Subjects
Abstract:
... Bats are parasitized by many different arthropods, among which the dipteran families Nycteribiidae and Streblidae are exclusive to bats. Researches that relate the ecology of ectoparasites with their hosts are fundamental for understanding issues related to the interactions between these two groups, in addition to epidemiological aspects of pathogen transmission. The present study evaluated the ra ...

Abstract:
... In this article, we present 2 case reports of puppies less than 4 mo of age at the time of infection with the nematode known as giant red kidney worm (Diotophyma renale). The first puppy was prepared for an ovariohysterectomy that evolved into an exploratory laparotomy. An inflamed omentum was observed, and D. renale infection was suspected due to the puppies' place of origin. The algorithm develo ...

Abstract:
... Anthropogenic activities, such as outdoor recreation, have the potential to change complex interactions between wildlife and livestock, with further consequences for the management of both animals, the environment, and disease transmission. We present the interaction amongst wildlife, livestock, and outdoor recreationists as a three-way interaction. Little is known about how recreational activitie ...

The objective of this survey was to determine the seroprevalence of Leptospira spp., the most frequent serogroups, and the geospatial distribution in goats in seven states in the Northeast region of Brazil. Samples (n = 4,718) were collected in the states of Alagoas, Ceará, Maranhão, Paraíba, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte and Sergipe and were analyzed using the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) wi ...

This paper focuses on the spread of the disease by applying heatmap retrieval of hotspot areas, and spatial analysis is carried out using the Moran index. For capturing spatial autocorrelation between the provinces of South Africa, the adjacent a ...

Abstract:
... Vortex droplet interaction is crucial for understanding the route of disease transmission through expiratory jet where several such embedded droplets continuously interact with vortical structures of different strengths and sizes. A train of vortex rings with different vortex strength, quantified with vortex Reynolds number (Re′=0,53,221,297) are made to interact with an isolated levitated droplet ...

Abstract:
... Respiratory infectious diseases (e.g., COVID-19) have brought huge damages to human society, and the accurate prediction of their transmission trends is essential for both the health system and policymakers. Most related studies focus on epidemic trend forecasting at the macroscopic level, which ignores the microscopic social interactions among individuals. Meanwhile, current microscopic models ar ...

Abstract:
... To date, Triatoma dimidiata sensu lato [Reduviidae:Triatominae (Latreille 1811)] remains the sole vector species associated with Chagas disease transmission reported from Belize. Human infection data are limited for Belize and the disease transmission dynamics have not been thoroughly investigated, yet the likelihood of autochthonous transmission is supported by the widespread collection of infect ...

Abstract:
... Many countries are suffering from the COVID19 pandemic. The number of confirmed cases, recovered, and deaths are of concern to the countries having a high number of infected patients. Forecasting these parameters is a crucial way to control the spread of the disease and struggle with the pandemic. This study aimed at forecasting the number of cases and deaths in KSA using time-series and well-know ...
... Carriage of Clostridioides difficile by different species of animals has led to speculation that animals could represent a reservoir of this pathogen for human infections. The objective of this study was to compare C. difficile isolates from humans, dogs, and cattle from a restricted geographic area. C. difficile isolates from 36 dogs and 15 dairy calves underwent whole genome sequencing, and phen ...
