Abstract:
... An emergent disease has relegated populations of the Mediterranean pen shell, Pinna nobilis L. critically endangered to sanctuaries featuring salinities outside the 36.5 to 39 range. Point pattern analysis was used in three areas of the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta) still hosting pen shells to assess the possible undergoing of disease spread by comparing the spatial distribution of live individuals vs. ...

Abstract:
... Community composition, including the relative density of each host species, plays a vital role in the transmission of parasites or disease in freshwater ecosystems. Whereas some host species can effectively transmit parasites, others can act as dead ends (non-viable transmission routes), accumulating large numbers of parasites throughout their life, thus becoming important sinks for parasite popul ...
... Myxomatosis is an emergent disease in the Iberian hare (Lepus granatensis). In this species, the disease is caused by a natural recombinant virus (ha‐myxoma virus [MYXV]) identified for the first time in 2018 and has since been responsible for a large number of outbreaks in Spain and Portugal. The ha‐MYXV, which harbours a 2.8 Kb insert‐disrupting gene M009L, can also infect and cause disease in w ...
... Treponeme‐associated hoof disease (TAHD) is an emergent disease of elk (Cervus canadensis) in the Pacific West of the United States. Although lesions are usually restricted to the feet, anecdotal reports suggested increased prevalence of abnormal antlers in affected elk. We used hunter harvest reports for 1,688 adult male elk harvested in southwestern Washington, USA, during 2016‐2018, to evaluate ...
emergingdiseases, etc ; pathogens; systematic review; wildlife; wildlife diseases; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... Long‐term wildlife disease research (LTWDR) and its interfaces with humans and domestic animals provide perspective to understand the diseases’ main drivers and how they operate. In a systematic review, we analysed the temporal trend of the studies on LTWDR, their aims, and the hosts, pathogens and geographic areas studied. We also evaluated the added value that such studies provide. For analysis, ...
... Lung Cancer (LC) is an emergent disease widespread globally. Compared to other types of cancer, LC has one of the lowest survival rates (18%). As some risk factors associated with the development of lung carcinogenesis are still unavoidable, researchers have been trying to find efficient and safe alternatives that can help prevent LC or even attenuate its rapid evolution after diagnosis. Studies w ...
emergingdiseases, etc ; data collection; graphs; learning; neural networks; phenotype; prediction; researchers; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Similar diseases are usually caused by molecular origins or similar phenotypes. Confirming the relationship between diseases can help researchers gain a deep insight of the pathogenic mechanisms of emerging complex diseases, and improve the corresponding diagnoses and treatment. Therefore, similar diseases are considerably important in biology and pathology. However, the insufficient number of lab ...
emergingdiseases, etc ; agricultural land; agricultural trade; deforestation; exports; land policy; risk; zoonoses; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Tropical deforestation and associated risks of emerging zoonotic diseases are being driven by large-scale land acquisitions for the production of agricultural exports. Current policies on land deals and agricultural trade fail to address this. ...
emergingdiseases, etc ; African swine fever; area; data collection; disease outbreaks; dynamic models; morbidity; swine; China; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Since the outbreak of African swine fever (ASF) in Shengyang, it has continued spreading in China. In the early stage of the epidemic, multi‐point and concentrated outbreaks were mainly in the swill feeding areas. In this paper, we developed compartmental models to investigate the transmission of ASF in several raising units including Guquan, Jinba and Liancheng. Using the data collected from thes ...

Abstract:
... Coffee ringspot virus (CoRSV) belongs to the Dichorhavirus genus and has been considered the causal agent of the emergent disease in commercial coffee orchards. The virus is commonly transmitted by Brevipalpus papayensis Baker (Acari: Tenuipalpidae) in a persistent propagative mode, however B. yothersi is another mite vector. Here, we report for the first time that the common succulent panda plant ...

Abstract:
... Researchers around the globe have been mounting, accelerating, and redeploying efforts across disciplines and organizations to tackle the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. However, humankind continues to be afflicted by numerous other devastating diseases in increasing numbers. Here, we outline considerations and opportunities toward striking a good balance between maintaining and redefining research prioritie ...
... Diseases during aquaculture can limit the growth and survival of sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus), one of the most valuable aquaculture species in China. Recently, a novel disease, named body vesicular syndrome (BVS), has been frequently observed, resulting in the blister, lysis, and rupture of A. japonicus after boiling. Information regarding BVS in A. japonicus, however, has not been addres ...

Abstract:
... Elsevier's 2nd conference on “Impact of Environmental Changes on Infectious Diseases” (IECID), convened in May 2017 in Trieste, Italy, brought together some 120 researchers from more than 20 countries. They presented the latest findings and discussed the impact of current and predicted future environmental changes on infectious disease dynamics in humans, livestock and wildlife in different parts ...

Abstract:
... COVID-19 pandemic outbreak is the most astounding scene ever experienced in the XXI century. In this opinionated review, we underscore the crucial role of biosensing to handle with such situations. As a matter of fact, testing accelerates life-saving decisions on treatment and isolation of COVID-19 patients in an early stage, and thereby, decelerating or even preventing the spread of such emerging ...

Abstract:
... In recent months, the presence of an emerging disease of infectious etiology has paralyzed everyone, already being a public health problem due to its high rate of infection, a life-threatening disease. The WHO has named it COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV2). New studies provide information of the role of the environment in COVID-19 transmission process, ...

Abstract:
... The H5N8 highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) belonging to clade 2.3.4.4 spread from Eastern China to Korea in 2014 and caused outbreaks in domestic poultry until 2016. To understand how H5N8 HPAIVs spread at host species level in Korea during 2014–2016, a Bayesian phylogenetic analysis was used for ancestral state reconstruction and estimation of the host transition dynamics between ...

Abstract:
... The role of competitive interactions among endophytes and latent pathogens that determine disease on stressed plants is largely unknown. Shoot blight caused by Diplodia sapinea is an emerging disease affecting pine forests in Europe. D. sapinea is an endophyte that becomes pathogenic following drought or hail. Disease expression depends on the availability of nutrient‐rich metabolites produced by ...
