Peritonitisis a major complication of peritoneal dialysis(PD).Although bacteria are the mostresponsible pathogens, fungi can also be the cause of this condition. Candida species (spp.) are common agents in fungal periton...

Abstract Anaplasma platys and A. phagocytophilum are tick-borne pathogens that parasitize platelets and neutrophils, respectively, of humans and animals. The former is the etiological agent of canine cyclic thrombocytope...

Abstract Representatives of the families Didelphidae, Echimyidae, Cricetidae, and Muridae have been identified as significant reservoirs or amplifiers of zoonotic agents. This study aimed to investigate the molecular occ...

ObjectiveTraceability and pathogenetic analysis of two suspected homologous （S. aureus） food poisoning cases.MethodsWe conducted initial screening of pathogens in collected samples of suspected contaminated food， a...

ABSTRACT We recorded aggregations of frugivorous bats swooping down to drink from pools formed by kitchen drains in two locations in western Amazonia. Videos and photographs show at least two species and three genera of ...

Abstract Hemotropic mycoplasmas in dogs, such as Mycoplasma haemocanis, have been described worldwide. Recently, these pathogens have been reported to be causative agent of zoonosis. It is known that its transmission may...

Abstract Invasive species impact native wildlife in several ways, as they compete for resources and may transmit their specific pathogens. However, the potential consequences of co-introduced parasites are not fully unde...

Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a serious threat to global food security, with estimated annual losses exceeding $173 billion. Beyond their direct damage, interactions between PPNs and other phytopathogens can lead ...

The pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS2) affected the geriatric population. Among research models, Golden Syrian hamsters (GSH) are one of the most representative to study SARS2 pathogenesi...

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenicity and antimicrobial resistance of foodborne pathogens isolated from farmstead cheeses. Twenty-seven isolates, including 18 Bacilluscereus, two Esche...

Abstract Background The global rise of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)- and carbapenemase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, poses a critical ...

Abstract Background Phylodynamics, the study of the interaction between epidemiological and pathogen evolutionary processes within and among populations, was originally defined in the context of rapidly evolving viruses ...

ABSTRACT Global warming is one of the major environmental threats facing the world in the 21st century. This fact will have a significant impact on pig production due to its direct effects on welfare, health, and perform...

Abstract Zoonoses are among the greatest threats to human health, with many zoonotic pathogens believed to have emerged following the Neolithic transition. Palaeomicrobiological investigations of the zooarchaeological re...

It is widely known that traditional northern hunter–gatherers such as the Inuit included putrid meat, fish, and fat in their diet, although the ubiquity and dietary importance of decomposing animal foods seem often to ...

Abstract Background Social mixing studies provide crucial evidence for parameterizing mathematical models of infectious disease transmission, and their validity for use in models is dependent on their study design and ho...

Despite the considerable number of studies reported to date, the causative agents of pneumonia are not completely identified. We comprehensively applied modern and traditional laboratory diagnostic techniques to identify...

The mechanisms by which probiotic bacteria exert their effects on the immune system are not completely understood, but the epithelium may be a crucial player in the orchestration of the effects induced. In a previous wor...

Abstract Neighborhood dogs may act as reservoirs for several zoonotic protozoan infections, particularly in urban areas, thus constituting a potential public health threat. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was t...

Mycobacterium wolinskyi (MW) is a rapidly growing mycobacterium that was first identified in 1999 using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Although the number of reported cases of MW infection has been increasing in recent years,...

Abstract Cryptosporidium and Giardia are protozoan parasites that cause diarrhea in humans and animals. Molecular characterization of these pathogens in sewage may provide insight on their occurrence and prevalence in Br...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Antimicrobial resistance is a global health crisis, with its impact magnified in conflict settings like Yemen, where a decimated health system and humanitarian emergency create ideal condition...

Abstract Wild animals and domestic dogs living in human dwellings near forested areas can share ectoparasites, including ticks. In this study, we surveyed ticks associated with dogs which tutors living in the Palmares En...

Abstract Background There are limited data on potential dysbiosis of the airway microbiota in horses with asthma. Hypothesis/Objectives We hypothesized that the respiratory microbiota of horses with moderate asthma is al...
