Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Inner Mongolia, with its vast grasslands providing ideal habitats for ticks, has recently emerged as a hotspot of novel tick-borne virus (TBV) prevalence. However, the diversity of TBVs and their potential spillover risks remain to be elucidated. In 2021, 500 Haemaphysalis longicornis, Ixodes persulcatus, and Dermacentor silvarum ticks were collected […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), an exotoxin produced by single- or multi-drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), can induce food poisoning and toxic shock syndrome. Because no treatment is available for SEB-poisoned patients, development of a safe and effective SEB antidote is urgently needed. First, SEB was prepared, and native SEB […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Listeriosis is among the most severe food-borne diseases affecting both animals and humans, and it presents a serious threat to public health, animal welfare, and the food industry. Food products contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm), the causative agent of listeriosis, are recognized as the primary source of infection. Since […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Lassa virus (LASV) glycoprotein complex (GPC) contains retained stable-signal peptide (SSP), glycoprotein 1 (GP1), and glycoprotein 2 (GP2). Through serial passaging of LASV with inhibitors, adaptive mutants were obtained, most of which had mutations in the transmembrane (TM) domain of GP2. Characterizing the fusion inhibitor target within […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Vaccinia virus (VACV) confers cross-protective immunity against variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox, and has therefore been extensively exploited as a preventive vaccine. Despite the global eradication of smallpox in the 1980s, research efforts involving VACV have continued due to the potential threat of variola virus […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study was aimed at exploring pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) epidemiological characteristics and trends in China from 2016 to 2022, to provide evidence for optimizing strategies and measures for tuberculosis prevention and control. Data on PTB in China reported from 2016 to 2022 were obtained from the Chinese […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) are critical pathogens identified by the WHO for their significant drug resistance. Targeting of bacterial gyrase, specifically the gyrB subunit, is a promising approach because of this enzyme’s essential role in bacterial DNA replication and its absence in higher eukaryotes. […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Ticks are important vectors for many pathogens affecting humans and animals. This study was aimed at investigating the species composition, genetic diversity, and potential transmission risks of tick-borne pathogens in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. A total of 980 ticks were collected from 14 prefecture-level cities […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The World Health Organization (WHO) “Global Tuberculosis Report 2024” underscores the ongoing challenges and progress in the global fight against tuberculosis (TB). Despite a slowdown in the annual increase in TB cases and a decline in TB-related deaths, the disease remains a significant public health threat with […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study investigates the viral diversity associated with marine organisms in the South China Sea, to improve understanding of the region’s viral ecosystems. Viruses profoundly influence aquatic ecosystems, by affecting marine biogeochemical cycles and posing threats to marine organisms. Nonetheless, a comprehensive study of marine organisms’ viral […]
