Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The reappearance of monkeypox (mpox) in Nigeria since 2017 presented with significant epidemiological shifts which has raised serious public health concern both in the domestic and international front. To implement effective response strategies against the disease, understanding its genomic diversity and transmission dynamics is essential. This study […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of infection with Blastocystis, an intestinal protozoan parasite, among school-aged children, and to identify associated risk factors. Although the role of Blastocystis in gastrointestinal symptoms remains debated, it may pose public health concerns, particularly in children with weakened immune systems. A cross-sectional […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Mongolia’s unique socio-economic and geographical characteristics, including its vast grasslands and reliance on traditional livestock herding, pose substantial risks regarding the emergence and transmission of novel zoonotic pathogens. In Mongolia, which has a livestock population exceeding 64 million, close interactions between humans and animals are integral to […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Evidence indicates that coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) can cause meningitis, and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD), and is associated with type 1 diabetes. No effective drug or vaccine is available for treating CVB5 infections or controlling outbreaks. The Vero-cell-adapted vaccine candidate strain KM299-L05 underwent comprehensive phylogenetic analysis, […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This article aimed to determine the annually circulation of Venezuelan (VEEV), Eastern (EEEV), and Western (WEEV) equine encephalitis viruses, identify patterns in case occurrence, and assess the associations with environmental and geographic factors. Serum samples from 548 ill equines exhibiting fever, depression, and/or neurologic symptoms were analyzed […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Because varicella zoster virus (VZV) infections are continually increasing, vaccine efficacy must be enhanced. To date, the inefficient in vivo utilization of antigens and adjuvants has limited vaccine-induced immune protection against VZV infection. Therefore, improving the antigen and adjuvant utilization efficiency is crucial to enhance VZV vaccine […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), caused by the tick-borne severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), is a disease that is endemic to East Asia and has mortality rates reaching 30%. Despite its substantial public health impact, no vaccines or antiviral treatments are currently available. The […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Cockroaches, particularly Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana, are among the most medically important insects, because of their close association with human living environments. They act as a critical reservoir and vector for a diverse range of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. These pathogens pose substantial public health challenges, […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The objectives of this study were to characterise the epidemiology of human and animal brucellosis in the eastern Algerian province of Constantine, and to identify the interactions between humans and animals, to establish strategies from a unique health perspective considering the context of endemicity and eradication challenges. […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study was aimed at evaluating the relationship between microscopic agglutination test (MAT) seropositivity and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) reactivity in cattle. An additional objective was assessment of the diagnostic value of both tests in detecting seropositivity and infection caused by pathogenic Leptospira. Blood and urine samples […]
