Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. In past decades, numerous emerging infectious diseases have markedly affected global health and social-economic development. Consequently, the concept of “disease X” has been developed and lists of the pathogens with potential to cause future pandemics have been proposed and updated several times by the World Health Organization. […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Ticks have garnered significant research interest owing to their ability to vector pathogens into humans and animals. The intricate symbiotic associations between ticks and tick microbiota substantially influence developmental processes, reproductive success, and potential to serve as vectors for tick-transmitted diseases. This paper reviews the epidemiology of […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Caliciviruses are associated with several disease symptoms, such as diarrhea, respiratory infections, vesicular lesions, reproductive failure, and fatal hemorrhagic disease in animals. Novel disease-causing caliciviruses continue to be discovered in mammals. Through a metagenomics approach, a novel calicivirus was identified and genetically characterized in swab samples from […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study was aimed at analyzing the pathogenic characteristics of Bordetella hinzii (B. hinzii), and elucidating its antibiotic resistance mechanisms, virulence gene distribution, and vaccine development potential. Genomes of 38 global strains were downloaded from the NCBI database. After quality control with CheckM, pan-genome analysis was performed with Roary, […]
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 […]
