Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. A new nematode was found during a survey of the microbiota and parasites of the Chinese medicinal cockroach, Eupolyphaga sinensis (Walker, 1868) in China. The nematodes were sampled from E. sinensis, which were collected in a rural area of Hunan province. Adult nematodes of both sexes were observed in detail […]
We are delighted to announce that Zoonoses is now an affiliated journal of the Brazilian Society for Virology (SBV). Zoonoses, an open access journal, has been established to be part of the broader goal of sharing scientific findings and viewpoints, promoting national/international collaborations, and to increase public awareness of the health risks of zoonoses. Zoonoses currently imposes no article […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Diagnosis of scrub typhus is difficult, because of its non-specific clinical features and a lack of reliable serological assays. This study assessed real time PCR detection of the 47 kDa gene along with routine IgM ELISA for confirmatory diagnosis of scrub typhus. This observational study was conducted […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Cyclosporiasis is an emerging disease that is ubiquitous in humans and other animals worldwide. Cyclospora cayetanensis, which is distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions, and endemic in several developing countries, is the only species of Cyclospora resulting in cyclosporiasis in humans. This article summarizes the prevalence of Cyclospora in humans, […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Scrub typhus, caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi, is a vector-borne, zoonotic disease commonly occurring in a geographic region known as the ‘tsutsugamushi triangle’. Scrub typhus causes acute undifferentiated febrile illness (AUFI) with non-specific clinical features and is difficult to diagnose when a highly characteristic but not pathognomonic eschar is […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Shanghai and Hong Kong, China, experienced an outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2022. Both cities had similar dynamic prevention policies and population-level immunity but showed differences in the numbers of cases and deaths. Data was collected from official websites to estimate and compare the infection rates, mortality […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. In the context of two Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreaks involving local transmission and an international flight, the authors of this article used meta-transcriptome and multi-amplicon sequencing to successfully acquire the complete viral genome sequences from clinical samples with varying viral loads. To enhance […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable, viral zoonotic disease caused by a lyssavirus. This study was aimed at analyzing the epidemiological characteristics of human rabies in Shanghai to provide valuable information to support accurate prevention and control. Individual-level data on human rabies and dog bites/attacks in Shanghai were collected […]
