Novel Clinical and Genomic Signatures of the 2022 Monkeypox Virus
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The monkeypox outbreaks started in 2022 and became an unexpected public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The factors that drove this neglected zoonosis in Africa into a global focus are largely unknown. Combined clinical, epidemiologic, and phylogenomic analyses indicate that substantial genome mutations, deletions, and rearrangement […]
RNA-seq Analysis of the BCG Vaccine in a Humanized Mouse Model
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. This study was aimed at screening differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and exploring the potential immune mechanism induced by the Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine in a humanized mouse model. Candidate DEGs between mice vaccinated with BCG or injected with PBS were identified through transcriptomics, and their biological […]
Development and Efficacy Evaluation of an SP01-adjuvanted Inactivated Escherichia Coli Mutant Vaccine Against Bovine Coliform Mastitis
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common pathogens causing clinical mastitis in cattle, but no vaccine is available to prevent this disease in China. Therefore, development of an E. coli vaccine against bovine clinical mastitis is urgently needed. In this research, the candidate vaccine (Ch-O111-1) and challenge […]
One Health Approach for the Control of Zoonotic Diseases
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Zoonoses are infectious diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans and/or from humans to animals. Approximately 75% of new emerging and re-emerging disease pathogens are zoonotic: 60% spread from domestic and wild animals, and 80% are of concern regarding bioterrorism. For the past 20 years, […]
Microbial Communities in the Lungs of Bats in China
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Bats are the hosts of multiple pathogens, but the microbial composition of their lung tissues remains unknown. This study investigates the species compositions and genera of important respiratory tract pathogenic bacteria in bat lung tissue. A microbiota study was conducted in Hebei, Henan and Guizhou provinces in […]
In silico Design of a Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Glycoprotein Multi-Epitope Antigen for Vaccine Development
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. No licensed vaccine is available to prevent the severe tick-borne disease Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), caused by the CCHF virus (CCHFV). This study sought to show that a combination of computational methods and data from published literature can inform the design of a multi-epitope antigen for CCHFV […]
Global Infectious Diseases in September 2022: Monthly Analysis
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The threat of infectious diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms to both human health and the economy is enormous. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) remains a global pandemic. In contrast to many other infectious diseases, monkeypox spreads rapidly and cannot be ignored. Collection of data on contagious diseases can […]
Global Infectious Diseases, August 2022
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Infectious diseases have greatly affected the development of human history, owing to their unpredictable zoonotic characteristics. The recording of infectious diseases epidemic data provides information on disease transmission trends and enables research on the risk of penitential epidemics and the mechanisms of transmission of infectious diseases. Recent […]
Distinct Genotype of Hantavirus Infection in Rodents in Jiangxi Province, China, in 2020–2021
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Hantavirus causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, thus posing a major threat to human health in Jiangxi Province, China. Both Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Seoul virus (SEOV) have been found to be endemic in the province. Rodents were trapped from Gaoan Anyi and Tonggu counties in Jiangxi […]
