Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Oropouche virus (genus Orthobunyavirus, family Peribunyaviridae) is an arthropod-borne virus that infects several species of animals and humans, primarily in South America. Despite being described as a human pathogen >60 years ago, little progress has been made towards describing the ecologic and pathologic characteristics of this pathogen. However, with […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Songling virus (SGLV) is a spherical, enveloped, fragmented, negative-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Orthonairovirus in the Nairoviridae family. SGLV is transmitted by ticks and can cause disease in humans. This study identified and characterized SGLV in Haemaphysalis concinna ticks collected in 2023 in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture (China) near the […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Distribution of the bacterium flora in ticks has an essential role in mapping and preventing local tick-borne diseases. The purpose of this study was to map the bacterium flora and identify the main pathogens in ticks in grazing areas of Yunnan province. The V3-V4 region of 16S […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Disease X stands as a symbol for a subset of emerging infectious diseases rising to prominence as a significant challenge to global health security. This comprehensive review delves into the historical context, precise definition, and illustrative case studies of disease X, including notable examples, such as COVID-19, […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was caused by SARS-CoV-2. This article discussed the development of an mRNA vaccine (LVRNA009) that encoded the S protein of the Wuhan-Hu-1 strain and evaluated the long-term protection potential against SARS-CoV-2 variants. Mice were initially vaccinated with 2 doses of […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a vector-borne disease posing increasing public health concerns. Although efforts to eliminate VL are underway, its global risk distribution remains unclear, because of changes in transmission risk. Worldwide province-level data on VL incidence were obtained from multiple sources. The authors of this article […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Lone Star virus (LSV) is a newly characterized arbovirus with pathogenic potential. However, no detection methods are available to specifically identify and monitor LSV. Two SYBR green-based RT-qPCRs were developed and validated for the detection and quantification of LSV. Two primer sets were evaluated for reproducibility, specificity, […]
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Trypanosoma cruzi, the protozoan parasite and cause of Chagas disease, is widely distributed in many vertebrate and triatomine species throughout North, Central, and South America. Variations in housing quality largely determines human infection risk in the Americas. However, the southern U.S. contains widespread, infected triatomine vectors and […]
