Long-Term Protection from SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Mice by a Phase II Clinically Evaluated Original mRNA Vaccine Booster
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 […]
Global Distribution and Prediction of Transmission-Risk of Visceral Leishmaniasis
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 […]
Development of a SYBR Green-Based RT-qPCR Assay for the Detection and Quantification of Lone Star Virus
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, […]
The Unfortunate Abundance of Trypanosoma cruzi in Naturally Infected Dogs and Monkeys Provides Unique Opportunities to Advance Solutions for Chagas Disease
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 […]

A New Genus and Species of Nematode (Oxyurida, Thelastomatoidea) from the Chinese Medicinal Cockroach, Eupolyphaga sinensis (Walker, 1868)
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 […]
Zoonoses now an SBV affiliated journal
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 […]
Evaluation of Real Time PCR Detection of the 47 kDa Gene for Reliable Diagnosis of Pediatric Scrub Typhus
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 […]
Cyclospora and Cyclosporiasis: The Nepalese Perspective
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, […]
