Candida haemulonii Species Complex: Emerging Fungal Pathogens of the Metschnikowiaceae Clade
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Candida species, the most common fungal pathogens affecting humans, cause not only superficial infections but also life-threatening invasive infections, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Although Candida albicans remains the most frequent cause of candidiasis, infections caused by non-albicans Candida species have been increasingly reported in clinical settings over the past two decades. […]
The Threat of Cholera in Africa
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. A multi-country cholera outbreak has occurred in several developing countries in Africa, Asia and Oceania since mid-2021. The current multi-country cholera outbreak has spread primarily in Africa. As of February 2023, cholera cases have been reported in approximately 25 countries, 15 (60%) of which are in sub-Saharan […]
Optimizing the Use of Solid-Phase Reversible Immobilization Beads for High-Throughput Full-Length 16S rDNA Sequencing Library Construction
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Solid-phase reversible immobilization (SPRI) beads are widely used for high-throughput sequencing library construction to purify and recover nucleic acids. This article investigates the effects of SPRI bead ratio, incubation time, and elution time on nucleic acid recovery during full-length 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing library construction. The effects […]
Rapid and Visual Detection of Monkey B Virus Based on Recombinase Polymerase Amplification
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Monkey B virus (BV) infection in humans and other macaque species has a mortality rate of approximately 80%. Because BV infects humans through bites, scratches, and other injuries inflicted by macaques, the simple and rapid diagnosis of BV in field laboratories is of great importance to protect […]
Klebsiella, a Hitherto Underappreciated Zoonotic Pathogen of Importance to One Health
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Members of the genus, Klebsiella, are becoming increasingly challenging to control due to the recent convergence of multidrug resistant (MDR) and hypervirulent (hv) phenotypes in some species of concern to One Health. This article provides an introduction to this bacterial genus in the hospital and other settings, update Klebsiella taxonomy, and […]
Visual and Rapid Detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Stool Samples by FTA Card-based Loop-mediated Isothermal Amplification
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Escherichia coli O157:H7 (E. coli O157:H7) can induce severe diseases in animals and humans that result in significant public health problems. Therefore, the development of rapid and visual detection methods to diagnose E. coli O157:H7 infections and monitor its prevalence is critical for the prevention and control purposes. A colorimetric loop-mediated […]
Antimicrobial Resistance, Virulence, and Genetic Characterization of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Recovered from Ready-to-Eat (RTE) Food in China: A New Challenge for Food Safety
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, antimicrobial resistance, virulence profiles, and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) obtained from ready-to-eat (RTE) foods in China. Two hundred seventy-six RTE food-associated S. aureus isolates were collected from 25 provinces across China in 2018, then characterized by antimicrobial susceptibility […]
