Nanoparticle-Based Vaccines against Zoonotic Viruses: A Review
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Vaccines are the most promising tools for maintaining public health. Most emerging human infectious diseases are caused by zoonotic viruses originating from an animal reservoir via zoonotic transmission. Therefore, zoonotic virus spillover and spread in humans have become global health threats. Nanoparticle-based vaccines are ideal for antigen […]
Clinical Application of SARS-CoV-2 IgM and IgG Antibody Detection Using the Colloidal Gold Immunochromatography Assay
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The COVID-19 pandemic, which was caused by SARS-CoV-2, has had a significant effect on global public health, economies, and societies worldwide. Serum antibody testing is a critical method for the diagnosis of COVID-19 and can complement RT-PCR in the diagnosis of COVID-19 patients; however, the performance of […]
Pandemic COVID-19 and Endemic Neglected Tropical Diseases: Friends or Foes?
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. The COVID-19 pandemic threatens public health systems worldwide, both in developed and developing countries. The authors of this article discuss various effects of the pandemic on the status of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs). COVID-19 will be a public health issue for an extended period. COVID-19 presented several […]
NA N342K Mutation Enhances the Pathogenicity of Influenza B Virus in Mice
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Influenza B virus is a significant respiratory pathogen responsible for seasonal influenza. In recent years the B/Yamagata lineage has demonstrated a rapid increase, predominantly featuring the neuraminidase (NA)N342K mutation. This study determined the impact of the NAN342K mutation on the pathogenicity of influenza B virus and elucidate the underlying […]
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 […]
