Investigating behaviors of zoonotic and human pathogens on plants
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates the incidence of foodborne illness attributed to fruit and vegetable consumption at three million cases in the U.S. annually (Painter et al. , 2013). The means by which food crops become contaminated with foodborne pathogens as well as …

Assessment of the Zoonotic Potential of a Novel Bovine Influenza Virus
… in a small cohort, has addressed the zoonotic potential of IDV to date, despite evidence that the virus can infect multiple mammalian species. Regardless of zoonotic potential, it is clear that IDV have distinct host ranges from ICV but the molecular markers responsible are not known. …

Social ecological determinants of occupational zoonotic disease exposure on Colorado dairy farms
The presence of zoonotic pathogens in dairy farms is a known risk for people that work and live in these settings. People who work or live on a farm, farm visitors, service providers, and veterinarians are the most at risks of zoonotic infections. Dairy cattle operations represent a working …

Mathematical modeling of zoonotic disease transmission under the impact of land use change
… the impact of land use change. We develop a zoonotic disease transmission model that describes spillover of Puumala virus from bank voles to humans during land conversion. Our model introduces a land conversion index to capture the dependence of the carrying capacity and the death rate of …

The study of highly pathogenic emerging zoonotic virus envelope proteins through pseudotyped virus generation
Emerging zoonotic viruses pose an increasing threat, causing outbreaks with high rates of morbidity and mortality and frequently significant economic implications. Often, there is a lack or shortfall of effective prophylaxis and diagnostic capabilities. Research towards their development, together …

Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius in animals: molecular epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance, virulence and zoonotic potential
Staphylococcus aureus es colonizador común de la piel y mucosas del hombre y otros animales y el perro es el hospedador habitual de S. pseudintermedius. Ambas especies son también importantes patógenos oportunistas. La epidemiología y ecología de estas especies bacterianas en animales ha cobrado …

Using biophysical tools to explore the erythrocyte preferences of the zoonotic malaria parasite Plasmodium knowlesi
… cases and fatalities, *P. knowlesi* is the only zoonotic malaria parasite, infecting both humans and macaques. It is also the closest relative of human-infecting *P. vivax*, which is currently not possible to continuously culture in vitro. Therefore, as well as being an interesting …

Zoonotic disease dynamics in displacement: A multisite case study in Sindh, Pakistan and Mafraq, Jordan
… pathogens originates in animals. These zoonotic diseases are considered a threat to public health in emergencies and displacement, linked to changes in pathogen and vector environment. Although little is known about the exact disease dynamics due to scarce evidence, the fear of zoonoses …

The burden of zoonoses on public health: predicting zoonotic outbreaks usind different measures of pathogen richness
Zoonotic pathogens shared with wild or domesticated animals are the cause of more than 60% of human infectious diseases. These pathogens are responsible for millions of deaths annually and have resulted in costs of over a hundred billion U.S. dollars in the past three decades. Investigating …

EPIDEMIOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION OF PARASITES OF ANIMAL - SPECIFIC AND ZOONOTIC IMPORTANCE IN PIG FARMS IN NORTHERN ITALY.
… diagnoses. An additional concern is the zoonotic potential of several pig parasites, which can pose health risks to individuals working along the food production chain, from farm personnel to abattoir workers. Control measures should be focused on both eliminating parasites from the host …

Detection of zoonotic bacterial pathogens in multiple hosts using a microbiome approach and molecular characterization of Anaplasma phagocytophilum
… clinics. Recent research suggested that zoonotic pathogens either rodent-borne or tick-borne may be common aetiologies of febrile illness in the community. The study had shown that patients presenting with non-malarial AFI had prior exposure to Bartonella spp., spotted fever group …

Prevalence Of, Risk Factors For, And Zoonotic Potential Of Giardia Spp. Infection In Cats Housed In An Animal Shelter
… of cats in animal shelters as data regarding the zoonotic potential of Giardia-infected cats are lacking. Cysts of the various genotypes are morphologically indistinguishable by light microscopy and advanced molecular techniques are required to determine their assemblage type. Little information …

Cryptosporidium and Giardia in calves in Belgium
… are considered as a possible reservoir for zoonotic transmission. The objectives of the present thesis were to estimate the prevalence of both parasites in calves younger than 10 weeks, to evaluate common diagnostic techniques, to molecularly identify the parasite isolates, and to study …

Presumptive identification of smooth Brucella strain antibodies in canines
Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by a Gram-negative coccobacillus. There are four Brucella strains of zoonotic importance in our domestic species, subdivided by their culture phenotypes: Brucella abortus (B. abortus, B. melitensis, B. suis (smooth strains) and B. canis (rough strain). Dogs …
