A study of the transmission pathways of organisms associated with nosocomial infections at a veterinary academic hospital
… settings, this group of organisms is often zoonotic and tends to acquire resistance determinants. As a result, most of these bacteria are multidrug-resistant, which limits treatment options and patient prognosis. Organisms associated with HAIs are transmitted mainly through the hands of …

Prevalence and environmental risk factors for ten zoonoses in two cree communities of James Bay (Canada
Zoonoses are diseases transmitted from animals to humans and populations in close contact to wildlife are more at risk to contracting them. A study to document the seroprevalence for ten zoonotic infections was conducted in the Cree communities of Eastmain and Wemindji (Canada) in 2007. The general …

Tracking Pathogen Transmission at the Human-Wildlife Interface: Banded Mongoose (Mungos mungo) and Escherichia coli as a Model System in Chobe, Botswana
Anthropozoonotic diseases, defined as infectious diseases caused by pathogens transmitted from humans to wildlife, pose a significant health threat to wildlife populations. Many of these pathogens are also able to move from wildlife reservoirs to humans, termed zoonotic diseases, creating the …

The ability of TLR agonists to upregulate Brucella abortus strain RB51 mediated protection in a murine respiratory model
Brucella abortus is amongst the top 5 zoonotic diseases worldwide. The overall goal of this research is to generate a safe and effective vaccine for humans. Brucella abortus strain RB51, approved for use in cattle, provides protection by initiating a strong T-helper 1 (Th1) type response is a …

Papel de las aves en la dispersión de garrapatas y microorganismos que vehiculan
Ticks are vectors of zoonotic diseases of relevant concern for Public Health. Birds are host of these arthropods and they can transport them during their movements, migratory or not. Data about microorganisms harboured by ticks from birds in Spain are scarce. This fact highlighted the necessity of …

A seasonal comparison of the gut microbiome of the Southern Lesser Galago Galago moholi (A.Smith 1836)
… of contact humans have with non-human primates. Zoonotic pathogens have increased the risk of disease emergence significantly. Non-human primates are major reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. The close relatedness of primates, including humans, increases chances of sharing harmful pathogens. The gut …
