In 2025, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) experienced its 16th Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak, centered in the Bulape Health Zone of Kasai Province, amid multiple concurrent epidemics and limited health infrastructure. Genomic sequencin...
Background: Capillaria hepatica is a zoonotic nematode primarily infecting rodents. In humans, it causes hepatic capillariasis, a disease that resembles hepatitis. Rodents act as primary reservoirs and key amplifiers of transmission by ingesting the...
Khettara are traditional underground irrigation systems widely distributed in southern Morocco, many of which are currently abandoned. These semi-subterranean ecosystems may provide suitable microhabitats for phlebotomine sand flies, yet no entomolog...
Porcine cysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of the zoonotic parasite Taenia solium, poses a public health and economic burden in endemic regions. This study explored stakeholder perspectives on porcine cysticercosis control and risk factors in...
Pigs play a key role in the ecology of influenza A viruses (IAVs), particularly in avian influenza (AI)-endemic regions where co-circulation of viruses from different hosts increases reassortment risk. Between September 2023 and August 2024, we surve...
The high genetic diversity and broad host range of betacoronavirus lead to frequent zoonotic outbreaks, posing a severe threat to public health. Therefore, the development of broad-spectrum antiviral agents is critical. Our study evaluated the broad-...
Cryptosporidium spp. is a widely distributed gastrointestinal pathogen in vertebrates, such as the European wild boar. Furthermore, with a fecal–oral pathway, they might spread through tainted food and water or by direct contact. Related to the...
Meat condemnation at slaughterhouses reflects the rate of animal diseases, economic losses, and potential public health risks. In northern Nigeria, however, longitudinal and model-based assessments of condemnation patterns using routine abattoir data...
Variegated squirrel bornavirus 1 (VSBV-1) is a recently identified zoonotic virus associated with fatal encephalitis in humans. A literature search in electronic databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar was performed using...
Brucellosis is a common zoonotic infection in India, caused by a facultative intracellular bacterium, Gram-negative coccobacillus, and frequently presents with nonspecific symptoms. This study aimed to assess serum cytokine levels (IL-6, IL-10, IFN-&...
Bats are recognized reservoirs for a vast array of viral diversity, including members of the Hepadnaviridae family. Within a One Health framework, genomic surveillance of these animals is fundamental to understanding viral diversity and the potential...
The Third Plague Pandemic originated in 19th-century Yunnan, China, yet the confluence of factors that enabled the pandemic strain Yersinia pestis 1.ORI to emerge and spread globally remains unclear. Using a One Health framework, this study investiga...
Pasteurella species are facultatively anaerobic Gram-negative coccobacilli residing in the upper respiratory tract of mammals, fowl and domestic animals including cats and dogs. Localized infections with Pasteurella species are common but invasive in...
Background: The resurgence of Mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) since the 2022 global outbreak has exposed weaknesses in surveillance, diagnosis, and public risk communication systems. Despite increased clinical understanding, limitations in knowled...
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) is a transboundary and zoonotic viral disease affecting poultry and wild birds in many countries worldwide. Globally, HPAI outbreaks have led to the death or culling of hundreds of millions of birds over the p...
