Rift Valley fever (RVF) is a vector-borne zoonotic disease whose occurrence is strongly associated with climatic and environmental conditions, making data-driven approaches potentially valuable for epidemiological surveillance and risk assessment. Us...
The emergence and re-emergence of zoonotic diseases represent one of the most significant public health challenges of the twenty-first century [...]
Decisions about vector-borne zoonotic disease control often have to be made before the evidence is complete. Human surveillance, entomological observations, animal reservoir or sentinel data, environmental indicators, and modelling outputs may provid...
Wastewater treatment plants are important interfaces for the persistence and environmental dissemination of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, yet quantitative culture-based studies comparing treated effluent with paired upstream and downstream receiving...
Historically, mpox was thought to be a geographically constrained ‘disease of poverty,’ leading to decades of neglect by global health actors. Waning population immunity from the cessation of smallpox vaccination and prolonged scientific...
Background/Objectives: Melioidosis is an environmentally acquired infection caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei (B. pseudomallei). Although historically framed as a tropical disease, evidence indicates that recognized risk can extend beyond classical...
Dengue virus (DENV) remains a major global public health challenge, driven by the expanding distribution of Aedes vectors, rapid urbanization, and increasing climate variability. This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on dengue transmission...
Severe malaria remains a global public health challenge, and acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and potentially lethal complication. Variability in diagnostic criteria has limited estimation of the reported burden, particularly in pediatric popu...
Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne zoonotic disease associated with high case fatality rates in humans and represents a significant public health threat in endemic areas of Kosovo. However, data on viral circulation i...
Q fever, caused by Coxiella burnetii, is a globally distributed zoonosis that remains substantially underdiagnosed, despite increasing reports of human and animal infections across Europe. Within the Zoonoses Working Group of the Trás-os-Monte...
Ectoparasite-borne infections have become a global public health problem. This study investigated the diversity of fleas and mites associated with wild rodents in the northeastern region of Argentine Patagonia and analyzed the molecular presence of R...
Rat hepatitis E virus (rHEV) is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, increasingly detected in human, animal, and environmental samples globally. Although rHEV shares the same subfamily as human hepatitis E virus (HEV; Paslahepevirus balayani), which is end...
Leptospirosis is a climate-sensitive zoonosis whose transmission is associated with environmental and hydrological conditions, particularly in tropical regions. This ecological time-series study investigated the associations between leptospirosis inc...
Mpox is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by the species Orthopoxvirus monkeypox (MPV), which is becoming an increasing public health concern. While human-to-human transmission of the virus is well established, the role of domestic animals in MPV...
