Mayaro virus disease: an emerging mosquito-borne zoonosis in tropical South America. (1/1576)

This report describes the clinical, laboratory, and epidemiological findings on 27 cases of Mayaro virus (MV) disease, an emerging mosquito-borne viral illness that is endemic in rural areas of tropical South America. MV disease is a nonfatal, dengue-like illness characterized by fever, chills, headache, eye pain, generalized myalgia, arthralgia, diarrhea, vomiting, and rash of 3-5 days' duration. Severe joint pain is a prominent feature of this illness; the arthralgia sometimes persists for months and can be quite incapacitating. Cases of two visitors from the United States, who developed MV disease during visits to eastern Peru, are reported. MV disease and dengue are difficult to differentiate clinically.  (+info)

Long-term studies of hantavirus reservoir populations in the southwestern United States: rationale, potential, and methods. (2/1576)

Hantaviruses are rodent-borne zoonotic agents that cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome in Asia and Europe and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in North and South America. The epidemiology of human diseases caused by these viruses is tied to the ecology of the rodent hosts, and effective control and prevention relies on a through understanding of host ecology. After the 1993 HPS outbreak in the southwestern United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated long-term studies of the temporal dynamics of hantavirus infection in host populations. These studies, which used mark-recapture techniques on 24 trapping webs at nine sites in the southwestern United States, were designed to monitor changes in reservoir population densities and in the prevalence and incidence of infection; quantify environmental factors associated with these changes; and when linked to surveillance databases for HPS, lead to predictive models of human risk to be used in the design and implementation of control and prevention measures for human hantavirus disease.  (+info)

Preventing zoonotic diseases in immunocompromised persons: the role of physicians and veterinarians. (3/1576)

We surveyed physicians and veterinarians in Wisconsin about the risk for and prevention of zoonotic diseases in immunocompromised persons. We found that physicians and veterinarians hold significantly different views about the risks posed by certain infectious agents and species of animals and communicate very little about zoonotic issues; moreover, physicians believe that veterinarians should be involved in many aspects of zoonotic disease prevention, including patient education.  (+info)

Natural and experimental oral infection of nonhuman primates by bovine spongiform encephalopathy agents. (4/1576)

Experimental lemurs either were infected orally with the agent of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or were maintained as uninfected control animals. Immunohistochemical examination for proteinase-resistant protein (prion protein or PrP) was performed on tissues from two infected but still asymptomatic lemurs, killed 5 months after infection, and from three uninfected control lemurs. Control tissues showed no staining, whereas PrP was detected in the infected animals in tonsil, gastrointestinal tract and associated lymphatic tissues, and spleen. In addition, PrP was detected in ventral and dorsal roots of the cervical spinal cord, and within the spinal cord PrP could be traced in nerve tracts as far as the cerebral cortex. Similar patterns of PrP immunoreactivity were seen in two symptomatic and 18 apparently healthy lemurs in three different French primate centers, all of which had been fed diets supplemented with a beef protein product manufactured by a British company that has since ceased to include beef in its veterinary nutritional products. This study of BSE-infected lemurs early in their incubation period extends previous pathogenesis studies of the distribution of infectivity and PrP in natural and experimental scrapie. The similarity of neuropathology and PrP immunostaining patterns in experimentally infected animals to those observed in both symptomatic and asymptomatic animals in primate centers suggests that BSE contamination of zoo animals may have been more widespread than is generally appreciated.  (+info)

Ortho- and paramyxoviruses from migrating feral ducks: characterization of a new group of influenza A viruses. (5/1576)

Ortho- and parainfluenza viruses isolated from the cloacas of migrating feral ducks shot on the Mississippi flyway included three strains of influenza. A virus (Hav6 Nav1, Hav6 Nl, Hav7 Neq2) as well as Newcastle disease virus. One influenza virus, A/duck/Memphis/546/74, possessed Hav3 haemagglutinin, but the neuraminidase was not inhibited by any of the known influenza reference antisera. The neuraminidase on this virus was related to the neuraminidases on A/duck/GDR/72 (H2 N?), A/turkey/Ontario/7732/66 (Hav 5 N?), A/duck/Ukraine/1/60 (Hav3 N?) and A/turkey/Wisconsin/68. We therefore propose that the neuraminidase on this group of influenza viruses be designated Nav6. The A/duck/Memphis/546/74 influenza virus caused an ocular discharge in 1 of 5 ducks and was shed in faeces for 10 days; it was stable in faecal samples for up to 3 days at 20 degrees C. These results suggest that ecological studies on influenza in avian species should include attempts to isolate virus from faeces. Faecal-oral transmission is an attractive explanation for the spread of influenza virus from feral birds to other animals.  (+info)

Gnathostomosis, an emerging foodborne zoonotic disease in Acapulco, Mexico. (6/1576)

Between 1993 and 1997, 98 gnathostomosis cases were clinically identified in Acapulco, Mexico. Intermittent cutaneous migratory swellings were the commonest manifestation. Larvae were identified in 26 cases, while in 72, final diagnosis was made on the basis of epidemiologic data, food habits, and positive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot results.  (+info)

Epidemiology of human fascioliasis: a review and proposed new classification. (7/1576)

The epidemiological picture of human fascioliasis has changed in recent years. The number of reports of humans infected with Fasciola hepatica has increased significantly since 1980 and several geographical areas have been described as endemic for the disease in humans, with prevalence and intensity ranging from low to very high. High prevalence of fascioliasis in humans does not necessarily occur in areas where fascioliasis is a major veterinary problem. Human fascioliasis can no longer be considered merely as a secondary zoonotic disease but must be considered to be an important human parasitic disease. Accordingly, we present in this article a proposed new classification for the epidemiology of human fascioliasis. The following situations are distinguished: imported cases; autochthonous, isolated, nonconstant cases; hypo-, meso-, hyper-, and holoendemics; epidemics in areas where fascioliasis is endemic in animals but not humans; and epidemics in human endemic areas.  (+info)

Human rabies postexposure prophylaxis during a raccoon rabies epizootic in New York, 1993 and 1994. (8/1576)

We describe the epidemiology of human rabies postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) in four upstate New York counties during the 1st and 2nd year of a raccoon rabies epizootic. We obtained data from records of 1,173 persons whose rabies PEP was reported to local health departments in 1993 and 1994. Mean annual PEP incidence rates were highest in rural counties, in summer, and in patients 10 to 14 and 35 to 44 years of age. PEP given after bites was primarily associated with unvaccinated dogs and cats, but most (70%) was not attributable to bites. Although pet vaccination and stray animal control, which target direct exposure, remain the cornerstones of human rabies prevention, the risk for rabies by the nonbite route (e. g., raccoon saliva on pet dogs' and cats' fur) should also be considered.  (+info)

Zoonotic infections are a class of specific diseases and infections that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and humans. Transmission may occur via direct contact with an infected animal or animal product, by ingestion of contaminated water or food products, by inhalation, or through arthropod vectors-most commonly ticks. Diagnosis can be challenging because of the nonspecific nature of symptoms (e.g., fever, headache, and myalgias) which overlap with the presentation of many other infectious and autoimmune diseases. Consider zoonotic infections in patients presenting with viral-like illnesses in conjunction with occupational or geographical risk factors for zoonotic disease exposure and transmission. See Table 97-1 for a list of common systemic zoonotic infections and Table 97-2 for specific treatment recommendations for tick-borne diseases. ...
Three main research products are reported in this dissertation. This research focused on estimation of the seroprevalence rates in agricultural workers with exposure to pigs and poultry, and determination of risk factors for infection. Chapter 2, Are swine workers in the United States at increased risk of infection with zoonotic influenza virus?, reports controlled, cross-sectional seroprevalence studies among farmers, meat processing workers, veterinarians, and control subjects. Using a hemagglutination inhibition assay against six influenza A virus isolates, all 3 exposed study groups demonstrated markedly elevated titers against the H1N1 and H1N2 swine influenza virus isolates, compared with control subjects. Chapter 3, Infection due to 3 avian influenza subtypes in United States veterinarians, describes a controlled, cross-sectional seroprevalence study that examined veterinarians in the United States for evidence of previous avian influenza
The HIV/AIDS pandemic is associated with a number of opportunistic infections of immunocompromised person. Some of these infections are recognized zoonoses that are naturally transmitted between animals and humans. These may be directly transmitted by, animals or indirectly by contact with contaminated food and water. Interactions between animals and humans have a complex interplay and health care providers should be aware of the potential role of animals as reservoirs of infectious diseases for HIV infected patients. The most frequent pattern of infection is characterized either by direct contact with farm or wild animals and/or ingestion of their products. Immunomodulatory antibodies that enhance the immune system to promote the function of immune cells have great promise in preventing and treating opportunistic infections of zoonotic origin in HIV/AIDS patient.
Zoonotic Diseases According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary the definition of a zoonotic disease is a disease communicable from animals to humans under natural conditions. Although rare, bacterial and fungal infections in horses, can cause a variety of illnesses in people, from minor skin infections to serious illnesses. Besides touching your horse, even our common chores such as cleaning stalls and grooming may also put us at risk.. In our world of horses, there are numerous zoonotic diseases and we should be more cautious when we come across them. Well highlight a few below but please check out the references listed for additional zoonotic diseases transmitted by horses. Well cover the topic of prevention in another blog.. There are two ways a zoonotic disease can be transmitted, direct and indirect. Ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, contact with mucous membranes or open wounds and bites are examples of a direct transmission. Examples of indirect transmission are insect bites and ...

The use of animals as a source of cells, tissues, and organs for transplantation - xenotransplantation - has been of increasing interest in recent years. Transplantation of animal tissues into human patients is occurring now at various centers and the possibility of organ xenotransplants is widely discussed. This new volume presents a balanced review of recent progress in understanding the immunologic aspects of xenotransplantation and zoonotic risks. It addresses how the application of various immunosuppressive modalities might compromise the immunological competence of recipients and examines the relevant issues relating to zoonotic disease. This is the first book to deal with the issues of host defense and zoonosis in xenotransplantation and points to the critical issues that must be addressed to make the process safe from the perspective of the patient and society as well as critical questions yet to be answered Valuable reading for physicians, scientists, and those engaged in the development of
In some areas where there is a high risk of emerging zoonotic disease, maybe we shouldnt cut the forest down and have people move in and eat wildlife, he says, pointing to his groups research finding that cutting down tropical forests in Asia for palm oil is leading to workers contracting malaria and occasionally a new zoonotic disease.. Two New York-based researchers argue that the reduced diversity of animals that results from such human activity is leading to an increase in zoonotic disease and that conserving biodiversity can protect against such new diseases emerging and spreading.. The researchers, Ostfeld of the Cary Institute and Felicia Keesing, professor of science, mathematics and computing at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., say they have demonstrated this theory in their study of Lyme disease in the U.S. Northeast. (See Short Feature.) The number of ticks carrying the disease is lower in undisturbed forests - areas with more animal diversity - than in the fragmented ...
Shelter animals in particular are high-risk populations, given their high levels of stress and susceptibility to infectious pathogens. The researchers point to a 2017 outbreak of H7N2 bird flu in New Yorks cat shelters as an example of new transmission pathways across a large population of over 300 animals and into people. Previously identified in the citys poultry markets, the virus had not been known to cross over into cats prior to this event.. In the UK and USA there is no population health surveillance for companion animals, with veterinary practices having limited access to ad hoc warning systems. Animals who die in zoos in the UK, unlike the USA, do not undergo mandatory necropsy, the animal equivalent of a human autopsy, missing a crucial opportunity to detect potential and confirmed disease present in animal populations.. The researchers say that the anticipation and early detection of potential zoonotic events should be a first order objective for any developing health security ...

The wriggly worms your furry friend can contract could actually pose a threat to you as a pet-owner. Roundworm, hookworm and tapeworm including hydatid and flea tapeworm, are the main parasitic worms our pets are susceptible to and they do pose a zoonotic risk - the potential for the disease to be transferred from animal to human. Children are especially at risk of becoming infected, because they are more likely to be exposed to, or accidently ingest contaminated soil or animal faeces. Zoonosis is serious, as these worms wish to live inside a cat or dogs stomach, so if they are accidently consumed and develop inside the human body; the health implications for a person are shocking. Roundworm larvae for example, will hatch in the intestine before migrating upwards through abdominal organs, damaging the lungs, sometimes even reaching the brain and causing blindness. Hydatid tapeworm embryos travel through your bloodstream, causing cysts to form inside organs such as your liver or kidneys. These ...

About 75% of the new diseases that have affected humans over the past 10 years have been caused by pathogens originating from an animal or from products of animal origin. Even though many of the zoonotic diseases have the means to spread over long distances and to become global problems, limited reliable qualitative and quantitative information on their burden is available at the moment. Cecilia Stroe, editor of IAHI, looks into those neglected zoonotic diseases which seem to have been almost forgotten, at least in terms of allocation of funding for research and collective action for control.. ...
Zoonotic diseases account for almost 60 percent of all disease among humans. Developing a multi-disciplinary look at disease in humans and animal gives us early warning on pending issues. MERS, SARS and PEDv are all corona viruses hence they model is very similar ways. In the links below, note the studies that clearly show PEDv and SARS are airborne dangers.. A Unified Framework for the Infection Dynamics of Zoonotic Spillover and Spread says that disentangling the contribution of animal-to-human from human-to-human transmission is of crucial importance to inform appropriate control measures. The shape of the cumulative number of occurrences can provide indications of the modes of transmission. A concave, saturating profile is an expected outcome due to depletion of susceptibles. In contrast, a convex region in the profile of cumulative number of occurrences suggests that human-to-human transmission plays an important role. Alternative explanations are possible. A convex shape in the cumulative ...

Zoonoses or zoonotic diseases are those which can be transmitted directly from animals to humans, infection that can be acquired indirectly from the environment by humans from animals, and diseases which have an animal reservoir, but require an arthropod (insect, mite, or tick) to transmit the disease to humans. Zoonoses or zoonotic diseases are all the diseases collectively as described above. A single disease, such as rabies, is called a zoonosis or zoonotic disease.

Vector-borne diseases have long been a problem for both animals and humans, causing some of the worst plagues of mankind, such as the Black Death in Europe in the 14th century and yellow fever epidemics in the Americas (Gubler 2009). The 20th century witnessed a steady decline in vector-borne diseases through the implementation of extensive vector control programmes, but the 21st century has witnessed the re-emergence of some of these diseases. This re-emergence has been presumed to be because of new global trends in animal husbandry, urbanisation, modern transportation and globalisation (Gubler 2009). Amongst the re-emerging vector-borne diseases are tick-borne diseases (Estrada-Peqa, Ayllon & De la Fuente 2012).. Ticks transmit a wide range of pathogens that include protozoa, bacteria and viruses (Kim et al. 2006). In their review on the prevalence, distribution and burden of neglected tropical diseases, Hotez and Kamath (2009) noted that there was lack of information on tick-borne zoonoses in ...

Zoonoses are infections or diseases that can be transmitted directly or indirectly between animals and humans, for instance by consuming contaminated foodstuffs or through contact with infected animals. The severity of these diseases in humans varies from mild symptoms to life-threatening conditions.. Food-borne zoonotic diseases are caused by consuming food or drinking water contaminated by pathogenic (disease-causing) micro-organisms such as bacteria and their toxins, viruses and parasites. They enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract where the first symptoms often occur. Many of these micro-organisms are commonly found in the intestines of healthy food-producing animals. The risks of contamination are present from farm to fork and require prevention and control throughout the food chain.. Food-borne zoonotic diseases are a significant and widespread global public health threat. In the European Union (EU), over 320,000 human cases are reported each year, but the real number is likely ...

For additional information on zoonotic disease, check out this link to Texas Department of State Health Services Zoonoses are diseases transmissible from animal to man, generally through direct contact with the animal or its body fluids or waste. With the exception of birds and the educational animals, most TWRC volunteers do not handle wildlife. While this minimizes the volunteers risk, it does not eliminate it. There is a limited risk of transmission for some zoonotic diseases through exposure to the animals waste or bodily fluids. It is always important to wash or sanitize your hands after such exposure. However, if a volunteer or rescuer does handle wildlife and happens to be bitten or scratched, it is important to know: What animal bit or scratched them When the event occurred And report the event to the local authorities This listing is not all inclusive of zoonotic diseases that you or your pets can be exposed to when coming in contact with wildlife. This list is intended to raise awareness
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Mar. 5, 2010) − Although it is rare for humans to pick up a disease from a horse, education on the subject is the best source of prevention, and the Saddle Up Safely campaign addresses diseases, clinical signs and professional advice in a new booklet on this topic. The five-year campaign is a unique collaboration of expertise and participation between University of Kentucky and community sponsors and partners, including the campaigns spokesperson, Kentuckys First Lady Jane Beshear. In addition to reducing the number and severity of riding injuries, it is also very important to understand how diseases of the horse can affect humans and how to prevent and respond to them, said First Lady Jane Beshear. This booklet lists potential zoonotic diseases that can be shared between horses and people and precautions that can be taken to reduce the chances of this occurring. Zoonotic diseases are defined as any disease that can be transferred from people to animal or animal to people. ...

This guidance is for England. A disaster is an event that exceeds local capacity to deal with it, whilst an emergency is an unforeseen or sudden occurrence that demands immediate action. An outbreak of a serious animal disease such as foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza or rabies may fit into the definitions of both a disaster and an emergency.. The effects of an outbreak can have serious implications in terms of movement restrictions and the killing of a large number of animals. There are also human impacts resulting from potential zoonotic diseases (for example, rabies) in terms of post-exposure management and supportive medical treatment.. The greater the likelihood and/or impact of a disaster or emergency, the greater the need for contingency planning.. What is contingency planning?. Contingency planning may be defined as a mechanism for anticipating and thereby proposing responses to unexpected and unintended events and emergencies. It is founded upon the risk and anticipation of ...

Zoonoses are defined by the World Health Organization as diseases and infections which are transmitted between vertebrate animals and man. Veterinary practitioners are often the first to address questions on possible transfer of disease from pets to owners who are their clients. The practitioner is expected to be the expert on site and provide accurate detailed information and solutions to problems. This challenging duty carries a great deal of responsibility and may also be associated with legal liability. The task of being knowledgeable about zoonoses is even more difficult when considering that the number of organisms known to cause zoonotic infections is greater than 250. Moreover, there is a constant flow of new data and information about these pathogens and newly discovered disease agents. Although human physicians are an important part of the network that should advise pet owners, they are often surprisingly ignorant about zoonoses which they consider to be rare and a relatively minor ...

British scientists say they have developed a model that can predict outbreaks of zoonotic diseases - those such as Ebola and Zika that jump from animals to humans - based on changes in climate.Describing their model as a major improvement in our understanding of the spread of diseases from animals to people, the researchers said it could help governments prepare for and respond to disease outbreaks, and to factor in their risk when making policies that might affect the environment.Our model can help decision-makers assess the likely impact (on zoonotic disease) of any interventions or change in national or international government policies, such as the conversion of grasslands to agricultural lands, said Kate Jones, a professor who co-led the study at University College Londons genetics, evolution and environment department.
Numerous novel episomal DNA-sequences related to single-stranded circular DNA viruses have been isolated from milk, bovine sera as well as from different human pathological biopsies (Funk et al.; Gunst et al.; Lamberto et al.; Whitley et al.; all Genome Announc. (2014) 2(4); Falida et al.; Genome Announc. (2017) 5(17)). The high degree of homology between isolates from milk, bovine sera and human tissue or serum points at the consumption of bovine meat or dairy products as potential route of transmission. The global epidemiology of some common cancers (e.g. colon and breast cancer) could suggest a zoonotic origin of these conditions (zur Hausen and de Villiers, 2015; zur Hausen, Bund and de Villiers, 2017 ...
In order to overcome these issues, non-human kidney transplantation is proposed as an alternative, including animal-to-human (xeno-) transplantation, 3D organ printing, organ regeneration, lab-grown organs etc. Major advancements are being achieved in these fields in preclinical context, making these futuristic approaches increasingly attractive for testing in clinical conditions.. In order to prep for the future, we need to start thinking about how these futuristic approaches will be tested and implemented as valid alternative for current human-to-human transplantation.

Compared to the virus that caused the SARS epidemic in the early 2000s, SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has evolved new strategies to bind to cell receptors, resulting in tighter binding. A new study identifies key mutations that potentially enabled the animal-to-human transmission of SARS-CoV-2. The study mapped out important binding sites on SARS-CoV-2 for antibody drugs to act on. If new drugs can bind to the sites on SARS-CoV-2, they will block the virus out of cells. Read More ...
2) As far as I know, there is no known virus that could infect all living things. To the contrary, vast majority of viruses are very host-specific and target cell-specific, and cannot normally cause disease in any other organisms. Some notable exceptions include viruses that cause the so-called zoonoses, which are animal diseases that can in some cases contract to humans (this can happen the other way round as well). However, viruses causing zoonoses are poorly designed to live in other organisms than their normal hosts and thus often cause too fulminant infections, sometimes even killing the new host. But considering the vast amount of virus species/strains there are, only a small fraction of them can cause cross-species infections ...
Gastrointestinal (GI) parasites include any parasites that live in the stomach or intestines of a host. A variety of GI parasites affect dogs and cats. They range from roundworms and tapeworms, which are visible with the naked eye, to microscopic organisms like coccidia and Giardia. Regardless of their size, GI parasites can cause serious illness and sometimes even death in pets. Some parasites are zoonotic, which means humans can become infected.. Read More ...

Based on the proximity of their habitat to the settlement, rats were classified as domestic, peridomestic, and sylvatic. Domestic rats are the most potent to transmit zoonotic diseases. Several studies report overlapping habitat on certain species as of transmission possibility between species in turn increase the number of reservoir species. This article purposes to criticize species domestication potency related to foraging and nesting behavior. The primary data were obtained from the rat survey result that was conducted in Banjarnegara district in 2017. The data were descriptively analyzed with the examination of the possibility of domestication phenomena on R. exulans, R. tiomanicus, and R. norvegicus species. The conclusion from this study is the rat domestication potency was relatively low on R. exulans and R. tiomanicus. Both species were good adapting with food resourced from humans food, however nesting behavior has become barriers to domestication. Rattus norvegicus has been long ...
