spp. infection in small ruminants is usually asymptomatic or presents nonspecific clinical signs and has an economic impact on goat farming and public health. The aim of this study was to carry out a systematic review with meta-analysis on the global seroprevalence and distribution of leptospirosis in goats.

Escherichia coli is a zoonotic bacterium, and its resistance to antimicrobials has become an increasing problem in global health. This study aimed to determine the phenotypic and genotypic pooled prevalence of E. coli with antimicrobial resistance profiles in poultry through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Leptospira spp. infection is a worldwide zoonosis that causes economic losses to goat rearing, mainly due to reproductive disorders. Hence, the objective of this research was to determine the seroprevalence and associated risk factors of leptospirosis in a goat milk-producing region in the states of Paraiba and Pernambuco, Northeast Brazil.

The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a retrovirus of the Lentivirus genus, distributed worldwide, that causes persistent infection with a significant impact on the cats' health. Due to the importance of this infection in feline medicine, this pioneering study aimed to obtain an integrated estimate of the global seroprevalence of FIV in cats and to characterize the factors associated with this infection. Four electronic databases were screened for observational studies with FIV seroprevalence in cats published globally for this systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease that affects both human and animal health, with transmission influenced by the interactions among animals, humans, and the environment.
  • A systematic literature review and meta-analysis were conducted on non-human primates (NHPs) to assess leptospirosis, resulting in 32 relevant studies being analyzed, revealing that the main serogroup involved is Icterohaemorrhagiae, primarily hosted by rodents.
  • The study found a seroprevalence rate of 27.21% for leptospirosis in NHPs, highlighting significant variability among studies, and emphasizing the importance of further research to understand the role of NHPs as potential transmitters of the
