Survey of antimicrobial and probiotic use practices in wildlife rehabilitation in the United States.

Antimicrobial resistance is a global health concern. As such, there have been increased efforts to monitor and standardize antimicrobial prescribing practices in humans and domestic animals. In contrast, there is relatively little known about specific prescribing practices in wild animals despite the wide use of antimicrobials and other microbial interventions, such as probiotics to treat captive wildlife.

Essential Oils in Nellore Beef Cattle: In Vivo Impact on Rumen Emissions.

Essential oils (EOs), as rumen additives, decreased CH emissions in in vitro trials but results from in vivo studies are still limited. We investigated the effects of (OEO) and (TEO) EOs on in vivo methane emissions from Nellore beef cattle. Six adult rumen-cannulated Nellore cattle were used in a double 3 × 3 Latin square design.

Surveillance for highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) in a raptor rehabilitation center-2022.

An ongoing, severe outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAI) A H5N1 clade 2.3.4.

Biodegradation, photolysis, and sorption of antibiotics in aquatic environments: A scoping review.

The presence of antibiotics in surface waters is a potential driver of antibiotic resistance and thus of concern to human and environmental health. Key factors driving the potential impact of antibiotics are their persistence and transport in rivers and lakes. The goal of this study was to describe the peer-reviewed published literature on the photolysis (direct and indirect), sorption, and biodegradation of a selected group of antibiotic compounds following a scoping review methodology.

Spatial analysis of the epidemiological risk of leprosy in the municipalities of Minas Gerais.

Background: Leprosy remains a significant public health problem of high importance. This investigation aims to analyze the spatial distribution of the leprosy epidemiological risk in the municipalities of Minas Gerais.

Methods: This ecological study was conducted with new leprosy cases diagnosed from 2004 to 2019 in the municipalities of the state of Minas Gerais.
