Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E) in horses at a Finnish equine hospital, finding a low prevalence of 3% among the 161 horses screened.
- - Despite the low prevalence, a borderline significant association was noted with antimicrobial treatment within the past three months, although no other risk factors were conclusively identified.
- - Follow-up showed that horses previously positive for ESBL-E were unlikely to continue carrying these bacteria, suggesting they don't persist long in the equine population.
Background: This study aimed to determine the factors that promote and facilitate rehabilitation as well as challenges and possible barriers perceived by people with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Materials And Methods: This study was part of a larger, mixed-method Finnish Spinal Cord Injury (FinSCI) study. We interviewed 45 persons with SCI representing participants from the FinSCI study and used a qualitative approach and a deductive-inductive content analysis to analyse the data.
Parapoxviruses (PPV) cause skin and mucous membrane lesions in several animal species, and of the five recognized PPVs, at least three are zoonotic. Equine PPV (EqPPV) is the sixth one initially described in humans in the United States and later in a severely sick horse in Finland in 2013-2015. In 2021-2022, a large-scale pustulo-vesicular pastern dermatitis outbreak occurred in horses all over Finland.

Objectives: To characterize clinical and pathologic features of follicular cystitis in dogs and to explore in situ distribution and possible role of Escherichia coli as an associated cause.
Animals: Eight dogs diagnosed with follicular cystitis and 2 control dogs.

Objectives: The occurrence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria in poultry poses the public health threat of zoonotic transmission to humans. Hence, this study assessed the occurrence of drug-resistant Escherichia coli in broilers in the largest live bird market in Kwara State, Nigeria in December 2020.
