Article Synopsis
  • Scientists study how viruses and their animal hosts have changed together over time and how they can jump from animals to humans.
  • They used special models to see which newly found viruses from wildlife might be able to infect people, focusing on high-risk areas in Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
  • The research shows that new coronaviruses might infect more types of animals compared to other viruses, helping to figure out where to look for potential outbreaks in humans.

Article Synopsis
  • The USAID's PREDICT project is working to improve how we prevent and control diseases that can spread between animals and people.
  • They want to understand the risky behaviors of communities that live near animals and nature, to better detect and respond to potential diseases.
  • Researchers talked to people in high-risk jobs to learn what they think about the dangers of their work, finding that many don't see their activities as risky, which could make disease spread more likely.

Infections caused by non-typhoidal (NTS) are common around the world, with high morbidity and mortality rates recorded annually. serovars harbor plasmids of various sizes which may play roles in antibiotic resistance and virulence. The aim of this study was to profile and determine the role of plasmids in ciprofloxacin resistance and virulence of serovars.

Purpose: Molecular epidemiological investigations of the highly clonal Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) are important in outbreak detection and in tracking disease transmission. In this study, we developed and evaluated a multiple-locus variable-number tandem-repeats (VNTR) analysis (MLVA) assay for characterization of S.
