Article Synopsis
- Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a tick-borne disease caused by Dabie bandavirus, first reported in Thailand in 2019.
- The study highlights a One Health investigation, revealing that domestic dogs and cats may act as potential reservoirs for the virus, while no SFTSV was found in local ticks or wild animals.
- The authors emphasize the need for integrated surveillance using genomic and serologic methods to better understand SFTS and prevent its spread among humans and animals in East Asia.
Multi-locus sequence analysis of 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' in free-ranging macaques from Thailand suggestive of a closer relationship to hemotropic mycoplasmas in capuchins and potential origin from bats.

Although 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haematomacacae' (formerly known as 'Candidatus Mycoplasma haemomacaque') has been reported on extensively in macaques from Thailand, the USA, Japan, and Brazil, its genetic characterization has primarily been restricted to the 16S rRNA sequences with no exploration on multi-locus sequence analysis. The primary goal of this study was to characterize 'Ca. M.

- Chlamydia sp. infections were found in 65% of juvenile Siamese crocodiles across 40 farms in Thailand, highlighting a significant health threat.
- Factors contributing to these infections included poor water management, reusing treated wastewater, and improper food disposal practices.
- Cloacal swabs proved to be the most effective method for detecting the bacteria, and improving farm management and biosecurity measures could help mitigate the risk.

However, control and elimination of the last remaining pockets of dog-mediated rabies have shown to be burdensome, predominantly as a result of the large numbers of free-roaming dogs without an owner that cannot be restrained without special efforts and therefore remain unvaccinated. To reach these dogs, the feasibility, and benefits of oral rabies vaccination (ORV) as a complementary tool has been examined under field conditions.

Leptospires were recovered from a kidney sample (a fatal canine leptospirosis case) and from all the soil samples. Next, 16S rRNA sequence analysis demonstrated that the clinical isolate was closely related to the pathogenic L.
