Article Synopsis
- Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI) is caused by restoring blood flow to heart tissue, leading to issues like oxidative stress and inflammation.
- This study explores the effects of stachyose, a natural compound, on MIRI, finding that it improves heart function and reduces damage in models of the condition.
- Stachyose works by enhancing protective pathways in heart cells and suppressing inflammatory responses in immune cells, suggesting it could be a promising treatment option for MIRI that needs further research.
Avian malaria is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium infection transmitted to birds by mosquitoes. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze the global prevalence of malaria and risk factors associated with infection in wild birds. A systematic search of the databases CNKI, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, and ScienceDirect was performed from database inception to 24 February 2023.

Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis
December 2023
Article Synopsis
- Tsutsugamushi disease, caused by a zoonotic intracellular pathogen, has recently spread across China, especially north of the Yangtze River, raising public health concerns.
- A meta-analysis of 55 studies indicated that the overall infection rate of this pathogen in rodents is 5.5%, with a notable decline in prevalence after 2013, and highlighted specific rodent species that show higher infection rates.
- Seasonal changes affect rodent infection rates, peaking in autumn, and geographical factors such as temperature, altitude, precipitation, and humidity significantly influence infection probabilities, suggesting a need for preventive measures.
Molecular Detection of spp. and Infection in Wild Rodents From Six Provinces in China.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
January 2022
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of zoonotic enteric pathogens in wild rodents across six provinces in China, specifically focusing on the prevalence of certain bacteria and their potential risk to human health.
- Out of 536 collected fecal samples, 11.6% tested positive for one pathogen and 3.4% for another, with varying prevalence rates across different regions.
- This research is significant as it confirms the existence of these pathogens in wild rodents and highlights their potential role as a source of human infection, offering new data on their distribution and genetic diversity.

is an enteric parasite, which can infect multiple mammals including livestock and wildlife. Tibetan Antelope () is one of the most famous wildlife species, that belongs to the first class protected wild animals in China. However, it has not been known whether Tibetan Antelope is infected with so far.

In this study, we identified a new orthonairovirus, Songling virus (SGLV), from patients who reported being bitten by ticks in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China. SGLV shared similar genomic and morphological features with orthonairoviruses and phylogenetically formed a unique clade in Tamdy orthonairovirus of the Nairoviridae family.

March 2020
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted in northern China to investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of a protozoan parasite found in domestic raccoon dogs, focusing on three provinces: Jilin, Liaoning, and Hebei.
- Out of 337 tissue samples taken, 16 (4.75%) tested positive for the parasite using a specific nested PCR technique, with further genetic analysis identifying two distinct genotypes (ToxoDB Genotype #9 and #10).
- The findings indicate that ToxoDB Genotype #9 is likely a primary reservoir for the parasite, highlighting potential risks for human infection related to these domestic raccoon dogs.
Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) in wild birds pose a pandemic threat to humans and to the poultry industry. To assess AIV and AIV antibody prevalence in wild birds in China, a systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Clinical Trial, VIP, CNKI, and WANFANG for published papers related to the prevalence of AIVs and their associated antibodies in wild birds in China from Mar.

The 62 sera samples of giant pandas, which were gathered from zoos and reserve region of Sichuan Province, China were detected. The neutralization antibody titer of 1:4 was recognized as the positive criterion, 8 sera samples were detected to be positive, and the positive rate was 12.
