In January 2002, an outbreak of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 infections occured on 'Asirat', an oil tanker, during its return test voyage from Split, Croatia to Trieste, Italy. Of the 120 crewmembers and workers 22 (18%) suffered from gastrointestinal symptoms. In 17 patients Y. enterocolitica O:3 was isolated from stool samples. All available food and water samples were negative and the source of infection was not determined. Probably a foodborne transmission was involved, although person to person transmission could not be excluded.

Yersiniosis due to can be associated with high morbidity and mortality in various species and has been a cosmopolitan management challenge in zoological institutions. This gram-negative, environmental bacterium thrives in cold, wet conditions and poses a risk to zoo species. Outbreaks can be costly and impact conservation efforts through loss of threatened and endangered species.

Article Synopsis
- This study uses dynamic modeling to analyze the transmission of pneumonic plague in Hong Kong from 1902 to 1904, focusing on how human, flea, and rodent populations interact.
- By examining historical data and developing epidemic metrics like reproduction numbers, the research reveals key factors driving outbreaks, such as flea lifespan and rodent populations.
- The findings suggest that effective public health strategies should focus on controlling flea and rodent vectors to help prevent future outbreaks and improve overall disease management.

Dog bites are a source of zoonotic infections to humans, such as pasteurellosis and meningitis. Zoonotic bacterial identification and their antibiotic susceptibility assessment are key towards the successful management of such infections. This study isolated and identified zoonotic bacterial species from the oral cavities of indigenous dogs and also determined their antibiotic susceptibility profile.

Key statistics on zoonoses and zoonotic agents in humans, food, animals and feed are provided and interpreted historically. In 2023, the first and second most reported zoonoses in humans were campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis, respectively.
