Pasteurella multocida has been reported to cause peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis after a cat bite or scratch to the catheter. We report a teenager with hamster bite peritonitis caused by P. aerogenes, an organism predominantly isolated from swine.

Center for Biosustainability, Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, Denmark.
Article Synopsis
- * Producing oligoclonal antibodies in a single batch is more cost-effective than making multiple individual monoclonal antibody batches, making the manufacturing process more efficient.
- * The study successfully created a stable oligoclonal antibody mixture targeting toxins from various elapid snake venoms, demonstrating a viable strategy for producing tailored antivenoms for snakebites and potentially other medical applications.

Leishmaniasis, a disease of global relevance, results from infection with the protozoan parasite, , which is transmitted to susceptible hosts through the bite of sand flies. Multiple forms of leishmaniasis may occur, including cutaneous, mucocutaneous, and visceral. Research with animal models remains an important approach to help define basic pathophysi- ologic processes associated with infection and disease.

Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM) is a "neglected" rodent-borne viral zoonotic disease caused by lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) (family Arenaviridae). The aim of this retrospective clinical and laboratory study was to detect LCMV RNA, using RT-PCR, in cerebrospinal fluid samples collected from patients with central nervous system (CNS) infections of unknown aetiology from over a 12-year period in Hungary. Between 2009 and 2020, a total of 74 cerebrospinal fluid samples were tested using an in-house LCMV-specific RT-PCR-based method at the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, University of Pécs.

Background: Animal allergies are common, with reactions ranging from rhinoconjunctivitis from respiratory exposure to anaphylaxis, usually from animal bites. Since animal bites are also common, this raises the question of how often anaphylaxis occurs following a bite.
Materials And Methods: A PubMed, Google, and Google Scholar literature review was performed using keywords such as animal bite anaphylaxis.
