Enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) is a common pathotype of that causes numerous outbreaks of foodborne illnesses. EHEC is a zoonotic pathogen that is transmitted from animals to humans. Ruminants, particularly cattle, are considered important reservoirs for virulent EHEC strains.

Chlamydias are zoonotic pathogens, broadly present in several bird species and responsible for economic losses in animal production. Our study focused on assessing the prevalence of Chlamydial species posing zoonotic risks in farm animals within the highly biodiverse Argentine, Brazil, and Paraguay tri-border area, characterized by significant human interaction. We surveyed nine farms in an area and nasally swabbed a total of 62 animals, that included cattle, horses and pigs.

Background: Coxiella burnetii is the etiological agent of Q fever in humans, a zoonosis of increasingly important public health concern. The disease results in significant economic losses to livestock farmers and its presence in ready-to-eat dairy products poses a public health threat to consumers.
Aim: This study aimed to detect Coxiella burnetii in dairy products in Kwara State, Nigeria.

Following its discovery as an adaptive immune system in prokaryotes, the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system has been developed into a multifaceted genome editing tool. This review compiles findings aimed at implementation of this technology for selective elimination or attenuation of enterohemorrhagic (EHEC). EHEC are important zoonotic foodborne pathogens that cause hemorrhagic colitis and can progress to the life-threatening hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).
