Several infectious agents are considered to be causes of cancer in human, mainly hepatitis B and C viruses, high-risk human pailloma viruses, Helicobacter pylori, Clonorchis sinensis, and Opisthorchis viverrini. Here we described the evident research and the association between Helicobacter spp. and biliary tract cancer particularly cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Global epidemiological studies have suggested that Helicobacter spp. are possible risk factors for biliary tract diseases. Molecular studies support a linkage of Helicobacter spp. with CCA development. H. pylori, H. bilis, and H. hepaticus, are found in CCA, but the most common species are H. pylori and H. bilis. The type of CCA are associated with Helicobacter spp. include extrahepatic CCA, and common bile duct cancer. Up to the present, however, the results from different regions, materials and methods, sub-sites of cancer, and controls have not been consistent, thus introducing heterogeneity. Therefore, a comparison between co-Helicobacter spp.-CCA in the countries with low and high incident of CCA is required to settle the question. Furthermore, clarifying variation in the role of Helicobacter species in this CCA, including pathogenesis of CCA through enhanced biliary cell inflammation and proliferation, is necessary.

Disinfectant application to gloved hands before handling SPF mice is standard practice to minimize transmission of pathogens and microbial contamination between cages. The risk of contamination with murine pathogens on gloves as well as the efficacy of disinfectant application for this step is largely unknown. This study aimed to determine if murine norovirus (MNV), Helicobacter spp.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the presence of Helicobacter species, specifically H. pylori and "Candidatus H. bovis," in the abomasum of dairy cattle and sheep in Northern Italy, focusing on their potential role in gastric diseases.
- Out of 25 dairy cows and 24 sheep examined, 96% of the bovine samples and 42% of the ovine samples tested positive for Helicobacteraceae, with "Candidatus H. bovis" found predominantly in the bovine pyloric mucosa.
- The findings suggest that "Candidatus H. bovis" is common in cattle but not linked to inflammation, indicating a specific adaptation to bovine hosts, and the potential for cattle and sheep

Helicobacter pylori, a pathogenic bacterium responsible for multiple gastrointestinal disorders, has emerged as a major global concern due to rise in antibiotic resistance. Unwanted side effects of antibiotics therapy are further complicating the treatment strategies. Consequently, an alternative approach, using probiotics has emerged as a promising solution for treating H.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 531 saliva samples were analyzed from two Tribal Nation festivals and compared with 453 samples previously collected in the Midwest, employing logistic and linear regression models.
- * Results indicated varying seroprevalences of specific infections, with higher antibody responses to certain noroviruses and unique associations between lifestyle factors (like water consumption and animal contact) and infection rates in the Tribal populations.
