Infectious zoonosis: risks linked to wildlife. The possibilities to be exposed to wildlife infectious disease agents, in Western Europe, are not so many but they do exist. They can be seen through two different contexts. Either they are linked to native free ranging wildlife species, either to exotic species raised as pets. In the first situation human beings are moving towards the sanitary danger, in the second situation, the danger is introduced at home. A few examples will illustrate these two situations.

Background: Cryptosporidium spp., Giardia duodenalis, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi are important zoonotic pathogens. In Inner Mongolia, a single pathogen molecular epidemiological survey of these three protozoa was previously conducted on only 176 fecal samples donkeys.

As countries strive for malaria elimination, it is crucial to gather sufficient evidence to confirm the absence of transmission. Routine surveillance data often lack the sensitivity to detect community transmission at low levels. In the Dominican Republic, community health workers (CHWs) have been deployed in malaria foci to perform active case detection.

Background: This study explores the opportunities and challenges associated with the One Health concept in China. Taking the practice of multi-sector health collaboration in China as an example, this study analyses the possible obstacles and opportunities.
Methods: From June to August 2023, 30 semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts from the Health Commission, Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, Department of Ecology and Environment, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Department of Transportation, Administration for Market Regulation, and other departments.

Background: Foreign migrant workers from malaria-endemic regions play a critical factor in the transmission of malaria to non-endemic areas, mainly due to their mobility while seeking employment opportunities. This risk is particularly heightened in areas where malaria vectors are present.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the malaria vectors in two sub-districts in Khon Kaen Province, known for their factory areas and the significant presence of Myanmar migrant worker communities.

Bats are natural hosts for many emerging viruses for which spillover to humans is a major risk, but the diversity and ecology of bat viruses is poorly understood. Here we generated 8,176 RNA viral metagenomes by metatranscriptomic sequencing of organ and swab samples from 4,143 bats representing 40 species across 52 locations in China. The resulting database, the BtCN-Virome, expands bat RNA virus diversity by over 3.
