Objective: Emergence of colistin-resistant (CREC) has generated a sense of public alarm. The objective of this study was to detect the CREC and identification of the gene responsible for such resistance.
Materials And Methods: A total of 150 samples comprising poultry cloacal swab, house flies (), and pond water were collected randomly from Mymensingh, Bangladesh and analyzed. Isolation and identification of were done based on culture and 16S rRNA gene-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Phenotypic detection of CREC was done by disk diffusion method. Finally, colistin resistance genes were detected by PCR by using colistin resistant gene specific primers.
Results: Among the 150 samples, phenotypically 18.00% ( = 27/150) isolates were found as colistin resistant. By PCR, 8.00% of the isolates were found positive for the presence of gene.
Conclusions: Colistin resistant carrying are detected in poultry, house flies and water that are of great public health concern.

Mosquitoes from the Culex pipiens complex are found worldwide and have been the focus of numerous studies due to their role as vectors of human pathogens. We investigated the population genetic structure of Cx. pipiens s.

Background: In recent years, cases of leishmaniosis have been described in animals housed in captivity in zoos in Spain [Bennett's wallaby (Macropus rufogriseus rufogriseus), orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygameus), and European otter (Lutra lutra)]. Some of these zoological parks are in endemic areas for both human and animal leishmaniosis, thus it should be very important to include this zoonosis in the differential diagnosis.
Methods: The study was carried out in two zoological parks in Madrid, Madrid Zoo and Faunia, and analyzed seven meerkats.

Culex quinquefasciatus is a widely spread mosquito species that poses a significant public health threat in many countries. This insect vector is present in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), yet no studies have been conducted on its resistance to any insecticide group. Research shows that controlling mosquitoes is crucial to eliminating mosquito-borne diseases, but when these vectors develop insecticide resistance, the situation can escalate dangerously out of control.

The house fly, Musca domestica, L. (Diptera: Muscidae), is a filth fly that is often associated with criminal and civil investigations surrounding abuse, neglect, and death of humans and other vertebrates. However, development data, which are crucial for determining the age of immatures collected under forensically relevant circumstances, are limited.
