AI Article Synopsis
- Recent studies have found that peridomestic mammals, which are animals living close to human habitats, are naturally exposed to influenza A viruses (IAVs).
- These mammals can replicate various strains of IAVs, including those that pose significant risks to public health and agriculture.
- The chapter will discuss the relationship between peridomestic mammals and IAVs, particularly avian strains, and offer guidelines for studying these species.
Article Abstract
During recent years, serological evidence has shown that a number of peridomestic mammals (e.g., those commonly found in or around human structures) are naturally exposed to influenza A viruses (IAVs). In addition, experimental studies have demonstrated that many of these species can successfully replicate several different IAVs, including IAVs of high consequence to public or agricultural health. The replication of some IAVs within this group of mammals could have implications for biosecurity associated with poultry production and live bird markets in some regions of the world. Given this evidence, the need for further study and understanding of the role that peridomestic mammals may play in IAV dynamics is increasingly being recognized. This chapter will provide a general overview on IAV associations in peridomestic mammals, especially as they pertain to avian IAVs, and provide some general views and guidelines for sampling these species in various situations.

Background: Visceral leishmaniosis (VL) is the most severe form of human leishmaniosis, with an estimated 95% case fatality if left untreated. Dogs act as peridomestic reservoir hosts for the protozoan parasite Leishmania infantum, a causative agent for human leishmaniosis, endemic throughout the Mediterranean basin. To assure consistent and accurate surveillance of canine infection and prevent transmission to people, consistent diagnosis of canine L.

Wesselsbron virus (WSLV) is a zoonotic, mosquito-borne orthoflavivirus endemic to sub-Saharan Africa, causing abortions and stillbirths in small ruminants. The life cycle of WSLV involves Aedes mosquitoes and various wildlife and domestic animals. Seminal studies in the 1950s have shown the zoonotic potential of WSLV, notably in accidental infections of laboratory workers exposed to infected material.

Article Synopsis
- In 1899, Paraguay and Buenos Aires experienced the onset of the third plague pandemic, which gradually advanced into the Argentinian interior over the early 20th century.
- Argentine bacteriologists emerged as key figures in recognizing and managing the plague, impacting both scientific development and public health strategies in Argentina and South America.
- The study delineates two phases of plague as a scientific and political issue: initially focused on urban port areas and later revealing its rural aspects, demonstrating Argentina's role in the global discourse on bacteriology.
Assessing the ecological patterns of Aedes aegypti in areas with high arboviral risks in the large city of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Article Synopsis
- The city of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire is facing increasing outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and yellow fever between 2017 and 2024.
- Researchers studied Aedes mosquito populations and breeding sites in different urban areas to understand the effects of varying infection rates.
- They found that Aedes aegypti predominated in mosquito populations and that many breeding sites, such as discarded containers, exceeded international epidemic thresholds, indicating significant risks for disease transmission.

Background: Understanding movement patterns of rodent pests is essential for planning management strategies. Currently, for many rural village contexts, there is limited information on how rodents move between domestic and peridomestic areas, and the surrounding habitats. We investigated movement of the multimammate rat, Mastomys natalensis and the black rat, Rattus rattus in nine villages in Kilombero District, Tanzania.
