is an emerging environmental pathogen that causes life-threatening infection in humans and animals. In October 2017, a Bangladeshi farmer was hospitalized with high-grade fever due to an agricultural injury-related wound infection. Bacteriological and 16S rRNA gene investigation detected in the wound discharge. The patient recovered successfully after a combination treatment with meropenem and ciprofloxacin, followed by prolonged medication to avoid recurrence. We strongly propose to incorporate in the differential diagnosis of wound and skin infections occurring in tropical and subtropical regions, especially when the injury was exposed to soil or sluggish water.

Agribio, Agriculture Victoria Research, Bundoora, Australia.
Colibacillosis caused by avian pathogenic (APEC) is causing economic losses to the global poultry industry. Increased prevalence of antibiotic resistance in APEC is the leading cause for increased indiscriminate use of various antimicrobial compounds in farms. The study aimed to investigate the presence of phenotypic and genotypic markers for antibiotic resistance, metals, and biocides in APEC from Bangladeshi poultry and details about the antimicrobials used in poultry farms.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the prevalence of intestinal parasites and Helicobacter pylori coinfection among patients with gastrointestinal symptoms at Addis Zemen Primary Hospital in Ethiopia.
- Conducted between April and July 2023, the study found that 18% of participants had intestinal parasites, while 12% tested positive for Helicobacter pylori, with 5.5% experiencing coinfection.
- Key risk factors for coinfection included drinking surface water, having a family history of Helicobacter pylori, and having untrimmed fingers, highlighting public health concerns in the region.
Caprine arthritis and encephalitis virus infection in goats of Bangladesh: Serological detection and its associated risk factors.

Goat Production Research Division, Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute, Savar, Dhaka 1341, Bangladesh.
Background And Aim: Caprine arthritis and encephalitis (CAE) is a multisystemic persistent viral disease of goat that causes significant economic losses to the farmers and livestock sector. However, no information in this country is available regarding CAE virus (CAEV) infection. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the seroprevalence of CAEV infection among the goat population in the selected goat-prone districts in Bangladesh and to identify the associated risk factors of the disease.

Introduction: Compared to smoking, which has major consequences in chronic kidney disease (CKD) initiation and progression, smokeless tobacco (SLT) consumption is considered to have fewer health consequences. We investigated the prevalence of SLT consumption and its association with risk factors of CKD in a rural and peri-urban Bangladeshi population.
Methods: Using random sampling we recruited 872 adults in 2020, from the Mirzapur Demographic Surveillance System of Bangladesh, who had resided in the area for at least five years.
