Published: December 2024

Enteric hepatitis, represented by the hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV), remains a significant global public health concern. While much progress has been made, many aspects of the biology and pathophysiology of HAV and HEV are still not fully understood. One of the major challenges is the absence of a reliable system for virus replication. Additionally, the lack of standardized and widely accessible diagnostic tests contributes to the underestimation of the true prevalence of these viruses. Factors such as climate change, environmental shifts, globalization and increased population mobility further complicate the spread of these infections by affecting pathogen transmission, water quality and the distribution of vectors. This review approaches the emergent research challenges and trends of enteric hepatitis and focuses on developing more efficient diagnostic tools, exploring the role of zoonotic transmission and addressing the impact of environmental and climate changes on disease dynamics, underscoring the need for collaborative, interdisciplinary efforts to effectively combat enteric hepatitis in a rapidly changing world.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are typically associated with mild respiratory illnesses, although severe disease and outbreaks in congregate settings occur. The National Adenovirus Type Reporting System (NATRS) is a passive, laboratory-based surveillance system that monitors trends in circulation of HAdV types in the United States. This report summarizes the distribution of HAdV types reported to NATRS during 2017-2023.

Novel zoonotic and genotypes in domestic pigeons () in Iran: Public health implications.

Curr Res Parasitol Vector Borne Dis

Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Bari, Valenzano, Bari, 70010, Italy.

To determine the occurrence of microsporidiosis in domestic pigeons in Iran, privately-owned pigeons presenting weight loss and diarrhea were tested through molecular and histopathological methods. Multiplex-PCR findings showed 57%, 30%, and 14% positivity for , , and mixed infection in the fecal samples, respectively. A novel genotype, named IrnEb1, falling into zoonotic group 1 of , and a novel genotype of , named Irn2E, clustering as a sister taxon to genotype 2B were identified in pigeons for the first time using Sanger sequencing and phylogenetic analyses.

Duck adeno-associated Virus (DAAV) is a novel pathogen that was recently discovered in ducks. To establish a molecular detection assay for DAAV for further epidemiological investigation and pathogenic mechanism. Here, we designed specific primers and probes according to the sequence characteristics of the newly discovered DAAV and then established a TaqMan real-time PCR method (TaqMan-qPCR) for the detection of DAAV.
