Research
Salmonellosis prevention should focus on safe animal contact as well as food safety.
Avoiding or limiting contact with swine at agricultural events may help prevent A(H3N2)v virus infections in such settings.
Close contact between pigs and humans could result in zoonotic transmission.
Competence data will aid understanding of the spread of human babesiosis.
On-site testing would diminish time, costs, and risks involved in handling of highly infectious materials.
Physicians should consider infections with these bacteria in patients who may have been bitten by bat ticks.
Viruses related to human hepatitis C virus infect horses in the United Kingdom without evidence of hepatic or other systemic disease.
Nipah virus infection in humans is associated with a higher death rate in Bangladesh than in Malaysia. Additionally, Nipah virus spreads from person to person in Bangladesh but not in Malaysia. To investigate why these differences occur, researchers looked for differences in the virus strains from each country. In experimentally infected ferrets, they examined which tissues each strain infected and how each strain was excreted from the body. They found higher concentrations of the Bangladesh strain in secretions from the mouth. Increased oral excretion of the Bangladesh strain in humans might explain why person-to-person transmission of Nipah virus occurs in that region.
YN strain shows severe pathogenicity in chickens.
