(BMC, 2023-02-04)
Background
Anthropogenic disturbance has the potential to negatively affect wildlife health by altering food availability and diet composition, increasing the exposure to agrochemicals, and intensifying ...
Tension pneumothorax in small odontocetes
(Inter Research, 2023-08-03)
Pneumothorax, the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity, occurs when air enters
the pleural space by the pleuro-cutaneous, pleuro-pulmonary, or pleuro-oesophageal-mediastinal
route. Tension ...
Transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 from humans to animals: is there a risk of novel reservoirs?
(Elsevier, 2023-10-02)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-
2) is a zoonotic virus able to infect humans and multiple

Novel Spike-stabilized trimers with improved production protect K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters from the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant
(Frontiers Media, 2023-12-04)
Most COVID-19 vaccines are based on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein (S) or
their subunits. However, S shows some structural instability that limits its
immunogenicity and production, hampering the ...
One Health Approach: Invasive California Kingsnake (Lampropeltis californiae) as an Important Source of Antimicrobial Drug-Resistant Salmonella Clones on Gran Canaria Island
(MDPI, 2023-05-28)
The increase in the reptile population has led to a rise in the number of zoonotic infections due to close contact with reptiles, with reptile-associated salmonellosis being particularly relevant. ...

Genetic diversification patterns in swine influenza A virus (H1N2) in vaccinated and nonvaccinated animals
(Frontiers Media, 2023-09-15)
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) are characterized by having a segmented genome, low
proofreading polymerases, and a wide host range. Consequently, IAVs are
constantly evolving in nature causing a threat ...
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRSV2) Viral Diversity within a Farrow-to-Wean Farm Cohort Study
(MDPI, 2023-08-30)
Describing PRRSV whole-genome viral diversity data over time within the host and withinfarm is crucial for a better understanding of viral evolution and its implications. A cohort study was
conducted ...
