Evaluation of alternative methods of tunnel composting (submitted by the European Composting Network) II

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract Two alternative methods for producing compost in a tunnel, from certain category (Cat.) 3 animal by‐products (ABP) and other non‐ABP material, were assessed. The first method proposed a minimum temperature of 55°C for 72 h and the second 60°C for 48 h, both with a maximum particle size of 200 mm.

Integration of Planova filters in manufacturing processes of biologicals improve the virus safety effectively: A review of publicly available data

Biotechnology Progress, Volume 40, Issue 1, January/February 2024.
Abstract The capacity to remove viruses by Planova filters produced by Asahi Kasei, primarily by small virus‐retentive filters, were compiled from data in peer‐reviewed publications and, partly, publicly available data from presentations at conferences (Planova workshops).

Infectious Causation of Abnormal Host Behavior: Toxoplasma gondii and Its Potential Association With Dopey Fox Syndrome

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, can infect all warm-blooded animals. T. gondii can subtly alter host behaviors—either through manipulation to enhance transmission to the feline definitive host or as a ...

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2024.
Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

High Prevalence of a Novel Circovirus in the European Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), a Common Species in Decline

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus) declines in western Europe have been associated with the emergence of Hedgehog diphtheric disease (HDD), with a probable multifactorial, yet unidentified etiology. We used metagenomic sequencing of cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) in hedgehog blood to identify possible causes of HDD.

Molecular Detection of Viral and Bacterial Pathogens in Red Foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Italy

Animals
Animals, including wildlife, are part of One-Health concept since many infectious diseases can affect both humans and animals. In this study, 126 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) from Northern Italy in 2022–2023 were tested by molecular assays for ...

Untapped potential of wastewater for animal and potentially zoonotic virus surveillance: Pilot study to detect non-human animal viruses in urban settings

Environment International
Introduction: Wastewater surveillance has become an essential tool for monitoring viral outbreaks and surveillance of human viruses. While PCR-based methods are most frequently used, more advanced techniques, such as shotgun metagenomics in combination ...
