Screening for Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium ulcerans in patients with upper respiratory tract infections 2007-2008: a multicentre European study [PDF]

, 2011
Diphtheria is now rare in most European countries but, when cases do arise, the case fatality rate is high (5–10%). Because few countries continue to routinely screen for the causative organisms of diphtheria, the extent to which they are circulating ...

Disease risks arising from the disposal of fish‐ and horse‐derived by‐products

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Animal by‐products are whole dead animals, parts of them and products obtained from them that are not used for human consumption. Legislation related to the utilization and disposal of animal by‐products was revised from the beginning of 2023, which limited the disposal of fish‐derived by‐products by burying or delivering them to a landfill in

Susceptibility of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis to selected antimicrobial agents

Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 2, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Caseous lymphadenitis is a chronic disease that affects small ruminant farms worldwide and causes economic losses to breeders. The disease is caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, which penetrates the lymph nodes of the host and induces the formation of abscesses. This bacterium is able to form a biofilm to protect itself

Environmental microbiome in the home and daycare settings during the COVID‐19 pandemic, and potential risk of non‐communicable disease in children

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2024.
Home dust samples contained higher microbial diversity with human‐associated taxa being prevalent than daycare samples where environmental taxa were more common. Several taxa detected in both the environments are known to induce immune responses, potentially conferring protection from various non‐communicable and infectious diseases among children ...

Zoonotic disease classification in wildlife: a theoretical framework for researchers

Mammal Review, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 63-77, January 2024.
Classification systems are useful tools for aggregating diseases to study them in more detail. However, the current systems are mainly designed for use in health care and fail to capture many details of zoonotic diseases. The goal of this study was to develop a framework for the classification of zoonotic diseases which can generate data useful to ...

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.

Detection and diphtheria toxin status of Corynebacterium ulcerans in canine and feline clinical specimens in Japan.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science
Corynebacterium ulcerans (C. ulcerans) is capable of producing diphtheria toxin and causing zoonotic diphtheria, with companion animals recognized as an important infection source. We evaluated the occurrence and diphtheria toxin status of C. ulcerans in
