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.

Beyond diphtheria toxin: cytotoxic proteins of Corynebacterium ulcerans and Corynebacterium diphtheriae

Microbiology, 2019
Diphtheria toxin is one of the best investigated bacterial toxins and the major virulence factor of toxigenic Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Corynebacterium ulcerans strains. However, also diphtheria toxin-free strains of these two species can cause severe infections in animals and humans, indicating the presence of additional virulence factors.

Taxonomic classification of strain PO100/5 shows a broader geographic distribution and genetic markers of the recently described Corynebacterium silvaticum.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The bacterial strain PO100/5 was isolated from a skin abscess taken from a pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) in the Alentejo region of southern Portugal. It was identified as Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis using biochemical tests, multiplex PCR and Pulsed ...
