Retrospective Cross‐Sectional Study of Occupational Infection Risk With Zoonotic Pathogens in Austrian Veterinary Practitioners in the Year 2022

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
• Vaccination rates against rabies and TBEV and accordingly the respective seroprevalence rates exceed 90% among Austrian veterinary practitioners. • The prevalence of antibodies against HEV and the colonisation with MRSA increases with the age of the study participants from 6.2%/6.2% in the youngest age group to 23.3%/21.9% in the oldest group. • MRSA

Ultrasound identification of hepatic echinococcosis using a deep convolutional neural network model in China: a retrospective, large-scale, multicentre, diagnostic accuracy study

The Lancet: Digital Health, 2023
Summary: Background: Ultrasonography is the most widely used technique to diagnose echinococcosis; however, challenges in using this technique and the demand on medical resources, especially in low-income or remote areas, can delay diagnosis.
