Global distribution and contexts of interactions between humans and non‐human primates: A systematic review

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding the frequency and socio‐ecological drivers of contacts between humans and non‐human primates (NHPs) is crucial for enhancing coexistence that favours NHP conservation, while limiting negative consequences such as aggressions and cross‐species disease transmission.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Gastric Kaposi Sarcoma With Distinct "Lobster-Like" Endoscopic Lesions in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Positive Patient. [PDF]

DEN Open
ABSTRACT Kaposi Sarcoma (KS) is a rare vascular tumor linked to Human Herpesvirus‐8 (HHV‐8) infection, most often affecting immunocompromised patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS). Gastrointestinal KS (GI‐KS) is frequently underdiagnosed, particularly in resource‐limited settings, and may present with ...

Relationships Between European Wildcats and Domestic Cats in an Area of Sympatry: Exploring Key Conservation Questions on Hybridization and Disease Transmission

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We have found evidence of behavioural barriers for both hybridization and disease transmission between European wildcats and domestic cats. This includes hierarchical interspecies exclusion enforced by wildcats, as well as sexual selection exerted by wildcat females.

Diagnosis of human herpes virus 1 and 2 (HHV-1 and HHV-2): use of a synthetic standard curve for absolute quantification by real time polymerase chain reaction

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz
The use of quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) for herpesvirus detection has improved the sensitivity and specificity of diagnosis, as it is able to detect shedding episodes in the absence of clinical lesions and diagnose clinical ...

Varicellovirus UL 49.5 proteins differentially affect the function of the transporter associated with antigen processing, TAP [PDF]

, 2008
Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes play an important role in the protection against viral infections, which they detect through the recognition of virus-derived peptides, presented in the context of MHC class I molecules at the surface of the infected cell.

Screening donors for xenotransplantation: The potential for xenozoonoses [PDF]

, 1994
Xenotransplantation is a potential solution to the current donor shortage for solid organ transplantation. The transmission of infectious agents from donor organs or bone marrow to the recipient is a well-recognized phenomenon following ...

Single‐dose Pasteurella multocida and Histophilus somni autogenous vaccines administered at induction significantly improved feedlot cattle performance and profitability in Australia

Australian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Background Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most economically important disease affecting feedlot cattle. While viral pathogens are initiating agents, bacterial coinfections exacerbate disease severity. Vaccines for Pasteurella multocida and Histophilus somni are not commercially available in Australia.

Use of Staged Molecular Analysis to Determine Causes of Unexplained Central Nervous System Infections

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
No agent is implicated in most central nervous system (CNS) infections. To investigate cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with CNS infections of unknown cause in 1 hospital in Taiwan, we used a staged molecular approach, incorporating techniques ...

A systematic review of the impact of psychosocial factors on immunity: Implications for enhancing BCG response against tuberculosis. [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains an urgent global public health priority, causing 1.5 million deaths worldwide in 2018. There is evidence that psychosocial factors modulate immune function; however, how this may influence TB risk or BCG vaccine ...
