Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus pseudintermedius isolated from humans and pets – a comparison of drug resistance and risk factors associated with colonisation

Journal of Veterinary Research
Staphylococci commonly colonise the skin and mucous membranes of humans and animals, the close contact between which may promote interspecies transmission of these microorganisms and determinants of drug resistance.

Dispersal and Transmission of Avian Paramyxovirus Serotype 4 among Wild Birds and Domestic Poultry

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Avian paramyxovirus serotype 4 (APMV-4) is found sporadically in wild birds worldwide, and it is an economically important poultry pathogen. Despite the existence of several published strains, very little is known about the distribution, host species ...

Carbon‐Fixing Bacterial Network Complexity Mediates Soil Multifunctionality in a Panax notoginseng‐Pinus armandii Agroforestry System

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autotrophic carbon‐fixing bacteria (CFB) are central contributors to soil carbon sequestration and biogeochemical carbon cycling in agroforestry ecosystems and can act as reliable biological indicators for evaluating agroforestry ecosystem sustainability.

Correlating Pulmonary Hemodynamics With HP 129Xe Dissolved‐Phase MRSI in a Controlled Porcine Intervention Study

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Pulmonary hypertension is related to a 1‐year mortality ranging from < 5% to > 20% in low‐ and high‐risk groups. Right heart catheterization is the diagnostic gold standard, associated with a 1.1% rate of severe adverse events, posing the need for a non‐invasive diagnostic tool.

Detection of fowl adenovirus D strains in wild birds in Poland by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP)

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background The present study on the role of strains of adenovirus in wildlife reservoirs, and their prevalence is under exploration. In several previous studies, the presence of adenovirus strains in wild birds has been investigated.

Past, present and future of local crop evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Promoting agrobiodiversity is a promising strategy for mitigating the negative effects of climate change on global food security. We highlight the central role evolutionary processes play in harnessing the potential of local crops by integrating genomics, archaeology, ethnobotany and traditional ecological knowledge (TEK).

Simian Foamy Virus Transmission from Apes to Humans, Rural Cameroon

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2007
Simian virus infections of humans are an increasing public health concern. Simian foamy virus (SFV) infections have been reported in persons occupationally exposed to nonhuman primates and in a few hunters in Cameroon.

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.
