Interspecies transmission of SARS CoV-2 with special emphasis on viral mutations and ACE-2 receptor homology roles. [PDF]
COVID-19 outbreak was first reported in 2019, Wuhan, China. The spillover of the disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), to a wide range of pet, zoo, wild, and farm animals has emphasized potential zoonotic and ...

Infection Studies with Airway Organoids from <i>Carollia perspicillata</i> Indicate That the Respiratory Epithelium Is Not a Barrier for Interspecies Transmission of Influenza Viruses. [PDF]
We developed an organoid culture system derived from the airways of the bat species Carollia perspicillata. Using this cell system, we showed that the airway epithelium of these bats is highly susceptible to infection by influenza viruses of other ...

Role of spike compensatory mutations in the interspecies transmission of SARS-CoV-2. [PDF]
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19 in humans, can efficiently infect a large number of animal species. Like any virus, and particularly RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 undergoes mutations during its life cycle some of which bring a selective ...

Association of poultry vaccination with interspecies transmission and molecular evolution of H5 subtype avian influenza virus. [PDF]
The effectiveness of poultry vaccination in preventing the transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (AIVs) has been debated, and its impact on wild birds remains uncertain.

Laboratory Diagnosis of Animal Tuberculosis in Tracing Interspecies Transmission of <i>Mycobacterium bovis</i>. [PDF]
Mycobacterium is one of the most dangerous pathogens of both animals and humans. Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is a disease caused by mycobacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), which spreads mainly among domestic cattle but also

Cases of Interspecies Transmission of Influenza A Virus from Swine to Humans. [PDF]
Simple Summary The particular susceptibility of pigs to infection with avian and mammalian influenza viruses allows them to be considered as a mixing vessel where reassortment occurs as a result of coinfection, which promotes the expansion of viral ...

Interspecies Transmission of CMY-2-Producing Escherichia coli Sequence Type 963 Isolates between Humans and Gulls in Australia. [PDF]
We have provided the first comprehensive genomic study of E. coli ST963 by analyzing various genomic and phenotypic data sets of isolates from Australian silver gulls and comparison with genomes from geographically dispersed regions of human and animal ...

Host diversity and behavior determine patterns of interspecies transmission and geographic diffusion of avian influenza A subtypes among North American wild reservoir species. [PDF]
Wild birds can carry avian influenza viruses (AIV), including those with pandemic or panzootic potential, long distances. Even though AIV has a broad host range, few studies account for host diversity when estimating AIV spread.
