Interspecies interactions and potential Influenza A virus risk in small swine farms in Peru

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2012
Background The recent avian influenza epidemic in Asia and the H1N1 pandemic demonstrated that influenza A viruses pose a threat to global public health. The animal origins of the viruses confirmed the potential for interspecies transmission.

Scoring Amino Acid Mutations to Predict Avian-to-Human Transmission of Avian Influenza Viruses

Molecules, 2018
Avian influenza virus (AIV) can directly cross species barriers and infect humans with high fatality. Using machine learning methods, the present paper scores the amino acid mutations and predicts interspecies transmission.

Association of Group B Streptococcus colonization and bovine exposure: a prospective cross-sectional cohort study.

PLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundWhile Group B Streptococcus (GBS) human colonization and infection has long been suspected as originating from cows, several investigators have suggested that ongoing interspecies GBS transmission is unlikely due to genotyping data ...

Phylogenomic analysis of a global collection of Escherichia coli ST38: evidence of interspecies and environmental transmission?

mSystems, 2023
We performed a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis of 925 extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) ST38 genomes from 38 countries and diverse hosts and sources.

Occurrence of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis across host species and European countries with evidence for transmission between wildlife and domestic ruminants

BMC Microbiology, 2009
Background Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (Map) causes an infectious chronic enteritis (paratuberculosis or Johne's disease) principally of ruminants. The epidemiology of Map is poorly understood, particularly with respect to the role of

Human Metapneumovirus Infection in Wild Mountain Gorillas, Rwanda

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2011
The genetic relatedness of mountain gorillas and humans has led to concerns about interspecies transmission of infectious agents. Human-to-gorilla transmission may explain human metapneumovirus in 2 wild mountain gorillas that died during a respiratory ...

Primates and primatologists: social contexts for interspecies pathogen transmission [PDF]

American Journal of Primatology, 2011
Humans and nonhuman primates (NHP) interact in a variety of contexts. The frequency, duration, and intensity of interspecies interaction influence the likelihood that contact results in cross‐species transmission of infectious agents. In this study, we present results of a cross‐sectional survey of attendees at a national conference of primatologists ...

Structural basis for receptor binding and broader interspecies receptor recognition of currently circulating Omicron sub-variants

Nature Communications, 2023
Multiple SARS-CoV-2 Omicron sub-variants, such as BA.2, BA.2.12.1, BA.4, and BA.5, emerge one after another. BA.5 has become the dominant strain worldwide. Additionally, BA.2.75 is significantly increasing in some countries.

Barriers of hepatitis C virus interspecies transmission

Virology, 2013
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major causative agent of severe liver disease including fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therapy has improved over the years, but continues to be associated with adverse side effects and variable success rates. Furthermore, a vaccine protecting against HCV infection remains elusive.
