Diagnostic Accuracy of 3 Mpox Lateral Flow Assays for Antigen Detection, Democratic Republic of the Congo and United Kingdom

Emerging Infectious Diseases
The ongoing outbreaks of mpox highlight the urgent need for a rapid and low-cost diagnostic test to accurately detect and control this emerging disease. We estimated the analytical sensitivity using viral culture of the monkeypox virus clade IIb lineage

First Molecular Characterisation of the Lumpy Skin Disease Virus From the North African Region, Algeria and Tunisia

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2026.
Highlights • Molecular characterisation of the LSDV in Algeria and Tunisia. PCR detection of the presence of the LSDV in 77.9% of the samples collected. • Cattle skin and nasal and buccal swabs were the most virulent material. • Phylogenetic analysis using the p32 gene revealed 100% sequence identity and grouping with GenBank‐published LSDV sequences ...

Microparasite species richness in rodents is higher at lower latitudes and is associated with reduced litter size [PDF]

, 2011
Parasite species loads are expected to be higher in the tropics and higher parasite species richness to have cumulative effects on host physiology or demography. Despite being regularly assumed or predicted, empirical evidence on specieslatitude patterns

Global Warming Affects the Pathogenesis of Important Fish Diseases in European Aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
The effect of global warming on pathogens and their fish hosts that could exacerbate the negative outcomes for aquaculture. Changes in farming practices and the development of innovative mitigation tools may prove essential to cope with the effects and impacts of rising water temperatures on fish diseases in Europe.

Research Review on Inhibitors of Lumpy Skin Disease Virus: From Biological Characteristics, Drug Repurposing, to Computer‐Aided Drug Design

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This review summarizes the research progress on inhibitors of lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), focusing on its biological characteristics and key proteins involved in the viral replication cycle. It compiles various inhibitors (direct‐acting poxvirus inhibitors and host‐directed poxvirus inhibitors) against poxviruses, their mechanisms of action, and ...

A preliminary study of viral metagenomics of French bat species in contact with humans: identification of new mammalian viruses. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The prediction of viral zoonosis epidemics has become a major public health issue. A profound understanding of the viral population in key animal species acting as reservoirs represents an important step towards this goal.
