Beaver Fever: Whole-Genome Characterization of Waterborne Outbreak and Sporadic Isolates To Study the Zoonotic Transmission of Giardiasis

mSphere, 2018
Giardia causes the diarrheal disease known as giardiasis; transmission through contaminated surface water is common. The protozoan parasite’s genetic diversity has major implications for human health and epidemiology.

Pharmacokinetics of Diclazuril in the Plasma and Cerebrospinal Fluid of Healthy Adult Horses After a Single Oral Dose Administered as a Pelleted Topdressing

Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis can cause acute infections with rapid onset of neurologic signs, necessitating immediate empiric therapy with antiprotozoal medication. The objective of the study was to identify when concentrations of diclazuril reached the MIC of Sarcocystis neurona in CSF (1 ng/mL) of healthy adult horses after a single ...

Anaemia Among Mother–Child Dyads in India: Trends, Drivers, and Future Projections

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anaemia among mothers and their children is a widespread public health challenge with profound consequences for individuals and societies. While anaemia has been studied separately in women and children, there remains a literature gap examining anaemia in mother‐child dyads, limiting insights on interventions that may simultaneously address ...

A cross-sectional study reveals complex associations between gastrointestinal parasite composition and faecal immune and inflammatory biomarkers in wildlife and livestock in Kenya

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundIn landscapes where wildlife and livestock co-graze, hosts are often poly-parasitised with diverse nematode and protozoan communities. The relationships between chronic, endemic parasite infections and host immune response is still unknown in ...

High prevalence of a host‐associated Anaplasma lineage in wild coatis (Nasua nasua) from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Anaplasma sp. DNA was detected in 47.9% of free‐ranging coatis (Nasua nasua) sampled in Iguaçu National Park, southern Brazil. Molecular analyses revealed a genetically distinct Anaplasma lineage infecting coatis, differing from Anaplasma strains detected in associated tick populations.

Entomological surveillance of Trypanosoma cruzi vectors in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Discontinuous entomological surveillance and persistent infestation by triatomines highlight the risk of Trypanosoma cruzi transmission. The diversity of triatomine species in the peridomicile shows the potential for colonization into the home. The wide distribution of Triatoma brasiliensis and Triatoma pseudomaculata accompanies high rates of ...
