Global trends in infectious diseases at the wildlife–livestock interface [PDF]

, 2015
The role and significance of wildlife–livestock interfaces in disease ecology has largely been neglected, despite recent interest in animals as origins of emerging diseases in humans. Scoping review methods were applied to objectively assess the relative

Causal analysis of trade loss from pathogens: A global study of foot and mouth disease impacts on meat exports

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Our general interest is in global trade loss from livestock pathogens, specifically exports. We adopt a causal inference approach that considers animal disease outbreaks over time as non‐staggered binary treatments with the potential for switching in (infection) and out of treatment (recovery) within the sample period. The outcome evolution of

Zoonoses

, 2009
Zoonoses are the ‘diseases and infections that are naturally transmitted between vertebrate animals and man,’ as defined in 1951 by the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Zoonoses. The word zoonosis (plural zoonoses) is the combination of two Greek words (zoon, animals and noson, disease), and was coined at the end of the nineteenth ...

The Legislation for Providing Animal Access in Australian Residential Aged Care: It's Not a Zoo

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Providing meaningful animal contact to residential aged care facility (RACF) residents is problematic due to a lack of animal policies and National Guidelines. This paper examines how Australian Legislation could influence access to animal contact in RACFs and aims to answer the question, ‘Could current Legislation facilitate the development ...

Adjustment and Completion of BASNEF Model to Provide a New Model for Educating Large Populations in Relation to Cutaneous Leishmaniasis [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Educational models that have been created for educating small populations do not have enough efficacy for educating large populations, so based on this premise and also high prevalence of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) in the Islamic Republic

Comparative virology and pathology of Monkeypox virus in Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6, and BALB/c mice: A framework for preclinical model selection

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection in three small animal models: Syrian hamsters, C57BL/6 mice, and BALB/c mice. Following intraperitoneal inoculation, Syrian hamsters exhibited the highest susceptibility, with rapid systemic viral dissemination, elevated splenic and renal viral burdens, and severe histopathological damage, followed ...

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.
