Neglected zoonotic agents in cattle abortion: tackling the difficult to grow bacteria [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii, Chlamydia abortus and Leptospira spp. are difficult to grow bacteria that play a role in bovine abortion, but their diagnosis is hampered by their obligate intracellular lifestyle (C. burnetii, C. abortus) or their lability (Leptospira spp.).

Prediction of viral spillover risk based on the mass action principle [PDF]
Infectious zoonotic disease emergence, through spillover events, is of global concern and has the potential to cause significant harm to society, as recently demonstrated by COVID-19. More than 70% of the 400 infectious diseases that emerged in the past five decades have a zoonotic origin, including all recent pandemics.

Bacteriophages as an Alternative Method for Control of Zoonotic and Foodborne Pathogens
The global increase in multidrug-resistant infections caused by various pathogens has raised concerns in human and veterinary medicine. This has renewed interest in the development of alternative methods to antibiotics, including the use of ...

Surveillance of zoonotic bacteria in finishing pigs in The Netherlands
In The Netherlands, from 1998 till 2002, a surveillance programme for zoonotic bacteria in finishing pigs was conducted at herd level. In 2000-2002, the prevalence of Salmonella spp. approximated 30%, while a significantly decreasing trend was observed when standardizing data for herdsize, age and quarter of sampling. Serotype discrimination showed the

Escherichia coli serogroup O157 is the main causative agent of several intestinal and extra‐intestinal foodborne diseases in human through consumption of low‐dose contaminated foods such as milk, beef and vegetables. To date, studies regarding the quantitative prevalence of E. coli O157 in foods are so limited.

Novel RNA viruses in oysters revealed by virome
Eighteen novel RNA viruses were found in Crassostrea hongkongensis. Phylogenic analysis shows evidence of recombination between major genes of viruses. Picobirnaviruses are ubiquitous and abundant in oysters.
