Powassan Virus Experimental Infections in Three Wild Mammal Species.

Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne virus maintained in sylvatic cycles between mammalian wildlife hosts and ticks (primarily Ixodes spp.). There are two currently recognized lineages, POWV-lineage 1 (POWV-L1) and deer tick virus (DTV; lineage 2), both of which can cause fatal neurologic disease in humans. Increased numbers of human case reports in the northeastern and north central United States in recent years have fueled questions into POWV epidemiology. We inoculated three candidate wildlife POWV reservoir hosts, groundhogs (Marmota monax), striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), and fox squ…

No evidence for enzootic plague within black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) populations.

Yersinia pestis, causative agent of plague, occurs throughout the western United States in rodent populations and periodically causes epizoo … ivity in these colonies. Although we did not identify likely enzootic hosts, we found evidence that deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) may serve as bridging hosts for Y. pestis between unknown enzootic hosts and black-tailed prairie dogs.

Sixteen out of 337 sika deer (4.75%) were positive with B1 gene by nest PCR. Furthermore, four positive DNA samples were completely typed through further being genotyped, in which three samples were identified as ToxoDB Genotype #9, and one sample was confirmed as ToxoDB Genoty …

Combination of microbiome analysis and serodiagnostics to assess the risk of pathogen transmission by ticks to humans and animals in central Germany.

BACKGROUND: Arthropod-borne diseases remain a major health-threat for humans and animals worldwide. To estimate the distribution of pathogen … analyzed by serology. Bartonella spp. were detected in 9.5% of all ticks and in the blood of 17 roe deer. Further data reveal the presence of the human and animal pathogenic species of genera in the family Spirochaetaceae (including Borrelia miyamotoi and Borrelia garinii), Bartonella spp. (mainly Bartonella schoenbuchensis), Rickettsia helvetica, Fran …

Powassan Virus and Other Arthropod-Borne Viruses in Wildlife and Ticks in Ontario, Canada.

Powassan virus (POWV) is a tick-borne zoonosis maintained in natural enzootic cycles between ixodid ticks and wild mammals. Reported human c … OWV by RT-PCR. One of 53 pools of Ixodes cookei (among 98 total tick pools) was RT-PCR positive for deer tick virus (POWV) lineage. Antibodies to POWV and WNV were detected in 0.4% of 265 and 6.1% of 264 samples, respectively, and all of 219 serum samples tested negative for anti-HRTV antibodies. These results reveal low POWV detection rates in souther …

Concentrations of trace elements in American alligators (Alligator mississippiensis) from Florida, USA.

Concentrations of 28 trace elements (Li, Mg, Al, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Cs, Tl, Hg, Pb, … elevated hepatic Fe concentrations that exceed the threshold value for toxic effects in donkey, red deer and human. These results prompted us to express our concern on possible exposure and health effects in American alligators by some trace elements derived from NASA activities.

Факторы, влияющие на характер паразитизма тика на лесных грызунах в районах риска энцефалита, переносимых клещами, Германия.

Для понимания систем инфекционных заболеваний существенно важное значение имеет выявление факторов, влияющих на нагрузку отдельных переносчиков. На основе данных программы мониторинга грызунов, проведенной в девяти различных лесных пятнах в южной части Гессен, Германия, мы разработали модели, которые предсказывают тикание (Ixodes spp. и Dermconentor spp.) нагрузки на два вида грызунов Apodemus flavicollis и Myodes glareolus. Модели двух видов грызунов в целом аналогичны, но различаются по некоторым аспектам. Характеристики иксодов spp. нагрузки были подвержены воздействию внешних факторов, так

Characteristics and frequency of detection of fecal Listeria monocytogenes shed by livestock, wildlife, and humans.

Listeria monocytogenes is a facultative intracellular pathogen that can be carried asymptomatically in various animals and can be shed in fe … 4 confirmed strains. Listeria monocytogenes was isolated from livestock (beef and dairy), wildlife (deer, moose, otter, and raccoon), and human (biosolids and septic) fecal sources. Thirty-two isolates were from serovar 1/2a, 34 from serovar 1/2b, 1 from serovar 3a, and 17 from serovar 4b. Listeria monocytogenes populations were resolved into 13 EcoRI …

Working with Parry sound area local Canadian First Nations to describe a good death and ensure cultural sensitivity at the end-of-life.

This study explores the culturally sensitive palliative and end-of-life care within First Nations communities in the Parry Sound area: Shawanaga, Wasauksing, and Moose Deer Point First Nations communities in Canada. The legacy of colonialism, particularly the Indian Act of 1876, has significantly disrupted Indigenous health practices, contributing to mistrust in Western healthcare systems. This research addresses gaps in culturally appropriate palliative and end-of-life care by identifying how First Nations communities define a "good death" and how Western healthcare providers can respect and …

Epidemiological situation of hepatitis E in Africa.

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) belongs to the Hepeviridae family, Orthohepevirinae subfamily, Paslahepevirus genus which includes eight genotypes. HEV genotype 1 (HEV-1) and genotype 2 (HEV-2) are specific to humans, while genotype 3 (HEV-3) and genotype 4 (HEV-4) circulate mainly in pigs, wild boars and deer, but have also a zoonotic potential. HEV genotype 5 (HEV-5) and 6 (HEV-6) viruses circulate in wild boars in Japan and genotype 7 (HEV-7) and 8 (HEV-8) viruses circulate in camelids. The worldwide distribution of HEV is influenced by ecological and socioeconomic factors. In developing countries …

Cleavage site-directed antibodies reveal the prion protein in humans is shed by ADAM10 at Y226 and associates with misfolded protein deposits in neurodegenerative diseases.
