Serological evidence of Rift Valley fever viral infection among camels imported into Southern Algeria
This report indicated that dromedaries imported to the south-western areas are exposed to RVFV and may contribute to its spread in Algerian territories.PMID:37572591 | DOI:10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102035 (Source: Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases.)

Identification of novel anelloviruses in the blood of giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca)
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Aug 3;100:102038. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102038. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, the continuous development of metagenomics has revealed that in addition to the digestive tract, some viruses are also common in mammalian blood. To explore and monitor potential novel viruses, in April 2015, a blood sample was collected from a healthy captive giant panda at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province, China. The genomes of 25 different anelloviruses containing the complete ORF1 region have been identified. The BLASTp results showed that the am...

Molecular prevalence of Enterocytozoon bieneusi in stray cats of İzmir, Türkiye
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Aug 4;100:102037. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe phylum Microsporidia contains obligate single celled parasites that can infect many vertebrate hosts including humans. Enterocytozoon bieneusi is considered as the most diagnosed species in humans. E. bieneusi has also been detected in many animals such as cats, dogs and cattle. Among these animals, cats are carriers of type D and IV which are the most common human pathogenic genotypes of E. bieneusi. In Türkiye, the prevalence of E. bieneusi in stray cats is not well known. Therefore, in this stud...

Molecular detection and characterization of Bartonella spp. in rodents from central and southern Chile, with emphasis on introduced rats (Rattus spp.)
In conclusion, this work describes diverse and potentially zoonotic Bartonella spp. genotypes in Rattus spp. Additionally, this is the first report of Bartonella in O. longicaudatus, including a potentially novel Bartonella genotype or species.PMID:37544169 | DOI:10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102026 (Source: Comparative immunology, microbiology and infectious diseases.)

Comparative immunocompetence and interspecies transmission of avian orthoavulavirus-1 in feral birds originating from rural and urban settings
In this study, we comprehensively evaluated the immunocompetence of five specific feral bird species and investigated the potential for interspecies transmission and pathogenicity of Avian orthoavulavirus-1 (AOAV-1) originating from the Anseriformes order. The immunocompetence assessment involved administering the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) test to individual groups of birds from rural and urban settings, measuring patagium thickness at specific time intervals (12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 h) following the administration of 0.1 mL (1 mg/mL) of PHA. Urban birds displayed significantly enhanced mean swelling responses, particularly ...

Natural foci of plague in Kazakhstan in the space-time continuum
Comp Immunol Microbiol Infect Dis. 2023 Jul 15;100:102025. doi: 10.1016/j.cimid.2023.102025. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe relevance of the problem of the stated topic lies in the fact that the causative agent of the plague infection demonstrates high survival while maintaining high virulence in the territories, which are enzootic in terms of the plague. The study aimed to investigate the geographic distribution and genetic diversity of the plague pathogen in endemic regions through molecular genetic research. The work included the results of laboratory studies of 3058 samples, including soil - 1154, burrow substrates ...
