Epidemiological study of people living in rural North Carolina for novel respiratory viruses
Summary
During the last 10 years, scientists have grown increasingly aware that emerging respiratory viruses are often zoonotic in their origin. These infections can originate from or be amplified in livestock. Less commonly recognized are instances when humans have transmitted their respiratory pathogens to animals (reverse zoonoses). Even with this knowledge of viral exchange at the human–livestock interface, few studies have been conducted to understand this cross‐over. In this pilot study, we examined persons with influenza‐like illness at an outpatient clinic for evidence of infection with novel zoonotic respir...

Looking for new approaches for the use of serology in the context of control programmes against pig salmonellosis
This study assessed whether performing on‐farm serology may help to predict shedding at slaughter. Between 2010 and 2016, pigs from six cohorts from a Salmonella‐positive herd were bled at 30, 60 and 90 days on fattening and before slaughter, and faecal samples collected at slaughter. Serology on days 60, 90 and before slaughter predicted somewhat shedding at slaughter with no significant differences among them. Pigs with higher OD% values at these point times would have higher risk of shedding when arriving to slaughter. The probability of shedding for a pig sampled on day 90 and showing an OD% value of 10 was 43%, a...

Potential of saprophage Diptera to acquire culturable livestock ‐associated antibiotic‐resistant bacteria
In this study, piglet cadavers were used to attract saprophage dipterans from the environment and those dipterans were sampled for the presence of LA‐ARB. In the first trial, culturable microbes resistant to both aminoglycoside and β‐lactam antibiotics were found in all cadavers and masses of dipteran larvae, and in three‐quarters of adult dipterans. In the second trial, over 130 culturable bacterial colonies resistant to β‐lactams were isolated from the cadavers, larval and adult dipterans. Over 100 of those colonies were coliform or metabolically similar bacteria. Adult dipterans carried β‐lactam resistant s...

In vitro invasion capacity of Salmonella Typhimurium DT9 isolates sourced from humans and layer hen environments
In this study, the in vitro virulence potential of S. Typhimurium DT9 isolates possessing different MLVA patterns (03 15 07 11 550, 03 24 11 10 523, 03 15 08 11 550 and 03 14 08 11 550) isolated from either humans or layer hens was assessed using a human colon carcinoma cell line. Four strains per MLVA from each host for a total of 32 isolates were included in these experiments. Bacteria were grown to stationary phase and added to cells at a multiplicity of infection of 100. Across all isolates, mean percent recovery ranged from 7.1 ± 1.1 to 33.3 ± 7.1%. The layer hen isolate, KC900 (MLVA profile 03 15 08 11 550), ex...

Role, ownership and presence of domestic animals in peri ‐urban households of Kisumu, Kenya
Summary
Low‐ and middle‐income countries are experiencing rapid urban population growth, particularly in peri‐urban informal settlements. In these urban areas, animal husbandry remains a valuable source of income and protein‐rich foods but may also present a risk of zoonotic disease threat. To date, there have been studies that have assessed the prevalence and nature of animal ownership in these communities. This cross‐sectional survey assessed the geographical, sociocultural and economic factors behind the presence, ownership and purpose of domestic animals in three informal peri‐urban communities of Kisumu, K...

Distance to pig farms as risk factor for community ‐onset livestock‐associated MRSA CC398 infection in persons without known contact to pig farms—A nationwide study
Summary
MRSA CC398 is an emerging MRSA strain found in livestock, mainly in pigs. Direct occupational livestock contact is the principal risk factor for human MRSA CC398 infection. Nonetheless, in recent years, an increasing number of MRSA CC398 cases has been observed in persons without known pig contact. Such cases, referred to as MRSA CC398 of unknown origin (MUO CC398), have, like livestock‐onset (LO) MRSA CC398 cases, been found concentrated in rural, livestock‐producing areas. The presence of MUO CC398 cases indicates alternative and unknown MRSA CC398 transmission pathways into the community. We performed a nati...
