Current understanding and knowledge gaps regarding wildlife as reservoirs of antimicrobial resistance
Am J Vet Res. 2024 Apr 22:1-9. doi: 10.2460/ajvr.24.02.0040. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious health issue shared across all One Health domains. Wildlife species represent a key intersection of the animal and environmental domains. They are a relevant but understudied reservoir and route of spread for AMR throughout the environment. Most wildlife AMR research thus far has focused on avian species, terrestrial mammals, and a selection of aquatic and marine species. Pathogens often identified in terrestrial wildlife include enteric zoonotic organisms such as Eschericia coli and Salmon...

Exploring the second intermediate hosts and morphology of human- and cat-specific Opisthorchis viverrini-like populations
Int J Parasitol. 2024 Apr 17:S0020-7519(24)00076-6. doi: 10.1016/j.ijpara.2024.04.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTInfection by the zoonotic fish-borne trematode, Opisthorchis viverrini, remains a crucial health issue in Thailand and neighboring countries. Recently, molecular analysis revealed two populations of putative O. viverrini: one found primarily in human hosts ("human-specific" population) and the other primarily in cats ("cat-specific" population). It is unclear how the infective stages (metacercariae) of these different populations circulate among definitive and reservoir hosts in nature. To gain an insight in...

Persistence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) subtypes 3c and 3e: Long-term cold storage and heat treatments
Food Microbiol. 2024 Aug;121:104529. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104529. Epub 2024 Mar 30.ABSTRACTHepatitis E virus (HEV) is the causative agent of foodborne infections occurring in high income countries mainly by consumption of undercooked and raw pork products. The virus is zoonotic with pigs and wild boars as the main reservoirs. Several studies proved the presence of HEV-RNA in pork liver sausages, pâté and other pork by-products. However, the detection of HEV nucleic acids does not necessary correspond to infectious virus and information on the persistence of the virus in the food is still limited. To which extent and ho...
