A new long-read mitochondrial-genome protocol (PacBio HiFi) for haemosporidian parasites: a tool for population and biodiversity studies
Studies on haemosporidian diversity, including origin of human malaria parasites, malaria's zoonotic dynamic, and regional biodiversity patterns, have used target gene approaches. However, current methods have... (Source: Malaria Journal)

The Figure of the Staggering Rat: Reading Colonial Outbreak Narratives Against the Grain of "Virus Hunting"
This article examines the historical roots of this image and its emergence in French missionary narratives about plague outbreaks in the Chinese province of Yunnan in the 1870s on the eve of the Third Plague Pandemic. Showing that accounts of the "staggering rat" were not meant as naturalist observations of a zoonotic disease, as is generally assumed by historians, but as a cosmological, end-of-the-world narrative with a colonial agenda, the article argues for an approach to historical accounts of epidemics that does not succumb to the current trend of "virus hunting" in the archive, but rather takes colonial outbreak narr...

Assessment of Knowledge and Concern of People Living with HIV Regarding Human Mpox and Vaccination
CONCLUSION: The future study should focus on continuous education, promoting awareness through programs and establishing measures to successfully overcome identified variables that contribute to mpox pandemic understanding and attitudes. Applying the lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic will help the management of mpox virus.PMID:38698752 | DOI:10.2174/011570162X293673240427062123 (Source: Current HIV Research)

Raw meat-based diet for pets: a neglected source of human exposure to < em > Salmonella < /em > and pathogenic < em > Escherichia coli < /em > clones carrying < em > mcr < /em > , Portugal, September 2019 to January 2020
ConclusionSome RMBDs from European brands available in Portugal can be a vehicle for clinically relevant MDR Salmonella and pathogenic E. coli clones carrying genes encoding resistance to the last-line antibiotic colistin. Proactive actions within the One Health context, spanning regulatory, pet-food industry and consumer levels, are needed to mitigate these public health risks.PMID:38699902 | DOI:10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2024.29.18.2300561 (Source: Euro Surveill)

Development and evaluation of a multi-target droplet digital PCR assay for highly sensitive and specific detection of < i > Yersinia pestis < /i >
ConclusionThe ddPCR assay presented good performance for detectingY.pestis DNA from soil and mouse tissue samples, showing great potential for improving the detection rate of low concentrations ofY.pestis in plague surveillance and facilitating the early diagnosis of plague cases.
