In a recent study published in Science of the Total Environment, researchers characterize potential zoonotic pathogens present in fecal samples of urban vertebrate species in Madrid, Spain, to ...

The eco-epidemiology of zoonoses is far more than just host-pathogen interactions. To dig deeper into these events, researchers have dissected the complex interactions involved in zoonoses. They ...

A systematic review of more than 200 studies published in BMC Infectious Diseases on human viruses over more than a century ...

A genomic deep dive shows that manure-feeding flies may be silent super-spreaders, transferring and amplifying resistant pathogens from livestock waste into the farm environment. Study: Genomic ...

Humans have been getting infected by ancient bacteria and viruses for at least 37,000 years. Now, for the first time, pathogen DNA has uncovered a pivotal disease "turning point" that happened 6,500 ...

The rapid identification and genomic analysis of zoonotic pathogens are critical for safeguarding public health and controlling outbreaks. PathoBase, an advanced computational platform, provides a ...

Scientists have uncovered DNA from 214 ancient pathogens in prehistoric humans, including the oldest known evidence of plague. The findings show zoonotic diseases began spreading around 6,500 years ...

Ecosystem restoration projects aim to restore biodiversity and associated compromised ecosystem services. Evidence is persuasive of the increased risks of zoonotic diseases with degradation and ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG-3 Good Health & Well-Being. Close contact with pets creates a unique environment for cross-species transmission of bacterial, viral, ...
