In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers investigated how large-scale livestock rearing may result in the emergence and transmission of novel, potentially zoonotic pathogens. They ...

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 ...

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 ...

Zoonotic diseases jump species to infect humans, and scientists have been studying this transmission chain for many years. Researchers in Austria aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of the ...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently sounded the alarm concerning a growing risk of disease outbreaks in Africa attributable to zoonotic pathogens, after finding a 63 per cent rise in the ...

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 ...

Anyone who has been on the planet for the last four years will know how viruses that evolve to jump across species, given the right conditions, can rapidly become a serious global crisis. While ...

[Vienna, July 11 2024] — Researchers from the Complexity Science Hub and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna have dissected the complex interactions involved in zoonoses, which affect ...

Scientists in Burkina Faso have been trained in biosafety practices in the latest of almost 20 courses delivered under the IAEA’s Zoonotic Disease Integrated Action initiative, or ZODIAC. The courses, ...
