Nonhuman primates (NHP) can become infected with the same species of Mycobacteria that cause human tuberculosis.All NHP imported into United States are quarantined and screened for tuberculosis; no confirmed cases tuberculosis were diagnosed among during CDC-mandated quarantine 2013-2020.In February 2023, an outbreak caused by Mycobacterium orygis was detected in a group 540 cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis) to from Southeast Asia research purposes.Although initial exposure M. is...

Introduction International organizations now actively promote and implement One Health collaborative approaches to prevent, detect, control diseases in humans animals, recognizing the critical importance of veterinary agricultural sectors. Moreover, Veterinary Services are chronically under-resourced, especially low- middle-income countries. Given National food security, nutrition, poverty alleviation, global health strengthening capacity is a priority for international community. The World...
Globally, ticks are becoming more problematic as agricultural pests and vectors of tick-borne diseases (TBDs), many which shared between animals people. Veterinary professionals, including veterinarians non-veterinarians, considered a vulnerable group through occupational exposure. To inform educational interventions at the intrapersonal level, common approach is to first assess knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP) target populations. Thus, our objective was KAP veterinary professionals in...
Squamous cell carcinoma has been reported in a variety of bird species, most commonly psittacine and gallinaceous birds. The long-term prognosis nongallinaceous birds is generally poor if complete surgical excision not possible. the rhinotheca was diagnosed 34-year-old timneh African grey parrot (Psittacus timneh) with 2-year history beak abnormalities. No evidence metastasis or local invasion were found on results radiographs computed tomography scan. treated debulking palliative...
Spontaneously occurring ocular neoplasia is rarely reported in rabbits. This case series presents four cases of rabbits diagnosed with iridociliary tumors, which have not been previously this species. Major pathological findings include epithelial tumors affecting the anterior uvea variable pigmentation and basement membrane formation. Follow-up information was only available for two cases, but neither showed evidence metastasis, suggesting that prognosis these rabbits, as other species, may...
Introduction The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) Day 1 Competencies Graduating Veterinarians provide a standard framework to guide Veterinary Educational Establishments (VEEs) in improving their veterinary public health and population medicine curricula. However, pursuing curriculum revision incorporate these standards may be daunting, especially institutions with limited resources or experience. This manuscript describes methodology targeted specifically focused on the WOAH...
Graduating competent veterinarians with the appropriate knowledge and skills to support strengthen their country's National Veterinary Services is a key priority for veterinary institutions globally. The World Organisation Animal Health (WOAH) developed set of Day 1 Competencies that should be expected every graduate. schools need able assess coverage these competencies in curriculum determine level proficiency graduates. This article describes iterative design development process used...
As tick ranges expand across North America, the risk of bites and tick-borne diseases (TBDs, i.e. or syndromes associated with ticks) rises for humans animals, making prevention critical. Several U.S. studies have examined knowledge, attitudes, practices regarding ticks TBDs various cohorts people. However, among occupational groups high exposure from are livestock producers, which we know little about. To help address this gap, an electronic questionnaire was distributed to producers in...
