Background/Objectives: Infections in dogs caused by methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRS) present limited treatment options. This study’s objective was to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Staphylococcus spp. cultured exclusively from clinical canine skin and ear samples Queensland, Australia, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS). Methods: Forty-two isolated samples, an unknown number dogs, were sourced two veterinary diagnostic laboratories between January 2022 May 2023. These...

Malaria, schistosomiasis and geohelminth infection are linked to maternal child morbidity mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. Knowing the prevalence levels of these infections is vital guide governments towards implementation successful cost-effective disease control initiatives.A cross-sectional study 1,237 preschool children (0-5 year olds), 1,142 school-aged (6-15 olds) 960 women (>15 was conducted understand distribution malnutrition, anemia, malaria, (intestinal urinary) geohelminths a...
Risk factors for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection in dogs and cats were investigated an unmatched case-control study. A total of 197 animals from 150 veterinary practices across the United Kingdom was enrolled, including 105 MRSA cases 92 controls with methicillin-susceptible S. (MSSA) infection. The association owners veterinarian staff human healthcare sector (HCS) animal-related characteristics such as signalment, antimicrobial immunosuppressive therapy,...
SUMMARY We investigated the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage in a convenience sample purposely selected populations dogs, cats and horses Greater London area. Swabs from sites were pooled, enriched processed by standard bacteriological methods. The presence nuc mecA was confirmed for MRSA. Risk factors among veterinary treatment group animals using exact logistic regression analysis. Twenty-six (1·53%) MRSA carriers identified 1692 (15/704 8/540 cats,...
Background Morbidity due to Schistosoma haematobium and hookworm infections is marked in those with intense co-infections by these parasites. The development of a spatial predictive decision-support tool crucial for targeting the delivery integrated mass drug administration (MDA) most need. We investigated co-distribution S. infection, plus overlap infection intensity both parasites, Ghana. aim was produce maps assist planning evaluation national parasitic disease control programs....
Background Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne disease caused by many serotypes of hantaviruses. In China, HFRS has been recognized as severe public health problem 90% the total reported cases in world. This study describes spatiotemporal dynamics China and identifies regions, time, populations at highest risk, which could help planning implementation key preventative measures. Methods Data on all county level from January 2005 to December 2012 were collected...
A new reassortant influenza (H7N9) virus emerged early 2013 in eastern China. Exposure to H7N9 infected poultry at live bird markets (LBM) was implicated as the main risk factor for human infection. We aimed identify role of LBM biosecurity indicators and movement affected areas.A cross-sectional survey carried out 24 LBMs beginning outbreak all provinces. used univariable analysis factors associated with presence social network spatial quantify connectivity geographic variation...
Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections are amongst the most prevalent in world. Mass drug administration (MDA) programmes have become commonly used national interventions for endemic countries to achieve elimination. This paper aims describe effect of an 8-year MDA programme on prevalence, intensity infection and co-infection STH Burundi from 2007 2014 critically appraise trajectory towards elimination country. Annual parasitological surveys (specifically, a "pilot study" 2011,...

Background As part of the Global Programme to Eliminate Lymphatic Filariasis (LF), American Samoa conducted mass drug administration (MDA) from 2000–2006, and passed transmission assessment surveys in 2011–2012. We examined seroprevalence spatial epidemiology LF post-MDA inform strategies for ongoing surveillance reduce resurgence risk. Methods ELISA antigen (Og4C3) antibodies (Wb123, Bm14) were performed on a geo-referenced serum bank 807 adults collected 2010. Risk factors assessed...
