Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) is a pathogenic strain of avian paramyxovirus (aPMV-1) that among the most serious disease threats to poultry industry worldwide. Viral diversity high in aPMV-1; eight genotypes are recognized based on phylogenetic reconstruction gene sequences. Modified live vaccines have been developed decrease economic losses caused by this virus. Vaccines derived from avirulent genotype II strains were 1950s and use globally, whereas Australian belonging I as 1970s used...
A total of 133 E. coli strains isolated from different food animals and wildlife sources in Sarawak, Malaysia were screened to determine their antibiotic resistance pattern using the disk diffusion methods.
In the search for natural reservoirs of hepatitis C virus (HCV), a broad diversity non-human viruses within Hepacivirus genus has been uncovered. However, evolutionary dynamics that shaped and timescale hepaciviruses evolution remain elusive. To gain further insights into origins this genus, we screened large dataset wild mammal samples (n = 1,672) from Africa Asia, generated 34 full-length hepacivirus genomes. Phylogenetic analysis these data together with publicly available genomes...

Rodents belong to the order Rodentia, which consists of three families in Borneo (i.e., Muridae, Sciuridae and Hystricidae). These include rats, mice, squirrels, porcupines. They are widespread throughout world considered pests that harm humans livestock. Some rodent species natural reservoirs hantaviruses (Family: Bunyaviridae) can cause zoonotic diseases humans. Although hantavirus seropositive human sera were reported Peninsular Malaysia early 1980s, information on their infection is...
This study was carried out to assess the occurrence of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in bats, birds and rodents asrepresentative wildlife from different habitats Sibu Kapit, Sarawak, Malaysia. A total 682 swabsamples were collected hosts screened for bacteria E. O157:H7 usingstandard microbiological methods molecular techniques. The overall rates among thesehosts 14%, 17% 54% rodents, respectively. thehighest regardless habitats. Isolated then by using amultiplex PCR with four primer pairs...
<title>Abstract</title> Numerous research on the gut microbial diversity of non-human primates (NHP) has been done to evaluate impact environmental changes microbiota and determine mutualistic relationship between animals microbes that aid in their adaptation living an altered environment. The metagenomics approach was employed explore abundance endangered endemic proboscis monkeys Borneo. amplicon sequencing 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene from 24 faecal samples successfully generated over...
The fish health status and parasitic infection in paddy fields are understudied Borneo. This study was done to compare the prevalence abundance of parasites on freshwater fishes upstream downstream rivers fields. Parasite by collecting live samples using ten minnow traps with baits at each site Serian Padawan, Sarawak, from October 2017 until March 2018. A total 120 were examined during this period. Cold anaesthesia applied prior ectoparasite endoparasite microscopic screening, which...
