From 2017 to 2023, 196 dead Korean water deer (Hydropotes inermis argyropus), a common wildlife species in Republic of Korea, were necropsied. In one deer, bovine tuberculosis infection was confirmed through necropsy, histopathologic examination, and microbiologic diagnosis.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) caused by the SFTS virus (SFTSV), a phlebovirus in family Bunyaviridae, is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease that impacts humans.This manifests as decreased blood cell count and multi-organ failure, case-fatality rate of more than 12% China.Because vaccines or antiviral drugs for treatment this are not available, monitoring circulation animals controlling tick-mammal cycle important preventing SFTS.Monoclonal antibodies against...
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is caused by the SFTS virus (SFTSV). The SFTSV appears to have a wide host range, as SFTSV-positive ticks been isolated from both farm animals and wild rodents. Therefore, it important monitor prevent transmission of humans. Previously, we developed competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (cELISA) detect SFTSV-specific antibodies field compared cELISA results those an indirect immunofluorescence (IFA). In this study, were evaluated...
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is caused by Mycobacterium bovis, a well-known cause of zoonotic in cattle and deer, has been investigated many physiological molecular studies. However, detailed genome-level studies M. bovis have not performed Korea.To survey whole genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variants Korean field isolates to define groups Korea comparing SNP typing with spoligotyping variable number tandem repeat typing.A total 46 isolates, isolated from laryngopharyngeal...
Background We previously elucidated the protective mechanism of Korean red ginseng oil (RGO) against Brucella abortus infection, and our phytochemical analysis revealed that palmitic acid (PA) was an abundant component RGO. Consequently, we investigated contribution PA B. abortus. Objectives aimed to investigate efficacy infection using a murine cell line model. Methods Cell viability, bactericidal, internalization, intracellular replication, western blot, nitric oxide (NO), superoxide (O₂⁻)...
