A multidisciplinary analysis of over 53,000 fascioliasis patients along the 1995-2019 countrywide spread in Vietnam defines a new epidemiological baseline for One Health approaches
Fascioliasis, only foodborne trematodiasis of worldwide distribution, is caused by and , liver flukes transmitted by freshwater snails. Southern and southeastern Asia is an emerging hot spot of , despite its hitherto less involvement in human infection. In Vietnam, increasing cases have been reported since 1995, whereas only sixteen throughout 1800-1994. A database was created…

A cross-sectional survey of Blastocystis sp. and Dientamoeba fragilis in non-human primates and their caregivers in Czech zoos
Intestinal protists in the gut microbiome are increasingly studied, but their basic epidemiology is not well understood. We explored the prevalence, genetic diversity, and potential zoonotic transmission of two protists colonizing the large intestine – sp. and – in 37 species of non-human primates (NHPs) and their caregivers in six zoos in the Czech Republic.…

A qualitative study on wildlife contact and healthcare-seeking behaviors among a cluster of Mani ethnic group in Manang district, Satun province of Thailand
Mani, or Maniq, or Sakai, are recognized as indigenous hunter-gatherers. Some are nomadic, while others have settled and modernized. Our knowledge of this ethnic group’s healthcare-seeking and wildlife contact is limited. Thus, this qualitative study examined healthcare practices and wildlife interaction among a cluster of Mani ethnic group members in Manang District, Satun Province, Thailand,…

Farm biosecurity practices affecting avian influenza virus circulation in commercial chicken farms in Bangladesh
Avian influenza virus (AIV) is of major concern to livestock, wildlife, and human health. In many countries in the world, including Bangladesh, AIV is endemic in poultry, requiring improving biosecurity. In Bangladesh, we investigated how variation in biosecurity practices in commercial chicken farms affected their AIV infection status to help guide AIV mitigation strategies. We…

Feed handling practices, aflatoxin awareness and children’s milk consumption in the Sidama region of southern Ethiopia
Consumption of milk is linked to improved nutrient intake and reduced risk of child malnutrition in low and middle-income countries. However, these benefits are contingent on the safety and quality of the milk. Milk consumption may alleviate the widespread risk of malnutrition in rural Ethiopia, but milk-borne contaminants may also compromise child health. We aimed…

Rodent-adapted Cryptosporidium infection in humans: Seven new cases and review of the literature
Cases of cryptosporidiosis in humans have been reported with strong indication of transmission from rodents. Here, we report seven new human cases of cryptosporidiosis involving rodent-adapted species ( [ = 1], [ = 4; previously known as chipmunk genotype I], [ = 1], and [n = 1]) and review cases of human infection caused by these four species published to date. The seven…

Traces of pandemic fluoroquinolone-resistant Escherichia coli clone ST131 transmitted from human society to aquatic environments and wildlife in Japan
Transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria among humans, animals, and the environment is a growing concern worldwide. The distribution of an international high-risk fluoroquinolone-resistant clone, ST131, has been documented in clinical settings. However, the transmission of ST131 from humans to surrounding environments remains poorly elucidated. To comprehend the current situation and identify the source of ST131 in…

Zoonotic linkage and environmental contamination of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in dairy farms: A one health perspective
Methicillin-Resistant (MRSA) is a ubiquitous public health challenge, with its prevalence in human, animal, and environmental interfaces posing significant concerns. This study aimed to characterize and detect the zoonotic linkages of MRSA within the cow-environment-human interfaces in dairy farms to address the One Health perspective. A comprehensive investigation, involving 636 samples (an equal number of…

Human fascioliasis emergence in southern Asia: Complete nuclear rDNA spacer and mtDNA gene sequences prove Indian patient infection related to fluke hybridization in northeastern India and Bangladesh
Fascioliasis is a snail-borne zoonotic disease with impact on the development of human subjects and communities. It is caused by two liver-infecting fasciolid trematode species, the globally-distributed and the Africa/Asia-restricted but more pathogenic, larger . is the cause of endemicity in livestock throughout the warm lowlands from Pakistan to southeastern Asia since old times. Human…

Antimicrobial resistance in food-borne pathogens at the human-animal interface: Results from a large surveillance study in India
BACKGROUND The burden of foodborne diseases and antimicrobial resistance carried by key foodborne pathogens in India is unknown due to a lack of an integrated surveillance system at the human-animal interface. METHODS We present data from the WHO-AGISAR (Advisory Group on Integrated Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance), India project. Concurrent human and animal sampling was done…
