Article Abstract
Introduction: . and are common zoonotic pathogens threatening human and animal health. These parasites are widely distributed in birds, and substantial research on their prevalence has been conducted. However, no studies on sp. and in raptors exist.
Methods: The present study collected 335 fecal samples from raptors in Changdao, China. The prevalence and genotypes of sp. and were determined through amplification of rRNA and ITS gene. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using MEGA 11 with the neighbor-joining method (Kimura 2-parameter model, 1000 replicate).
Results: The overall infection rates of sp. and in raptors were 1.19% (4/335) and 1.79% (6/335), respecttively. Among them, the highest infection rate of sp. was observed in (3.85%, 1/26), while showed the highest infection rate of (33.33%, 1/3), followed by (7.69%, 1/13). This study identified two sp. subtypes: ST3 and ST10 in raptors for the first time. Regarding in raptors, we identified four genotypes: CHN-F1, HND-III, BEB6, and HLJD-I. Among these, BEB6 and CHN-F1 are notable for their zoonotic potential and the risk of waterborne outbreaks.
Discussion: These findings suggest that raptors may be potential transmitters of sp. and to humans and other animals, as well as sources of water contamination. This study fills a gap in the research on sp. and in raptors and is important for public health safety.

Background: Manual wiping of surfaces, a primary method in preventing hospital acquired infections, can vary significantly in its ability to eliminate bacteria and prevent cross-contamination.
Methods: Four liquid-based cleaning and disinfecting formulations comprised of hydrogen peroxide (HP), ethoxylated alcohol (EA), quaternary ammonium compounds (Quat and Quat2), or a water-based control were evaluated for their bactericidal efficacy in combination with three different wiping materials: microfiber, polypropylene, and cotton. Each chemistry and wipe combination were evaluated for its ability to reduce microbial contamination on a hard, non-porous surface measuring one meter.

The sub-Saharan African region bears the highest burden of rotavirus-associated morbidity and mortality, with substantial genetic diversity observed in circulating strains despite vaccine introduction. The G8 genotype, originally predominant in bovine strains, has increasingly become prevalent in humans, suggesting a possible interface of animal-to-human transmission and highlighting its role in African strain diversity. In this study, we performed whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis of 21 archival G8P[4] strains collected through gastroenteritis surveillance in South Africa between 2009 and 2021 from children under five years of age.

Several studies have described immune responses in the teleost brain and meninges during infection, however, fundamental studies that systematically dissect how different regions of the brain maintain immune homeostasis in teleosts are missing. Here we present an in-depth investigation of the immune status of the brain parenchyma and meninges of juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) at the steady state. We dissected four parenchymal brain regions including olfactory bulbs (OB), telencephalon (Tel), optic tectum (OT) and cerebellum (Cer) and its corresponding dorsal meninges.

White spot syndrome virus (WSSV), the causative agent of white spot disease, remains a serious threat to crustacean aquaculture. Infecting a wide range of crustaceans, host species exhibit varying susceptibility and mortality rates. Mud crabs, Scylla serrata, a high-value aquaculture commodity across the Indo-Pacific region, are known to be relatively resistant to WSSV.
