Zoonotic diseases and human health: the human influenza example.
Over the past few decades a large number of new and emerging infectious diseases have been recognised in humans, partly because of improved diagnostic technologies and increased awareness and also, partly because of dynamic ecological changes between human hosts and their exposure to animals and the environment (Coker et al. 2011). Some 177 new pathogenic organisms have been recognised to b...

The epidemiology of influenza virus in pig populations is unique, with different lineages of viruses identified based on spatio-temporal characteristics. Co-circulation of viruses leads to the generation of new strains through genetic reassortment and the consequences of independent evolution of influenza viruses in pigs gives rise to considerable genetic diversity at continental level. Whilst ...

Since the first appearance of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus many efforts have been made to monitor the changes of the virus at molecular level with the aim to early detect mutations which could alter its pathogenicity. Some mutations have been observed more frequently in viruses that caused severe or fatal infections than in viruses involved in mild infections. Among these, the most common see...
متن کاملPrioritizing Zoonotic Diseases: Differences in Perspectives Between Human and Animal Health Professionals in North America.
Zoonoses pose a significant burden of illness in North America. Zoonoses represent an additional threat to public health because the natural reservoirs are often animals, particularly wildlife, thus eluding control efforts such as quarantine, vaccination and social distancing. As there are limited resources available, it is necessary to prioritize diseases in order to allocate resources to thos...
متن کاملEpidemiological and genetic investigations of human-to-human transmission of zoonotic influenza viruses.
In September 2013, leptospirosis was diagnosed in two Spanish travellers returning from Thailand. The first case walked in floodwater in the Phi Phi Islands in pouring rain: 20 days later he presented with fever and acute hepatitis. The second presented with fever and renal failure 17 days after visiting the islands. These cases remind clinicians to consider leptospirosis in febrile patients wi...
