These data sets will aid efforts to better define the point at which a disease becomes “emerging”, and allow the programmatic definition and examination of different definitions of emergence (e.g., first appearance vs. increasing incidence, etc.) in testable form31. Future work may be able ...

visceral and CNS disease, including migration into the eye (Figure1). Baylisascariasis is acquired in the same manner as other ascarids, through the ingestion of infective eggs from the soil or other environmental sources that have been contaminated by raccoon faeces. Similar to other visceral or...
Pathogenic leptospires are the bacterial agents of leptospirosis, which is an emerging zoonotic disease that affects both animals and humans worldwide. In this Review, the recent advances in our understanding of the epidemiology, taxonomy, genomics and t
Nevertheless, considering human behaviour is also fundamental in infectious disease transmission. The One Health definition has changed in 2022 accordingly and now it includes the importance of society and its diversity in values and beliefs in effectively fighting zoonoses [107,108]. Collaboration betwee...
Through this literature review, we identified 304 papers published between 1970 and 2018 that described disease agents in camels with probable (see above definition) or confirmed transmission to humans. Thirty-seven camel-borne diseases were identified, comprised of 12 bacterial diseases, 13 viral dise...
With the resurgence of tick-borne diseases such as Lyme disease and the emergence of new tick-borne pathogens such as Powassan virus, understanding what distinguishes vectors from non-vectors, and predicting undiscovered tick vectors is a crucial step towards mitigating disease risk in humans. We ai...
Pathogen genomics have yielded important discoveries about the diversity of different microorganisms in the context of disease (Weinert et al., 2015). Comparative biology of animal immune systems and their links to infection susceptibility are less well understood. This is partly due to a lack of ...
