The continued detection of zoonotic viral infections in bats has led to the microbial fauna of these mammals being studied at a greater level than ever before. Whilst numerous pathogens have been discovered in bat species, infection with lyssaviruses is of particular significance from a zoonotic perspective as, where human infection has been reported, it is invariably fatal.

متن کاملZoonotic onchocerciasis.
To the Editor: Major human onchocerciasis reported in Africa and Central/ South America is caused by Onchocerca volvulus. This blackfly-mediated parasitosis is also called ‘river blindness’, often resulting in visual disturbance in the endemic area. Ocular involvement by O. lupi, a canine parasite, has recently been the subject of focus. In Japan, infestation of O. volvulus or O. lupi is not se...
متن کاملZoonotic filariasis.
Filariae of animals, especially those of mammals, often infect humans and typically produce cryptic infections. These "zoonotic" infections have been reported from virtually all parts of the world including temperate zones. Infections may be symptomatic or not, and the parasites are found in surgical tissue biopsy specimens or, more rarely, are removed intact from superficial sites such as the ...
