ectoparasites are considered as the main vectors of zoonotic diseases. they play an important role for transmission of wide variety of diseases such as cchf, leishmaniosis and plague to human and vertebrates. mammals, especially rodents, are the most important reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. the aim of this study was to identify the ectoparasites of rodents captured in korram-abad, lurestan pr...

Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic swine pathogen and a major public health concern in Asia, where it emerged as an important cause of bacterial meningitis in adults. While associated with food-borne transmission in Asia, zoonotic S. suis infections are mainly occupational hazards elsewhere. To identify genomic differences that can explain zoonotic potential, we compared whole genomes of 98 S. su...

Influenza A viruses remain a significant health problem, especially when a novel subtype emerges from the avian population to cause severe outbreaks in humans. Zoonotic viruses arise from the animal population as a result of mutations and reassortments, giving rise to novel strains with the capability to evade the host species barrier and cause human infections. Despite progress in understandin...

background: zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis (zcl) is a neglected disease with public health importance that is common in many rural areas of iran. in recent years, behavioral resistance and/or bait shyness against the common rodenticide among reservoir hosts of zcl have been reported. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of klerat® and zinc phosphide against natural reservoi...

UNLABELLED An infectious disease that is transmitted from animals to humans, sometimes by a vector, is called zoonosis. The focus of this review article is on the most common emerging and re-emerging bacterial zoonotic diseases. The role of "One Health" approach, public health education, and some measures that can be taken to prevent zoonotic bacterial infections are discussed. KEY POINTS A z...
