Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPotential Role of Migratory Quail in Spreading of Some Zoonotic Pathogens in EgyptAhmed I. Youssef, Dalia H. MansourThis study aimed to illustrate the potential role of wild migratory quails in the epidemiology of some zoonotic pathogens in Egypt. Ninety four apparently healthy migratory quails were collected from public markets after being trapped during hunting season from the North Sinai. Oral, cloaca and organs (liver, lung and heart) swabs were collected for bacteriological and viral examination. Bacteriological examination … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 13 Dec 2014 · 7,530 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe European Wild Boar (Sus scrofa) as a Reservoir of Tuberculosis: Ecological Drivers and Management ImplicationsGiovanna Liguori, Renato Lombardi, Fabio Castagna et al.Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), an infectious disease primarily caused by Mycobacterium bovis and other members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex, represents a significant challenge to both animal and public health. Despite successful control programs in numerous regions, the presence of wildlife reservoirs, notably wild boar (Sus scrofa), impedes complete eradication and sustains disease propagation. bTB prevalence varies across Europe, with higher … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 3 · 16 Nov 2025 · 2,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence and Antibiotic-Sensitivity of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Pyogenic Skin Affections of Animals and HumanMaha I. Hamed, Sylvia O. Ahmed, Doaa S. Sayed, Hossam-Elden M. HassanMRSA infections commonly present as skin and soft tissue infections in man and animals. Treatment usually includes opening of abscess and drainage with or without antibiotic therapy.

Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of MRSA in man and animals with suppurative … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2019 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsLeptospirosis in the Tropics: When Prevention Doesn't Easily Sell as a Ton of CureRoger Lee MendozaProblem statement: Human leptospirosis -- the most widespread zoonotic disease -- thrives in tropical and subtropical climates. It is seldom addressed ex ante or prior to an outbreak or expected outbreak by governments of high-risk countries. Whether common, post-exposure treatment with antimicrobial drugs is more cost-efficient than reducing animal reservoir populations was the overarching question that guided this study. A … …American Journal of Economics and Business Administration, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAn Unusual Case of Leptospirosis Presenting as Glomerulonephritis With CrescentsFelipe Guedes Bezerra, Ana Flávia de Holanda Veloso, Yago Sucupira Amaral et al.Leptospirosis is a zoonosis caused by the spirochete Leptospira, which commonly affects the kidneys. Varied renal findings, most commonly tubulointerstitial nephritis, are found in human kidney biopsies and in vivo models. Remarkably, glomeruli are usually spared in this disease. However, some cases report evidence of glomerular damage. We describe a case of leptospirosis with fibroepithelial crescents, a rare histopathological finding. …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 6 Aug 2026 · 1,011 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Activities of Glutathione S-Transferase Isoenzymes in Strains of Fasciola Hepatica Susceptible and Resistant to TriclabendazoleV. Fernández, P. Ortiz, M.V. Solana, H. SolanaFasciolosis, a parasitic zoonosis of intrahepatic location, is caused by the trematode Fasciola hepatica. Its control is mainly based on the use of the anthelminthic Triclabendazole (TCBZ). The indiscriminate use of this drug has favored the development of anthelmintic resistance. The Glutation S-Transferases (GSTs) are multifunctional enzymes involved in the detoxification of xenobiotics and endogenous compounds using conjugation with endogenous … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2014 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
