cerebral cysticercosis in a wild bengal tiger (panthera tigris tigris) in bhutan: a first report in non-domestic felids. | the endangered bengal tiger (panthera tigris tigris) is a keystone species playing an essential role in ecology as well as in the social and spiritual lives of the himalayan people. the latest estimate of the bengal tiger population in bhutan accounts for 103 individuals. infectious organisms, including zoonotic parasites causing high burden in human health, have received little attention as a cause of mortality in tigers. taeniosis/cysticercosis, caused by the cestode taenia solium, is consider ... | 2021 | 33665082 |
pathogenesis and shedding of usutu virus in juvenile chickens. | usutu virus (usuv; family: flaviviridae, genus: flavivirus), is an emerging zoonotic arbovirus that causes severe neuroinvasive disease in humans and has been implicated in the loss of breeding bird populations in europe. usuv is maintained in an enzootic cycle between ornithophilic mosquitos and wild birds. as a member of the japanese encephalitis serocomplex, usuv is closely related to west nile virus (wnv) and st. louis encephalitis virus (slev), both neuroinvasive arboviruses endemic in wild ... | 2021 | 33769213 |
host-feeding preference and diel activity of mosquito vectors of the japanese encephalitis virus in rural cambodia. | japanese encephalitis (je) is the most important cause of human encephalitis in southeast asia, and this zoonosis is mainly transmitted from pigs to human by mosquitoes. a better understanding of the host-feeding preference of japanese encephalitis virus (jev) major vectors is crucial for identifying risk areas, defining bridge vector species and targeting adapted vector control strategies. to assess host-feeding preference of je vectors in a rural cambodian area where je is known to circulate, ... | 2021 | 33800999 |
