Anthrax is reported with frequency but poorly understood in Southeast Asian countries including Vietnam. In Vietnam, anthrax surveillance is national. However, case detection, prevention, and control are implemented locally at the provincial level.
Understanding the role of aerosols is critical to effective management and protection to reduce the transmission of viral diseases. However, quantifying the role of virus aerosols is inherently multidisciplinary, bridging the fields of virology, medicine, interfacial chemistry, and aerosol physics.
Quickly understanding the genomic changes that lead to pathogen emergence is necessary to launch mitigation efforts and reduce harm. In this study, we tracked in real time a 2022 bacterial plant disease outbreak in U.S. geraniums (Pelargonium × hortorum) caused by Xhp2022, a novel lineage of Xanthomonas hortorum.
Isogenic cells respond in a heterogeneous manner to interferon. Using a micropatterning approach combined with high-content imaging and spatial analyses, we characterized how the population context (position of a cell with respect to neighboring cells) of epithelial cells affects their response to interferons.
HIV-related comorbidities appear to be related to chronic inflammation, a condition characterizing people living with HIV (PLWH). Prior work indicates that cannabidiol (CBD) might reduce inflammation; however, the genetics underpinning of this effect are not well investigated.
Xanthomonas euvesicatoria the primary causal agent of bacterial spot of pepper (BSP), poses a significant global challenge, resulting in severe defoliation and yield losses for pepper growers. We present the whole genome sequences of eight X. euvesicatoria strains associated with BSP in Vietnam.
Arthropod-borne viruses, also known as arboviruses, are usually transmitted between hosts by the bite of blood-feeding arthropods, including mosquitoes, sandflies and ticks. A sub-group of arboviruses, which include dengue virus (DENV), Zika virus (ZIKV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV), are preferentially transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus mosquitoes.
More pets may be getting sick from their owners than scientist have previously known. Reverse zoonoses are infectious diseases that jump from humans to animals.
Adolescents and young adults (young people) with HIV (YPWH) often struggle with treatment self-management. Many have symptoms due to HIV disease, medication side-effects, or comorbid conditions.
Bluetongue disease is a reportable animal disease that affects wild and farmed ruminants, including antelope, buffalo, cattle, deer, elk, goat, and sheep. The disease is caused by bluetongue virus (BTV), which is mainly transmitted by Culicoides biting midges.
