Prevalence of adenoviruses as ocular disease causatives in Saudi Arabia

Saleha Kheder Alatawi et al.

Summary: Although rare, there is a potential risk for Human Adenoviruses to mutate and rapidly spread, with severe consequences for public health and the economy. The geopolitical and religious significance of Saudi Arabia attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists, increasing the potential for HAdVs epidemics. Research on HAdVs has established a good understanding of their nature and transmission, but there is a lack of literature on epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East.

Associations Between Eight Earth Observation-Derived Climate Variables and Enteropathogen Infection: An Independent Participant Data Meta-Analysis of Surveillance Studies With Broad Spectrum Nucleic Acid Diagnostics

Josh M. Colston et al.

Summary: Diarrheal disease, a major health problem for children, is influenced by climate factors such as temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. This study analyzed data from multiple countries and found that different enteropathogens have different responses to climate variables. Temperature, soil moisture, and humidity are particularly influential parameters, and climate change may lead to shifts in the relative burden of diarrhea-causing agents.

Viral Eco-Genomic Tools: Development and Implementation for Aquatic Biomonitoring

Gomaa Mostafa-Hedeab et al.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive overview of conventional and up-to-date eco-genomic tools for aquatic biomonitoring of enteric viruses (EVs). The integration of various viral pollution detection methods is recommended for a comprehensive evaluation of viral pollution. Regular sampling throughout the year is suggested to establish an updated monitoring system for EVs. It is also recommended to implement molecular-based technologies for aquatic ecosystems biomonitoring due to their advantages.

Prevalence, Distribution, and Genotypes of Adenovirus and Norovirus in the Puzi River and Its Tributaries and the Surrounding Areas in Taiwan

Viji Nagarajan et al.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence, distribution, and genotypes of adenoviruses and noroviruses in the Puzi River and surrounding areas in Taiwan. The predominant genotypes in the water samples were HAdVs and PAdVs, with higher prevalence in the winter season. AdVs were significantly correlated with several water quality indicators, while NoVs were only correlated with temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Urban runoff and discharge from nearby livestock farms were identified as potential microbial pollution sources. Future research should focus on comparing the presence of AdVs and NoVs in known pollution sources and developing remediation strategies for minimizing viral contamination in the river ecosystem.
