Assessment of the circulation of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs from northern Portugal through combined analysis of antigens, DNA and parasite forms in blood

Sonia Gomes-de-Sa et al.

Summary: Dirofilariasis is a vector-borne disease that is prevalent in many countries and is transmitted to mosquitoes through infected dogs, cats, and wild canids. In Portugal, limited epidemiological data is available regarding the distribution and impact of this disease. A study was conducted on canine blood samples from the north of Portugal to assess the prevalence of Dirofilaria spp. The results indicate a high risk of D. immitis infection in dogs in this region.

Daniela Michlmayr et al.

Summary: Enterocytozoon bieneusi was identified as the cause of a foodborne outbreak of diarrhea affecting >70 individuals. The outbreak was associated with consuming food from a workplace canteen, with symptoms including diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain. The study highlights the importance of investigating E. bieneusi in foodborne outbreak investigations.

Diarrhoea-causing enteric protist species in intensively and extensively raised pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) in Southern Spain. Part I: Prevalence and genetic diversity

Alejandro Dashti et al.

Summary: This study revealed the molecular diversity of several protist species shared between humans and pigs in southern Spain. Blastocystis sp. and Balantioides coli were the most prevalent, while Giardia duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., and Enterocytozoon bieneusi showed higher prevalence in Large White pigs. Novel genotypes were also discovered in B. coli, Blastocystis sp., and E. bieneusi. The findings suggest a widespread exposure to potentially zoonotic protist enteroparasites in domestic pig populations.

Enterocytozoon bieneusi

Wei Li et al.

Summary: Enterocytozoon bieneusi is a microsporidium that causes over 90% of human microsporidiosis cases, with symptoms including diarrhea and wasting. Transmission occurs through ingestion of contaminated water and food. The parasite has over 500 genotypes, some of which are zoonotic and pose a threat to public health.

Detection of anti-HEV antibodies and RNA of HEV in pigs from a hyperendemic Italian region with high human seroprevalence

Camillo Martino et al.

Summary: Researchers investigated blood and liver samples from domestic pigs in the Abruzzo region of Italy and found a high prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies in swine serum, but no HEV RNA in liver samples. This suggests that while local pigs in Abruzzo are circulating HEV, the hypothesis of foodborne zoonotic transmission may not fully explain the high HEV prevalence in the region. Further research on wild fauna, carrier pigs, and the meat supply chain is needed to understand sources of human infection and occupational risks.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of Cryptosporidium infection in pigs in China, revealing that the disease is widespread in pig populations across the country, with varying infection rates in different regions influenced by farming methods and geographic factors. It is suggested that tailored control strategies and management measures should be developed based on regional differences to reduce transmission between pigs.

Summary: The study found various pathogens in wastewater samples from Guangzhou, some of which may originate from rodents. While certain pathogens detected are non-pathogenic to humans, others like Giardia and Enterocytozoon are known zoonotic pathogens. Further research is needed to monitor the occurrence of these waterborne pathogens in WWTPs in China.

Summary: This study is the first to describe Blastocystis infection in peafowls in China. Two genetically distinct subtypes, ST9 and ST7, were identified, with ST9 being the predominant subtype. The presence of zoonotic subtypes in peafowls suggests the potential risk of zoonotic transmission of Blastocystis to workers at peafowl farms.

Hepatitis E virus: host tropism and zoonotic infection

Bo Wang et al.

Summary: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but understudied pathogen that can cause acute viral hepatitis and, in some cases, chronic infection with other manifestations. Various strains of HEV from different animal species have been identified, with the ability to cross species barriers and infect humans through consumption of animal meat or direct contact. The discovery of animal HEV variants provides opportunities for developing useful animal models for research on HEV.

Summary: The study describes the morphological, biological, and molecular characterization of Cryptosporidium piscine genotype 7 from redeye tetras (Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae) and proposes a new species name, Cryptosporidium abrahamseni n. sp. Genetic analysis at 18S rRNA and actin loci showed that C. abrahamseni n. sp. is genetically distinct from other Cryptosporidium species. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed that C. abrahamseni n. sp. shares the closest genetic relationship with C. huwi.
