Ticks are the main vectors for the transmission of bacterial, protist and viral pathogens in Europe affecting wildlife and domestic animals. However, some of them are zoonotic and can cause serious, sometimes fatal, problems in human health. A systematic review in PubMed/MEDLINE database was...

In this study, the burden of disease, costs, and animal losses caused by the seven most common zoonoses in humans and the two most common zoonoses in animals are calculated between 2016-2018 in Turkey. It aims to contribute to the literature by providing a holistic framework on the costs and burden ...

Many infectious pathogens are transmitted to dogs by vector arthropods. Some of the most well-known agents causing canine vector-borne diseases (CVBDs) are Anaplasma spp., Ehrlichia canis, Leishmania infantum and Dirofilaria immitis. These rickettsial and parasitic agents pose a public health risk...

Background: Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a prion disease that is always fatal in cattle and is considered an important risk factor for human health. Genetic polymorphisms that alter prion proteins may be associated with susceptibility or resistance to infectious spongiform...
