Fish and aquatic-derived zoonotic diseases have caused considerable problems in the aquaculture industry and fishery worldwide. In particular, zoonotic diseases can pose widespread threats to humans. With the world's growing population and potential global trade of aquaculture and fish, the risk of ...

The mosquito Culex pipiens is the primary vector of Rift Valley fever, West Nile, encephalitis, and Zika viruses, and periodic lymphatic filariasis. Developing insecticide resistance in mosquitoes demands the development of new approaches to fight these diseases. Paratransgenesis and RNAi...

In bank filtration (BF) technology, a production well is pumped near surface water and induces water flow from the river through a porous medium to the well by percolation into the soil. Several physical, chemical, and biological processes occur, providing a natural water treatment along the river...

The genus Raoultella contains Raoultella ornithinolytica (R. ornithinolytica), which was previously named as Klebsiella ornithinolytica. R. ornithinolytica is a Gram-negative bacillus that belongs to the family Enterobacteriaceae. This pathogen is normally present in aquaculture, and it has been...

This paper describes the epidemiology, prevalence, transmission, prevention and control of some infectious diseases in companion animals, livestock, wild animals and humans in Ontario, Canada, in 2022, including SARS-CoV-2; Echinococcus multilocularis, Leishmania spp. and SARS-CoV-2; antimicrobial...

A recent literature survey has shown that Agroecological Crop Protection (ACP) practices against pests, pathogens and weeds, generally alleviate viral zoonotic risks in public and veterinary health, contrary to conventional (agrochemistry-based) practices, which tend to increase the same. We...

The urban closed settle zone, Kano metropolis, Nigeria (12°N, 8.5°-8.75°E), is one of the oldest but growing and densely populated cities in Nigeria. That scenario leads to waste disposal and/or its management pressure whose magnitude needs to be assessed from time to time for public health...

This chapter covers the microbial spoilage and food safety concerns of the main milk and dairy products used as ingredients. Focus is given on the pathogenic microorganisms associated with milk and dairy products. The treatments employed to prevent spoilage and contamination of milk and dairy...

Bacterial pathogens are a great threat to fish production. Gram-negative bacteria are among the major bacterial fish pathogens and are zoonotic with the potential to infect humans. This cross-sectional study was conducted to isolate and identify major gram-negative bacteria from live and processed...
