The zoonotic origin of the COVID-19 pandemic virus highlights the need to fill the vast gaps in our knowledge of SARS-CoV-2 ecology and evolution in non-human hosts. Here, we detected that SARS-CoV-2 was introduced from humans into white-tailed deer more than 30 times in Ohio, USA during November...

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) infection causes severe diarrhea in pigs and can be fatal in newborn piglets. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by cells that transfer biologically active proteins, lipids, and RNA to neighboring or distant cells. Herein, the morphology, particle...

The present study intended to identify the effects of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast on production performance and parameters related to the quality of layers' eggs. Effects of yeast on immune titers after routine vaccinations against Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis were also...

Background and Aim: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that attacks the respiratory and digestive tract. The SARS-CoV-2 showed systemic characteristics with various clinical symptoms from subclinical to fatal (causing...

In 2020, disruptions and risks from COVID-19 led to meatpacking plant shutdowns and reductions in total slaughter relative to 2019. Debate emerged surrounding the vulnerability of the packing industry and whether larger plants were more prone to reductions in slaughter compared to smaller plants....

This book takes into account the major threats of animal, human and environmental health. This book provides the core concepts of One Health approach with a critical focus on the key challenges i.e., zoonotic diseases and environmental degradation. The objective is to cover epidemiological...

We conducted a comprehensive review of livestock farming in Bangladesh to unveil current challenges and potential opportunities in this agriculture sector. Six challenges were selected as the major constraints to livestock farming in Bangladesh: climate change and natural hazards, poor veterinary...

This article describes the research being conducted at the St. George's University in Grenada regarding aquatic animal health and conservation (sea turtles, coral reefs, invasive lionfish, freshwater biodiversity, aquaculture, food security and climate change adaptation), vector-borne diseases...

Wild animals are considered reservoirs for emerging and reemerging viruses, such as the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Previous studies have reported that bats and ticks harbored variable important pathogenic viruses, some of which could cause potential diseases ...

Bats have received considerable recent attention for infectious disease research because of their potential to host and transmit viruses, including Ebola, Hendra, Nipah, and multiple coronaviruses. These pathogens are occasionally transmitted from bats to wildlife, livestock, and to humans,...
