A genome-wide evolutionary analysis of several viruses found no signs of pre-spillover adaptation. Instead, detectable ...

Researchers from the Complexity Science Hub and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna have dissected the complex interactions involved in zoonoses, which annually affect over two billion people ...

Zoonotic diseases jump species to infect humans, and scientists have been studying this transmission chain for many years. Researchers in Austria aimed to perform a comprehensive analysis of the ...

In a recent study published in the journal PNAS, researchers investigated how large-scale livestock rearing may result in the emergence and transmission of novel, potentially zoonotic pathogens. They ...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently sounded the alarm concerning a growing risk of disease outbreaks in Africa attributable to zoonotic pathogens, after finding a 63 per cent rise in the ...

The rapid identification and genomic analysis of zoonotic pathogens are critical for safeguarding public health and controlling outbreaks. PathoBase, an advanced computational platform, provides a ...

Ecosystem restoration projects aim to restore biodiversity and associated compromised ecosystem services. Evidence is persuasive of the increased risks of zoonotic diseases with degradation and ...

Humans have been getting infected by ancient bacteria and viruses for at least 37,000 years. Now, for the first time, pathogen DNA has uncovered a pivotal disease "turning point" that happened 6,500 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3 - Good health and wellbeing. Zoonotic diseases are infectious diseases in which the pathogen (whether it be a virus, bacterium, ...
