    Chemical investigation of the screened active extract from fungal endophyte Corynespora cassicola associated with medicinal plants Anonna squamosa collected in Timor Island (Indonesia) led to the isolation of four depsidone compounds corynesidone A (1), B (2), C (3) and D (4). The individual compound was tested for their antibacterial property against multi drug resistant bacteria and for...

    Prolonged exposure to sunlight can harm human skin, causing issues like sunburn, skin cancer, and oxidative stress. To counteract these effects, kojic acid is used in cosmetics like creams and lotions because it can inhibit hyperpigmentation. Kojic acid is also used in the food industry to prevent browning. Due to its wide range of uses in cosmetics, food, and pharmaceuticals, among other...

    Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a common human pathogen causing acute hepatitis. Human HAV belongs to species Hepatovirus A, genus Hepatovirus, family Picornaviridae. HAV strains of Hepatovirus A are only found in humans (genotypes I-III) and monkeys (genotypes IV-VI), with no non-primate reservoir host. We screened serum and faeces of 70 alpacas and llamas from Bolivia for novel viruses using...

    Multiple fruit bat species within the genus Pteropus have been confirmed as reservoir hosts for Henipaviruses, e.g. Nipah virus (NiV), Hendra virus (HeV) and Cedar virus (CedV). Nevertheless, numerous henipaviruses and henipavirus-like viruses are identified in many other bat species worldwide, including Egyptian Rousette bats (Rousettus aegyptiacus, ERB), supporting the possible roles of ERB...

    Dust can contain microorganisms that are both pathogenic and resistant to antimicrobials (AMR), which can potentially transmit airborne infectious and zoonotic diseases. Agriculture is one of the largest producers of primary particle matter, accounting for approximately 20% of global fine dust emissions. The tenacity of aerosolised pathogens depends on the characteristics of the particles,...

    Introduction
    Schistosomiasis (Bilharzia) is a Neglected Tropical Disease caused by trematode parasites, with Schistosoma haematobium being a primary cause of urogenital Schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). After a prepatent period, paired adult worms produce eggs in the venous plexus of the bladder, which are shed in urine from infected humans. However, some eggs become trapped in...

    Objectives:
    Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 induces antibodies that reduce the risk of severe disease. Because IgG subclasses differ in their ability to activate complement, to bind Fc receptors and neutralize viruses, it is crucial to understand how IgG subclass responses differ between vaccine platforms.

    Design:
    IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4 binding antibodies against SARS-CoV-2...

    Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular protozoan parasite of high medical relevance, especially in immunocompromised individuals and during pregnancy. Current therapeutic approaches are limited in their efficacy across the parasite’s life cycle stages and often associated with adverse effects. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly cationic (KAMPs) and proline-rich peptides (PrAMPs),...

    The ongoing threat of zoonotic pandemics, exemplified by outbreaks of avian influenza, for example in Europe and North America, underscores the persistent risk of future pandemics originating from animal husbandry.
    In order to mitigate pathogen transmission in and out of animal husbandry, numerous biosecurity measures are implemented on farms. However, with an increasing consumer demand for...

    Livestock manure is a primary source of antibiotic resistance in agricultural soils, with land-use type and climatic factors significantly influencing the levels and distribution of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, the combined effects of climate change and shifts in land use on the spread of antibiotic resistance from livestock manure to soil microbiomes remain largely unexplored....

    Q fever is caused by Coxiella burnetii (Cb), a zoonotic pathogen mainly shed by ruminants during abortion or parturition. Human infection can occur through inhalation of contaminated aerosols. Although a commercial vaccine exists for ruminants, it can induce adverse reactions and does not fully prevent bacterial shedding, highlighting the need for a more effective and safer vaccine. The...

    Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are important food-borne pathogens. The severity of clinical symptoms can vary from diarrhea to haemolytic-uremic syndrome and death. In STEC, the Shiga toxin subtype and the occurrence of additional virulence factors have an impact on the clinical manifestation. STEC from food can vary in serotype and virulence associated genes (VAGs) from those...

    Egyptian rousette bats (ERBs) are natural reservoirs of Marburg virus (MARV, family Filoviridae) – etiologic agent of viral hemorrhagic fever with high mortality rates in humans and non-human primates. Recent studies have sought to better understand the immune-related features that grant bats the ability to asymptomatically harbor zoonotic viruses. To elucidate mechanisms of MARV co-adaptation...
