The covid-19 pandemic brought a new perspective on health, showing that in a short period of time and with multidisciplinary approaches, it is possible to develop more effective technologies to enable more effective procedures and/or inputs to be used in the laboratory diagnosis of infectious diseases. This same type of strategy can be adopted to solve other major emerging or even endemic…
According to the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH), 75% of emerging infectious diseases in humans have an animal origin, and 60% of human pathogens are zoonotic. With the increasing deforestation and urbanization, populations of wild animals face modifications in their ecological compositions, which intensify the contact between wild/domestic animals and humans. This situation i…
Brazil is the world's largest exporter of chicken meat and ranks as the second-largest producer, with a production of 14.5 million tons in 2022, behind only the United States. The influenza virus (AIV) presents a variable pathogenicity according to its subtypes (H5 and H7). Identifying these subtypes in commercial poultry farms can lead to the imposition of sanitary barriers by importing …
Avian respiratory viruses are an important cause of economic losses to the poultry industry worldwide, from loss of production as well as from additional costs of diagnostics, vaccines, and antimicrobials to prevent and treat secondary infections. Three avian viruses (avian influenza virus-AIV, Newcastle disease virus -NDV-, and infectious laryngotracheitis virus- ILTV) are the most impor…
Innate immune responses are the most profound, generic and highly efficient means of host defense against invading pathogens including viruses. Wild birds act as reservoir for several viruses and thus posing continuous threats to both livestock and human beings. Viruses belonging to three main virus families are often found in wild birds: Orthomyxoviridae, Paramyxoviridae and Coronavirida…

Waterfowl are considered the main reservoirs of avian influenza viruses with limited clinical signs; while, some species of birds, such as poultry, can be severely susceptible to infection by the virus. Avian influenza virus infection in poultry can have substantial economic impact, considering Brazil is one of the world's largest exporters of chicken meat. This study aims to analyze the …
Viral zoonoses are diseases transmitted between animals and humans, with great importance in public health worldwide, causing thousands of deaths every year. Among the zoonotic viruses, bats have been proposed as probable reservoirs that originated coronaviruses, as well as several other highly relevant viruses, such as Ebola and rabies. Until now, more than 11,000 virus sequences have be…
