Current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic reinforces the importance of investigating the possible consequences of human-animal interaction. Use of the One Health concept can elucidate the relationship between chiropterans, the environment, and etiological agents, as well as assist in understanding the chain of disease transmission and control and prevention actions in public and animal health. The main…
Mastitis is a multifactorial disease caused by approximately 140 microorganisms, related to infectious or environmental origin, with varying degrees of infectivity. In addition to the economic losses of disease, both for producers and for the dairy industry by lower industrial output and lower shelf period of dairy products, the impact of these agents in the public health context, as many…
Currently, among the emerging diseases, most are zoonoses, and bats have an important role as source of infection or transmission of infectious agents. Fungal diseases such as histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and paracoccidioidomicosis are reported in different species of animals, and their agents can be isolated from grottos, caverns, and animals feces. Rabies can be transmitted by bats a…
The canine visceral leishmaniasis (LCV), known as the American visceral leishmaniasis (LVA) or kala-azar is a anthropozoonosis caused by the flagellate protozoan of the genus Leishmania, with worldwide distribution. In Brazil, the agent responsible for the disease is Leishmania (Leishmania) chagasi, transmitted by the bite of the female of the species Lutzomyia longipalpis , and the main …
