However, compared with the high number of molecules originating from plants in clinical use, and with the countless unique adaption mechanisms that animals have developed over the course of evolution to cope with environmental constrains, there is still few investigations on wild animals with biomedical objectives, and field studies are far fewer. A major limitation is insufficient funding, the main causes of which we analyze. We argue, however, that fieldwork is a key driver in generating new scientific knowledge as part of a One Health approach, by observing/documenting and understanding the diverse and largely unexplored biological processes evolved by animals adapted to unusual environmental conditions, which would be extreme conditions for humans. These conditions do not only refer to extreme temperatures, since lack of food or water, high pressures or lack of oxygen, are clearly extreme constraints. To conduct this research, there are serious limitations we propose to address. Specific techniques and methods are requested, not only to work in extreme environments, but also to minimize the ecological footprint of field work. The erosion of biodiversity is a major threat. The reduction of animal disturbance, a key issue, requires specific technologies and expertise. An ethical approach is requested, for the sake of transparency and to comply with the Nagoya Protocol on genetic resources. An interdisciplinary expertise and a meticulous planning are requested to overcome the field constraints and interface the associated laboratory work. We recommend focusing on the major threats to global human health today, which wild animals appear to resist particularly well, such as antibioresistance and diseases associated with lifestyle and senescence.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101146,"journal":{"name":"Science in One Health","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100096"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11773462/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143061868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study provides a current overview of the Mpox epidemic as of 2024, emphasizing significant developments and epidemiological trends. The World Health Organization (WHO) initially designated a clade Ⅱb outbreak as a global health emergency in May 2022, which was subsequently managed through vaccination and public health interventions by May 2023. In September 2023, a resurgence of cladeⅠ in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) resulted in a 160 % increase in cases by 2024. The WHO declared this increase a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) in August 2024. The outbreak timeline indicates substantial rises in cases and fatalities, especially among children under 15 in the DRC. Regional analysis reveals that the European Region initially recorded the highest incidence of cases and fatalities. In contrast, regions including African Region (AFRO), Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMRO), South-East Asia Region (SEARO), and Western Pacific Region (WPRO) exhibited a rise in cases, indicating a potential spread or resurgence of the health event. Gender disparities in transmission pathways were apparent, with males exhibiting higher case numbers, particularly via person-to-person contact. The research highlights the necessity of ongoing surveillance, global collaboration, and focused public health measures. The discourse addresses obstacles in vaccine distribution and the necessity for emergency use authorizations, highlighting the imperativeness for adaptive strategies in public health management.

Recently, they have also been found in non-hospital environments, such as poultry farms. While most studies in Ethiopia have focused on these bacteria's antibiotic resistance patterns in hospitals, information regarding their prevalence and resistance in veterinary settings, particularly poultry farms, is limited. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and antibiotic resistance patterns of &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt; isolated from chicken droppings on poultry farms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Methods&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;A cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2022 to June 2022. A total of 87 poultry farms were included in this study, and pooled chicken dropping samples were collected. The samples were subsequently transferred to buffered peptone water and cultured on MacConkey agar. Species of the isolates were identified via routine biochemical tests, including oxidase, catalase, urease, Simon's citrate, sulfide indole motility medium, triple sugar iron agar and growth at temperatures of 37 °C and 42 °C. The Kirby–Bauer disk diffusion technique was used for antibiotic susceptibility testing. The data were entered into &lt;em&gt;EpiData&lt;/em&gt; version 4.6 and then exported to &lt;em&gt;SPSS&lt;/em&gt; version 26 for analysis. Fisher's exact test was used to observe an appropriate association between independent variables and the occurrence of isolates. The results are presented in the text, figures and tables.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Results&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div&gt;Among the 87 poultry farms, 41 (47.1 %) were positive for &lt;em&gt;Pseudomonas&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Acinetobacter&lt;/em&gt;. Among these strains, 24 (27.6 %) &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; strains and 13 (14.9 %) &lt;em&gt;A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt; strains were recovered. &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; showed complete resistance to tetracycline (24, 100.0 %) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (24, 100.0 %). Additionally, there was a high rate of resistance to ciprofloxacin (13, 54.2 %) and amikacin (12, 50.0 %). Similarly, 13 (100.0 %) &lt;em&gt;A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt; isolates were resistant to tetracycline, and 12 (92.3 %) were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. However, both isolates presented lower resistance rates to piperacillin-tazobactam (4, 9.8 %) and cefepime (7, 17.1 %). Both &lt;em&gt;A. baumannii&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;P. aeruginosa&lt;/em&gt; exhibited multidrug resistance in 10/13 (76.9 %) and 16/24 (66.7 %) of the strains, respectively.

The detection rates of perchlorate and chlorate in infant formulas were 46.0% and 98.7%, with mean contents of 9.98 μg/kg and 112.01 μg/kg, and the maximum values of 151.00 μg/kg and 1475.00 μg/kg, respectively.
