In this study, we used historical data from 1991 to 2020 from northern Vietnam and a simulation model to investigate the effects of different vaccination strategies on livestock outbreaks. We developed a novel approach combining semi-synthetic data generation and a sliding windows model fitting routine to estimate disease transmission parameters from surveillance data and address the temporal mismatch between pathogen transmission dynamics and disease reporting. Results showed that vaccination leads to a significant reduction in buffalo mortality, with reactive and increasing vaccination campaigns having the largest impact in reducing outbreak size. Reactive and decreasing vaccination campaigns initially controlled outbreaks, but mortality increased as soon as vaccination ceased, highlighting the need for sustained, long-term vaccination. In scenarios where populations had high natural immunity, the impact of vaccination was less pronounced, though still evident, suggesting that prioritizing vaccination efforts for more susceptible populations may provide a greater return on investment in outbreak prevention and control. Simulation models can offer valuable insights into vaccination and control strategies, providing tools to compare and evaluate potential outbreak scenarios. Our findings underscore the value of mathematical and simulation approaches to overcome data challenges and underreporting in global disease management for anthrax and other neglected diseases.

Environmental surveillance, particularly through wastewater monitoring, has proven valuable for tracking viral circulation and variant shift during the COVID-19 pandemic, yet its application to HEV is still limited. In this review, we systematically analyzed HEV sequences across Europe, focusing on environmental sources from a genetic perspective. Of more than 13,100 HEV sequences deposited in the NCBI database, only 2.4 % (316/13,118) originated from environmental samples, including wastewater, surface water, and biosolids. Additional typing data from the literature revealed highly uneven geographic distribution, with 97 % of environmental sequences reported from Italy, France, the United Kingdom (UK), Spain, Sweden, and Germany. HEV-3 was the dominant genotype, while HEV-1 and HEV-4 were occasionally detected. Subtypes 3c and 3f were most common, but their prevalence varied across countries and sample types. Some countries, such as France, Sweden, and the UK, exhibited divergent subtype patterns between humans, animals, and environmental sources, whereas others, such as Spain and Germany, showed more consistent distributions. These findings highlight the importance of integrating clinical, veterinary, and environmental surveillance to better understand HEV transmission in Europe under a One Health framework.

In southern China, persistent salmonellosis cases linked to poultry and pork highlight the need for advanced genomic tools to trace contamination sources and understand transmission dynamics. This study integrates whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and spatiotemporal data to investigate the molecular epidemiology of Salmonella in Jiangxi Province, a region with high incidence of foodborne salmonellosis. Analysis of 206 Salmonella isolates (2015–2021) revealed dominant sequence types (ST34, ST19, ST155, and ST469) associated with human clinical cases and food sources. High-resolution single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) phylogenetic analysis revealed well-supported, monophasic clades corresponding to the major sequence types. This analysis provided strong genomic evidence for zoonotic transmission, with human clinical isolates being genetically almost identical (≤5 SNPs) to isolates from poultry (ST34/ST19) and pork (ST155/ST469) sources. Clonal clusters of monophasic Typhimurium variants (77.9 % of ST34 isolates) exhibited widespread geographic distribution across 11 prefectures, and the high genetic similarity among isolates suggests potential cross-regional transmission through contaminated food supply chains. High antimicrobial resistance (AMR) rates were detected against ampicillin (68.0 %), tetracycline (61.0 %), and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (54.0 %), with multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains (60.2 %) prevalent in clinical and food-derived isolates. ST34 exhibited the highest MDR prevalence (75.4 %), driven by the presence of Salmonella Genomic Island 1 (SGI1) in many isolates.

Point mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region (QRDR), specifically in gyrA, were identified as the primary mechanism for ciprofloxacin resistance. Spatial clustering identified significant clusters in live poultry markets, slaughterhouses, and retail meat, emphasizing the role of foodborne zoonotic reservoirs.

From 2024 to 2025, we collected ticks from cattle, with standardised sampling occurring twice per month. Ticks were screened for CCHFV RNA by RTq-PCR.
