TLDR
This review has highlighted COVID-19, a newly emerging zoonotic disease of likely bat origin that has affected millions of humans along with devastating global consequences and the implementation of One Health measures is highly recommended for the effective prevention and control of possible zoonosis.Abstract:
Most humans are in contact with animals in a way or another. A zoonotic disease is a disease or infection that can be transmitted naturally from vertebrate animals to humans or from humans to vertebrate animals. More than 60% of human pathogens are zoonotic in origin. This includes a wide variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, parasites, and other pathogens. Factors such as climate change, urbanization, animal migration and trade, travel and tourism, vector biology, anthropogenic factors, and natural factors have greatly influenced the emergence, re-emergence, distribution, and patterns of zoonoses. As time goes on, there are more emerging and re-emerging zoonotic diseases. In this review, we reviewed the etiology of major zoonotic diseases, their impact on human health, and control measures for better management. We also highlighted COVID-19, a newly emerging zoonotic disease of likely bat origin that has affected millions of humans along with devastating global consequences. The implementation of One Health measures is highly recommended for the effective prevention and control of possible zoonosis.read more

Fever of Unknown Origin
TL;DR: In this article , the authors propose to pay close attention to the patient history, aided by the development of molecular diagnostic tests, to distinguish infections from other causes and to rule out self-limited fevers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify two divergent strategies for building adaptive capacity: simplifying processes and diversifying processes, and compare simplifying and diversification responses to assess how these pathways differentially enhance or degrade the adaptive capacity of farming systems in the context of the triple threat of climate change, biodiversity loss, and global food insecurity.
