Summary: Large-scale fish mortality occurred in fish farms across several parts of Kerala in August 2018 and 2019, following heavy rainfall. The deaths were mainly caused by the highly infectious disease epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS), with severe infections observed in freshwater and brackish water environments affecting fish species such as snakeheads and mullet. The severity of the outbreak was linked to sudden changes in water quality associated with the floods, including lower water temperature, pH, total alkalinity, and total hardness.

Summary: Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS) is an emerging disease that causes high morbidity and mortality in yellow catfish. The causative agent for EUS in T. fulvifraco is not fully determined. An epidemiological investigation in Hubei province, China, revealed that EUS outbreaks mainly occur in March and April when the water temperature ranges from 13°C to 20°C. Diseased T. fulvifraco exhibit circular-hole shaped ulcers on the skin, and ciliate infections are commonly associated with early EUS. Further diagnoses showed that ciliated parasites, Ichthyophthirius multifiliis and Epistylis horizontalis, heavily infected the specimens, causing severe damages on the skin and gills. In contrast, bacterial infection with Aeromonas versonii was found in only 12.5% of the specimens. These findings suggest that ciliated parasites are the primary agents for early EUS in T. fulvifraco.

Summary: The proportion of penicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus causing bloodstream infections has increased in recent years, and these strains show diverse population structures and genetic characteristics. The expansion of penicillin-susceptible S. aureus is not driven by a single clone, and the reliability of the Vitek((R)) 2 automated microbiology system in determining penicillin resistance is questionable.

Summary: A low-cost option for detection and identification of Cryptococcus neoformans in immunosuppressed individuals, including those with HIV/AIDS, is presented in this study. The nested PCR (5.8SrDNA-ITS) combined with the latex agglutination test can accurately detect suspected Cryptococcus spp. This method provides a cost-effective alternative for public hospitals in Brazil and other locations.

Summary: Ticks play a crucial role in transmitting zoonotic pathogens between humans and animals, supporting the One Health concept. While there are differences in the relevance of TBDs in human and veterinary medicine, a One Health approach can lead to synergistic benefits by promoting the development of new diagnostic tools. Collaboration in addressing existing gaps and opportunities in a One Health framework is essential for tackling tick-borne diseases effectively.

Summary: Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the large intestines. Despite advances in treatment, there are still no definitive therapies for UC. Statins, which have anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antioxidant properties, have shown potential benefits in managing UC. Research on animal models has demonstrated the ability of statins to reduce disease activity, inflammation, and oxidative stress in UC.

Summary: To meet the needs of CRC patients, continuous updates to colorectal cancer screening have been made. The most significant advice is to start screening at age 45 for those at average risk. There are stool-based tests and visual inspections for CRC testing. However, there have been debates about the importance of these tests due to a lack of validation in screening results. Recent advancements in AI and genetics have led to the development of new diagnostic tests that require validation in diverse populations and cohorts. In this article, present and emerging diagnostic tests are discussed.
