Predicting Zoonotic Risk of Influenza A Viruses from Host Tropism Protein Signature Using Random Forest.

International journal of molecular sciences
Influenza A viruses remain a significant health problem, especially when a novel subtype emerges from the avian population to cause severe outbreaks in humans. Zoonotic viruses arise from the animal population as a result of mutations and reassortmen...

Support vector machine applied to predict the zoonotic potential of E. coli O157 cattle isolates.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Sequence analyses of pathogen genomes facilitate the tracking of disease outbreaks and allow relationships between strains to be reconstructed and virulence factors to be identified. However, these methods are generally used after an outbreak has hap...

Predictive modeling based on machine learning for mapping risk areas of human sporotrichosis in southeastern Brazil.

Research in veterinary science
Sporotrichosis, a zoonotic mycosis with a growing public health impact, requires innovative methods to map risk areas. This study applied machine learning techniques, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), and Decision Trees (DT) to integrate sociodemogra...

Exploring community knowledge, perceptions, and the impacts of anthrax among farming communities living in game management areas in Zambia: A qualitative study using a hybrid approach.

PLoS neglected tropical diseases
Anthrax remains a neglected zoonotic disease of critical public and animal health significance in Zambia, particularly in regions with active human-wildlife-livestock interfaces such as the Western, Southern and Eastern provinces of Zambia. This stud...

Applications of machine learning in animal and veterinary public health surveillance.

Revue scientifique et technique (International Office of Epizootics)
Machine learning (ML) is an approach to artificial intelligence characterised by the use of algorithms that improve their own performance at a given task (e.g. classification or prediction) based on data and without being explicitly and fully instruc...

Predictive analysis across spatial scales links zoonotic malaria to deforestation.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
The complex transmission ecologies of vector-borne and zoonotic diseases pose challenges to their control, especially in changing landscapes. Human incidence of zoonotic malaria ( Plasmodium knowlesi) is associated with deforestation although mechani...

ANTIFUNGAL ACTIVITY OF Cymbopogon nardus (L.) Rendle (CITRONELLA) AGAINST Microsporum canis FROM ANIMALS AND HOME ENVIRONMENT.

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo
Dermatophytosis is a common zoonosis in urban centers. Dogs and cats have played an important role as its disseminators. Environmental decontamination is essential for the prevention of its propagation to humans and animals. However, sanitizers or di...
