Pathology, Tissue Distribution, and Phylogenetic Characterization of Largemouth Bass Virus Isolated from a Wild Smallmouth Bass (Micropterus dolomieu) Open
We performed a diagnostic disease investigation on a wild smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu) with skin ulcers that was collected from Lake Oahe, South Dakota, following reports from anglers of multiple fish with similar lesions. Gross …

Population and pan-genomic analyses of <i>Staphylococcus pseudintermedius</i> identify geographic distinctions in accessory gene content and novel loci associated with AMR Open
Staphylococcus pseudintermedius is a common representative of the normal skin microbiota of dogs and cats but is also a causative agent of a variety of infections. Although primarily a canine/feline bacterium, recent studies suggest an exp…

A comprehensive epidemiological approach documenting an outbreak of H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza virus clade 2.3.4.4b among gulls, terns, and harbor seals in the Northeastern Pacific Open
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b continue to have unprecedented global impacts on wild birds and mammals, with especially significant mortality observed in colonial surface-nesting seabirds and in some …

Evolutionary genomic analyses of canine <i>E. coli</i> infections identify a relic capsular locus associated with resistance to multiple classes of antimicrobials Open
Infections caused by antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli are the leading cause of death attributed to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide, and the known AMR mechanisms involve a range of functional proteins. Here, we employed a p…

Household Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from Humans to Pets, Washington and Idaho, USA Open
SARS-CoV-2 likely emerged from an animal reservoir. However, the frequency of and risk factors for interspecies transmission remain unclear. We conducted a community-based study in Idaho, USA, of pets in households that had >1 confirmed SA…

Non-carbapenemase producing carbapenem-resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> isolated from the urinary tract of a dog. Open
Currently, there is limited use of carbapenem antimicrobial drugs in veterinary medicine, and practitioners may be unfamiliar or unaware of this type of resistance, its significance on routine antimicrobial susceptibility test reports, and…

An outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 with high mortality in mink (Neovison vison) on multiple Utah farms Open
The breadth of animal hosts that are susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and may serve as reservoirs for continued viral transmission are not known entirely. In August 2020, an outbreak of SARS-CoV-2…
