It reveals that amoebae exhibit high eight high-risk environmental antibiotics, accumulating quantities within their cells. Wild amoeboid strains from distant locations carry substantial antibiotic genes (ARGs) metal (MRGs), heterogeneity single species.

Background: Zoonotic diseases are globally distributed and have important public health, animal economic implications. People in low-income agriculture-based countries, including Bangladesh, frequently exposed to zoonotic pathogens due close interaction with domestic peri-domestic animals. Antibacterial resistance (ABR), multi-drug (MDR) problems, has been reported Bangladesh. Without updated knowledge of ABR, no drugs could be prescribed for effective treatment management different diseases.

Wild animals have been implicated as the source for disease outbreaks in humans (e.g., bubonic plague, Ebola, Hendra virus). Public health messaging intended to mitigate these zoonotic risks can inadvertently induce fear of wildlife, thereby resulting wildlife culling and habitat destruction. We propose a science-based social marketing campaign – Love Them & Leave protect people wildlife. This One Health will be primarily implemented by public communicators who work with government officials and/or local communities. The campaign’s six key messages emphasize inter-linkages between human well-being pandemic prevention encourage target audiences appreciate (love) while refraining from touching or occupying places that inhabit feed (leave them … alone). provide guidance tailoring global vision ecological socio-cultural contexts. is responsive recent call multilateral bodies governments prevent pandemics at source.
