A recent collaborative study between the UTMB One Health Laboratory and Bach Mai hospital in Vietnam uncovered molecular evidence of a canine-like coronavirus (CCoV-HuPn-2018) in patients hospitalized with pneumonia. Previously detected only in Malaysia and Haiti, this finding suggested that the virus may be more geographically widespread than known and highlights the importance of One Health surveillance approaches in detecting novel emerging virus pathogens before they spread.

UTMB and UANL researchers detected boosepivirus B1 in a nasal swab from a cow with respiratory disease in Mexico. The discovery hints that this little-known virus could be a newly recognized cause of bovine respiratory disease.

Professor Anabel Rodriguez of Texas A&M University studies zoonotic disease education, prevention, and awareness among agricultural workers in Texas. This article describes One Health-related findings from her work as well as her perspectives on research accessibility, interdisciplinary collaborations, and ensuring that research findings get translated back to the populations they seek to serve.
