Monkeypox and other zoonotic poxviruses
Azkur, Ahmet Kürşat
: Poxviruses have caused the most important diseases for humanity for a long time. An important triumph was achieved
with the eradication of smallpox, defined by the World Health Organization in 1979. Poxviruses include significant agents that cause
important animal diseases that are non-zoonotic and zoonotic. While humanity has been battling COVID-19, a new battle against
monkeypox has recently emerged due to an increase in case numbers and the outbreak's global spread. The other points of the 2022
monkeypox outbreak that make it more serious than previous outbreaks are severe clinical outcomes such as encephalitis and death,
and also the higher transmission rate, which occurs at approximately 99% in men, especially those who have sex with men. The 2022
monkeypox virus outbreak has focused public and scientific attention on poxviruses and potential bioterrorism risks posed by
poxviruses. Therefore, it is aimed at writing a review that compiles information about monkeypox, cowpox, vaccinia, bovine papular
stomatitis, orf, pseudocowpox, gray seal pox, and red deerpox viruses

Efficiacy of ivermectin solution against Hirstiellosis in green iguanas- case report
Sevim, Kadir
Interest in green iguanas (Iguana iguana) as pet animals is increasing day by day. Compared to other pet animals, the diagnosis and treatment methods of reptilian diseases are limited. Considering that these diseases will also concern public health, new research is required. Hirstiellosis is a zoonotic ectoparasitic disease seen in green iguanas (Iguana iguana). Recommended therapies are mostly empirical, some of which can be low-impact or toxic. The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of ivermectin solution (5 mg/l) in the treatment of hirstiellosis and to provide preliminary data for further studies. Ivermectin solution was found to be effective in the treatment of three iguanas with the aforementioned disease, and no clinical side effects were found in the control examinations made at regular intervals.

Exploratory laparotomic diagnosis of renal cystic echinococcosis in a domestic cat from Hatay province of Türkiye and its molecular confirmation
Erdem, İpek
This case report was prepared to provide information about cystic echinococcosis detected in a twelve years old
domestic cat during experimental laparotomy. In the anamnesis, there was a complaint of progressive abdominal swelling. As a result
of clinical and radiological examinations, unknown intraabdominal formations were detected. At laparotomy, multiple cysts were
detected on the right and left kidneys. Molecular analysis revealed that these cystic structures are larval forms of Echinococcus
granulosus. The cysts are often found in the liver and lungs but they can arise less commonly in the brain, kidneys, muscle, bone and
heart. Renal cystic echinococcosis is rare and this note describes it, confirmed by molecular analysis in a domestic cat. For this reason,
it is thought that this note will contribute to the literature.

Evaluation of HMF levels in unbranded flower honeys in terms of food safety
İçli, Nesrin
5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is formed by reducing sugars in honey in acidic environments by the Maillard
reaction and is known as a carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic compound. The aim of this study is to investigate the toxic HMF
content of unbranded flower honey samples sold under the sun under inappropriate conditions and unsupervised on the highway sides
and to make an evaluation in terms of food safety. The quality of the analysis results was guaranteed by participating in an international
proficiency test. Analysis was performed on a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) device with Diode Array Detector
(DAD) and Refractive Index (RI) detectors- The HMF levels of 5 honey samples were determined to exceed the legal limit (40 mg kg-1
).
It is revealed by the current study that the honey sold on the roadside is not safe in terms of toxic HMF. In addition, 5 samples were
not found to comply with the regulation in terms of glucose + fructose content and 2 samples in terms of fructose/glucose ratio. Thus,
it has also been determined that these honeys are not reliable in terms of purity
