Review: Risk of Monkeypox virus transmission through the handling and consumption of food. Image Credit: Dotted Yeti / Shutterstock
While in most cases, the disease outcomes are mild and recede in two to three weeks, complications such as ocular damage and vision loss can occur with ocular lesions, and damage to the pulmonary, digestive, and nervous systems can occur in patients with comorbidities.
Results The results from the top-down assessment revealed no evidence of monkeypox transmission through the handling or consumption of food but did report the possibility of monkeypox contamination in meat from infected animals. However, the studies reviewed in the top-down approach did not support the possibility of monkeypox virus contamination in any food sources other than bushmeat.
Though the study could not find evidence in the literature on the survival of the monkeypox virus in food, data from studies on other Poxviridae viruses suggested that viruses can survive in different types of food even under refrigeration .

Fidelity varies in the symbiosis between a gutless marine worm and its microbial consortium - MicrobiomeBackground Many animals live in intimate associations with a species-rich microbiome. A key factor in maintaining these beneficial associations is fidelity, defined as the stability of associations between hosts and their microbiota over multiple host generations. Fidelity has been well studied in terrestrial hosts, particularly insects, over longer macroevolutionary time. In contrast, little is known about fidelity in marine animals with species-rich microbiomes at short microevolutionary time scales, that is at the level of a single host population. Given that natural selection acts most directly on local populations, studies of microevolutionary partner fidelity are important for revealing the ecological and evolutionary processes that drive intimate beneficial associations within animal species. Results In this study on the obligate symbiosis between the gutless marine annelid Olavius algarvensis and its consortium of seven co-occurring bacterial symbionts, we show that partner fidelity varies across symbiont species from strict to absent over short microevolutionary time. Using a low-coverage sequencing approach that has not yet been applied to microbial community analyses, we analysed the metagenomes of 80 O. algarvensis individuals from the Mediterranean and compared host mitochondrial and symbiont phylogenies based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms across genomes. Fidelity was highest for the two chemoautotrophic, sulphur-oxidizing symbionts that dominated the microbial consortium of all O. algarvensis individuals. In contrast, fidelity was only intermediate to absent in the sulphate-reducing and spirochaetal symbionts with lower abundance. These differences in fidelity are likely driven by both selective and stochastic forces acting on the consistency with which symbionts are vertically transmitted. Conclusions We hypothesize that variable degrees of fidelity are advantageous for O. algarvensis by allowing the faithful transmission of their nutritionally m

Fecal microbial transplants show lack of predictability when no prior antibiotic treatment is given to recipientA fecal microbial transplant—giving a recipient fecal matter from a donor to change the recipient's gut microbial community in the colon—has been a successful last resort therapy for people with recurrent Clostridium difficile infection after multiple rounds of suppressive antibiotics have eliminated the recipient microbial community.
