Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat/Cas12a Mediated Multiplexable and Portable Detection Platform for GII Genotype Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus Rapid Diagnosis

Porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) is a member of the genus Alphacoronavirus in the family Coronaviridae. It causes acute watery diarrhoea and vomiting in piglets with high a mortality rate. Currently, the GII genotype, PEDV, possesses...

Doenças do sistema nervoso central em caprinos e ovinos no semi-árido Diseases of the central nervous system in goats and sheep of the semiarid

O conhecimento das doenças dos animais domésticos, nas diferentes regiões do Brasil é importante para determinar formas eficientes de profilaxia e controle. Este trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a epidemiologia, sinais clínicos e patolo...

Veterinary Epidemiology

The author describes the specifics of veterinary epidemiology, in particular its domain and objectives. The large diversity of data sources are partly limited by the lack of standardized nomenclature and registries in many animal species. E...

Role of Goats in the Epidemiology of <i>Coxiella burnetii</i>

Since its first description in the late 1930s, Q fever has raised many questions. Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent, is a zoonotic pathogen affecting a wide range of hosts. This airborne organism leads to an obligate, intracellular lif...

Life Stage-Specific Burdens and Impacts of Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Beef Cattle in the United States: A Review of Diagnostics, Impacts on Productivity, and Immune Response

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) remain a significant challenge to productivity and sustainability in beef cattle systems in the United States, contributing to subclinical reductions in growth, reproductive performance, and overall herd he...

Natural Products against Human and Veterinary Trichomonads: From In Vitro Activity to Future Therapeutic Perspectives.

The biological functions of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi extracts and their application prospects in livestock and poultry production.

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

Toll-like receptor 2 coordinates induction of IL-22 in lung macrophages following organic dust-induced inflammation

IntroductionOrganic dust exposures, particularly in occupational settings, induce airway inflammation and contribute to the development and progression of chronic lung disease and impaired tissue regeneration. Interleukin-22 (IL-22) is a pl...

Activity-based costing and process costing in dual-purpose cattle farms.

Comparison of blind end closure techniques in equine ileum.

Assessing the Microbial Quality of Shrimp (<i>Xiphonaeus kroyeri)</i> and Mussels (<i>Perna perna</i>) Illegally Sold in the Vitória Region, Brazil, and Investigating the Antimicrobial Resistance of <i>Escherichia coli</i> Isolates

The consumption of seafood is crucial for food security, but poor hygiene along the food production chain can result in low microbiological quality, posing significant risks for public health and seafood quality. Thus, this study aimed to a...

Occurrence and Residue Concentration of Coccidiostats in Feed and Food of Animal Origin; Human Exposure Assessment

Occurring central Italy, 262 unmedicated feed samples and 353 samples of animal tissues and eggs are tested for coccidiostats between 2012 and 2017. A validated multi-residue HPLC-MS/MS method is applied for the simultaneous determination o...

Occurrence, antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic diversity of Devriesea agamarum strains isolated from captive lizard collections.

Saccharomyces boulardii RC009 as an alternative to prophylactic antibiotics: effects on broiler chickens, performance, and gut microbiome

This study evaluates the effects of supplementing broiler chicken feed with the probiotic Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii RC009 as a sustainable alternative to prophylactic antibiotics. The focus was on productive performance, gut m...

Predicting Microbial Protein Synthesis in Cattle: Evaluation of Extant Equations and Steps Needed to Improve Accuracy and Precision of Future Equations

Predictions of microbial crude protein (MCP) synthesis for beef cattle generally rely on empirical regression equations, with intakes of energy and protein as key variables. Using a database from published literature, we developed new equat...

EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECT OF BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA VIRUS- II INFECTION IN DAIRY CATTLE

The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical and virologic features of the mucosal and thrombocytopenic BVDV infection in infected dairy cattle. Strategy of examination included clinical examination of diseased animals, serum ...

Diversity of Rickettsia species in collected ticks from Southeast Iran

Abstract Rickettsia occurs worldwide and rickettsiosis is recognized as an emerging infection in several parts of the world. Ticks are reservoir hosts for pathogenic Rickettsia species in humans and domestic animals. Most pathogenic Rickett...
