Methods applied to the Diagnosis of Cattle Trypanosoma Vivax Infection: An Overview of the Current State of The Art
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2022 Nov 8. doi: 10.2174/1389201024666221108101446. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrypanosoma vivax bovine trypanosomiasis is a relevant disease in domestic ungulates in Latin America causing different types of livestock losses, particularly in African and South American countries, leading to loss of millions of dollars/year related to dairy and meat production. In addition, T. vivax trypanosomiasis requires intensive veterinary care. While vector control is a feasible measure to manage disease spreading, the search for accurate diagnostic tools still represents a gap in routine veterinary practices ...

Livestock Genomics for Developing Countries – African Examples in Practice
In conclusion, genomic applications are currently benefiting African livestock systems in a variety of ways, including on genetic improvement and more broadly, such as assisting in system characterization. This has emerged relatively recently, largely within the last 5 years. The expectation for the future is that African livestock systems will increasingly benefit from genomics, particularly if the various issues constraining this (as discussed in this paper) are addressed. The rate at which this will occur will large depend on the level of investment in African livestock genetic improvement.

Simultaneous and Positively Correlated NET Formation and Autophagy in Besnoitia besnoiti Tachyzoite-Exposed Bovine Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils
Given that B. besnoiti tachyzoites infect host endothelial cells of vessels in vivo, they become potential targets for professional phagocytes [e. g. polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN)] when in search for adequate host cells or in case of host cell lysis. It was recently reported that B. besnoiti-tachyzoites can efficiently be trapped by neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) released by bovine PMN. So far, the potential role of autophagy in parasite-triggered ET formation is unclear. Thus, we here analyzed autophagosome formation and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase α (AMPKα) in potentially ET-forming innate l...

A review on breeding and genetic strategies in Iranian buffaloes ( Bubalus bubalis )
AbstractThe aim of current study was to review breeding progress and update information on genetic strategies in Iranian buffaloes. Iranian buffalo is one of the vital domestic animals throughout north, north-west, south and south-west of Iran with measurable characteristics both in milk and meat production. The species plays an important role in rural economy of the country due to its unique characteristics such as resistance to diseases and parasites, having long productive lifespan and showing higher capability of consuming low-quality forage. In Iran, total production of milk and meat devoted to buffaloes are 293,000 a...

Ticks Carry More Diseases Than Just Lyme. Here ’ s What You Need to Know
Chris Rose lost ten years of his health—not to mention his gallbladder—to a single tick bite. The tick bit in 2010 and Rose, now a 50-year-old network engineer in Chapel Hill, N.C., thought little of it at the time.
“It was one of those lone star ticks,” he says, “and I just picked it off me. It wasn’t a big deal.”
Before long, however, Rose began developing crushing chest pains, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and other symptoms. Doctors screened him for heart disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and gallstones, and even removed his gallbladder to see if that might ease the intesti...

Molecular and Antigenic Properties of Mammalian Cell-Expressed Theileria parva Antigen Tp9
This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of The U.S. Animal Welfare Act (United States Code, Title 7, Chapter 54, sections 2131–2159) and Animal Welfare Regulations (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 9, Chapter 1, Subchapter A, parts 1–4). The protocol was approved by the Washington State University Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, protocol number 4980. Therapeutic drugs were administered according to the manufacturer's dosing instructions. Six MHC class I A10 or A14 haplotype-matched (27) Holstein-Friesian steer calves obtained at 3–6 months of age were...

Food Industry Exposes Five Billion People to Toxic Chemicals that Kill
Industrially produced trans fat is responsible for up to 500,000 premature deaths from coronary heart disease each year, according to WHO. Credit: Shutterstock.By Baher KamalMADRID, Feb 10 2023 (IPS) The food industry continues to intensively use toxic chemicals in their products, some of them provoking heart diseases and death. Trans fat is just one of them, adding to contaminating fertilisers, pesticides, microplastics and a long etcetera.
“Trans fat is a toxic chemical that kills, and should have no place in food,” warns Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), informi...

Association analysis and functional annotation of imputed sequence data within genomic regions influencing resistance to gastro-intestinal parasites detected by an LDLA approach in a nucleus flock of Sarda dairy sheep
CONCLUSIONS: This study performed on a large experimental population provides a list of candidate genes and polymorphisms which could be used in further validation studies. The expected advancements in the quality of the annotation of the ovine genome and the use of experimental designs based on sequence data and phenotypes from multiple breeds that show different LD extents and gametic phases may help to identify causative mutations.PMID:34979909 | PMC:PMC8722200 | DOI:10.1186/s12711-021-00690-7
