Abstract Trichophyton verrucosum causes a highly contagious disease in bovines and is occasionally transmitted to humans. Azoles are widely used as antifungal drugs bovines, act by targeting the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway. However, cases of treatment failure recurrence dermatophyte infections have been associated with mutations at drug target site. Currently, information on T. variants lacking. This study aimed classify isolated from animals exhibiting clinical symptoms cattle...

African swine fever (ASF), caused by virus (ASFV), is a fatal disease affecting wild and domestic pigs. Since China reported the first ASF outbreak in August 2018, ASFV has swept over neighbouring Asian countries. However, studies involving experimental pig-to-pig transmission Vietnam are lacking. The main objective of this study was to demonstrate pathobiological characteristics contact-exposed pigs estimate their basic reproduction number (R0) Vietnam. Fifteen were randomly divided into...

Careful cleaning and disinfection of pigpens is essential to prevent disease spread avoid the resultant economic losses. Hygiene in generally evaluated by visual monitoring supplemented with bacteriological monitoring, which includes counting total aerobic bacteria (TAB) and/or fecal indicator (FIB). However, these methods present drawbacks such as time labor requirements. As adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ubiquitous all living organisms including microorganisms, this study aimed directly...

Exosomes have been extensively studied as disease biomarker in humans, given their role transporting bioactive molecules. However, despite the great potential of exosomes noninvasive diagnostic markers and therapeutic nanocarriers for bovine diseases, few studies conducted on exosome. Thus, this study aimed to quantitatively qualitatively compare three isolation methods identify a suitable method serum. were isolated using ultracentrifugation alone (UC), combination size exclusion...

Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common cardiovascular disorder in dogs with a high prevalence, accounting for approximately 75% of all canine heart cases. MMVD complex and shows variable progression from mild leakage to severe regurgitation, potentially leading failure. However, molecular mechanisms age-related changes that govern progression, especially at early stage (B1) before development discernable clinical signs, remain poorly understood. In this prospective study,...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (ST) is one of the causative agents gastroenteritis in pigs. Pigs fed a diet supplemented with raw potato starch (RPS) have improved gut health by alteration microbiota composition and production short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). This study aimed to evaluate effects RPS supplementation reducing infection severity fecal shedding ST-infected pigs.The weaned experimental pigs were divided into two groups: CON (n = 6) corn/soybean-based TRT 5% RPS.

Humoral immunity is a major barrier limiting long-term outcome after organ transplantation. Especially, the production of antibodies directed against donor HLA/MHC antigens (i.e. donor-specific (DSA)) leading to antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) considered be factor negatively affecting allograft survival. DSAs IgG isotype are routinely measured in transplant patients. However, not all patients diagnosed with IgG-DSA develop ABMR events. Therefore, research better understanding mechanisms...

African swine fever, caused by fever virus (ASFV), is a highly contagious and fatal disease that poses significant threat to the global pig industry. The limited information on ASFV pathogenesis ASFV–host interactions has recently prompted numerous transcriptomic studies. However, most of these studies have focused elucidating transcriptome profiles ASFV-infected porcine alveolar macrophages in vitro. Here, we analyzed dynamic transcriptional patterns vivo nine organ tissues (spleen,...
