Summary Faeces samples from diarrhoeic and non-diarrhoeic lambs goat kids aged 1–45 days were examined for enteric pathogens. Cryptosporidium parvum was detected in both (45%) (42%) but not animals. F5 + (K99 ) and/or F41 Escherichia coli strains isolated 26% 22% of the kids, respectively, although these strains, which did produce enterotoxins ST I or LT I, found with similar frequencies A − E. strain a lamb (0·6%). Verotoxigenic (4·1% 8·2%, respectively) there no association between...

The antiviral activity versus flaviviruses of artemisinin, a safe drug obtained from Artemisia annua and commonly used to treat malaria, has been investigated using as an IN VITRO model bovine epithelial cells embryonic trachea (EBTr) infected with the cytopathic strain Oregon C24V, viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV), which is member Flaviviridae family. Antiviral was estimated by degree protection against effect BVDV on host reduction in BVDV-RNA release culture medium. To induce intermediate...

Disruption of circadian rhythms, which are regulated by the clock machinery, plays an important role in different long-term diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Melatonin has been reported to alleviate promotion and progression HCC, but potential contribution modulation is unknown. We investigated effects melatonin mice received diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (35 mg/kg body weight ip) once a week for 8 weeks. was given at 5 or 10 mg kg

Autophagy is an important survival pathway and participates in the host response to infection. Beneficial effects of melatonin have been previously reported animal model acute liver failure (ALF) induced by rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV). This study was aimed investigate whether protection against injury RHDV associates modulation autophagy. Rabbits were infected with 2 × 10(4) hemagglutination units a isolate received 20 mg/kg at 0, 12, 24 hr postinfection. autophagy, increased...

Abstract The sphingosine kinase 1/sphingosine 1‐phosphate (SphK1/S1P) system is involved in different pathological processes, including fibrogenesis. Melatonin abrogates activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) and attenuates profibrogenic pathways animal models fibrosis, but it unknown if protection associates with its inhibitory effect on the SphK1/S1P axis. Mice treatment groups received carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) 5 μL g −1 body wt i.p. twice a week for or 6 weeks. was given at 10...

The effects of dietary fish oil and digestible protein (DP) levels on muscle fatty acid composition susceptibility to lipid peroxidation were studied in two representative species for human nutrition, from fresh seawater, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). In trout, higher concentrations fat DP led weight gain (g/d) (P = 0.001 P 0.043 respectively). Additionally, an interaction effect was observed this species, since the only evident when...

In a previous study, we found fecal colonization with multiresistant Escherichia coli exhibiting high-level trimethoprim resistance in 19% of diapered children attending six day-care centers Houston, Tex. To examine the potential risk factors associated this finding, conducted cross-sectional studies among 203 12 centers, 51 well-child clinic (controls), and 64 medical students. The prevalence trimethoprim-resistant E. (30%) was higher (P less than 0.001) control (6%) or students (8%)....

ABSTRACT Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) causes lethal fulminant hepatitis closely resembling acute liver failure (ALF) in humans. In this study, we investigated whether cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a cytokine with hepatoprotective properties, could attenuate damage and prolong survival virus-induced ALF. Twenty-four rabbits were infected 2 × 10 4 hemagglutination units of RHDV. Twelve received five doses CT-1 (100 μg/kg) starting at 12 h postinfection (hpi) (the first three every 6 then...
