The effects of ectoparasites on humans and animals include both direct and indirect aspects, such as blood-sucking,allergies, tissue damage, and transmission of pathogens. Therefore, they have important public health significance. Better control ectoparasites to depends on further understanding...

Schistosomiasis is a catastrophic zoonotic disease and parasitic illness caused by Schistosoma (an aquatic parasite) for most mammals. Domestic animals, including cattle, sheep, goat, pig and so on, are susceptible to Schistosoma. This paper systemically reviewed the life cycle, transmission chain, ...

To evaluate the effects of dietary aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on growth performance, antioxidant capacity, histological changes and accumulation in juvenile marbled eel (Anguilla marmorata), triplicate groups of marbled eel with initial body weight of [(6.41±0.10) g] were fed with four diets containing 0, ...

The present study investigated whether quercetin mitigated fescue toxicosis-induced cardiovascular injury via the heart-gut axis. Twenty-four commercial Dorper lambs were stratified by body weight and assigned randomly to diets in one of four groups: endophyte-free without quercetin (E-,Q-),...

Hookworm infection is a major public health problem that threatens about 500 million people throughout tropical areas of the world. Adult hookworms survive for many years in the host intestine, where they suck blood, causing iron deficiency anemia and malnutrition. Numerous molecules, named...

This study investigated the prevalence of Toxoplasma gondii in pork samples collected from slaughterhouses and markets in Shanghai and Guangdong Province from 2018 to 2020, and analyzed the main risk factors. Then, we developed a real-time quantitative PCR method to detect the T. gondii repetitive...

Purpose: To identify the pathogen of the mixed infectious disease of adenovirus and bacteria in laying hens, so as to guide the treatment of the disease in breeding farms and avoid greater economic losses. Method: Samples of heart, liver, spleen, gland, stomach, small intestine and other tissues of ...

With the development of intensive farming, the demand for early and rapid detection of various pathogens in large-scale pig farms has gradually increased. The aim of this study was to establish the broad-spectrum magnetic nanoparticle visualization detection (UNVs) field detection technology for...

Ancylostoma ceylanicum is a zoonotic hookworm, which mainly causes iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in humans and animals. Hookworm platelet inhibitor (HPI) has been isolated from adult Ancylostoma caninum and linked to the pathogenesis of hookworm associated intestinal hemorrhage and IDA. However,...

Aspartyl protease inhibitors (APIs) from parasitic intestinal nematodes are highly immunogenic and have been suggested as potential vaccine antigens. Ac-API-1 from Ancylostoma caninum showed strong immunogenicity and its polyclonal antibodies could specifically recognize the excretory/secretory...
