Diseases caused by tick-transmitted pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and protozoa are of veterinary and medical importance, especially in tropical and subtropical regions including Turkey. Hence, molecular surveillance of tick-borne diseases will improve the understanding of their...

A double-label immunochromatographic based assay (DL-ICA) was developed to monitor zearalenone (ZEN) levels in cereals, based on Eu³⁺ nanoparticles (EuNP). The DL-ICA exhibited excellent sensitivity, reliability and selectivity in real samples. It showed low limits of detection (0.21-0.25 µg/kg)...

Gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs), such as Trichostrongylidae, are important pathogens in small ruminants, causing significant losses in these livestock species. Despite their veterinary importance, GINs have not been studied in certain regions of the world. Therefore, much of their epidemiology...

To investigate the mouse-like animals and the carriers of Borrelia burgdorferi, Leptospira, Orientiatsutsugamushi, Ehrlichia, severe thrombocytopenia with fever syndrome virus(SFTSV), and hantavirus in the area along the Zeng River, Guangzhou, mouse-like animals were captured using the cage-trap...

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) poisoning caused by consumption of puffer fish is one of the major causes of death related to food poisoning in coastal areas of China. Tetrodotoxin poisoning occurs rapidly, and there are no specific antidotes at present. Therefore, detecting the content of TTX or identifying...

Vibrio alginolyticus, a Gram-negative halophilic zoonotic pathogen, can cause bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia in various aquaculture species and wound infections in humans. V. alginolyticus brings about huge economic losses in aquaculture all around the world. Hfq, a ubiquitous RNA-binding...
