Ticks are able to transmit various pathogens-viruses, bacteria, and parasites-to their host during feeding. Several molecular epidemiological surveys have been performed to evaluate the risk of tick-borne pathogens in China, but little is known about pathogens circulating in ticks from eastern...

Phlebotomus chinensis sandfly is a neglected insect vector in China that is well-known for carrying Leishmania. Recent studies have expanded its pathogen repertoire with two novel arthropod-borne phleboviruses capable of infecting humans and animals. Despite these discoveries, our knowledge of the...

Objective: We aim to investigate the species composition of ticks and the pathogen characteristics they carry in the Argun port area of the China-Russia border. Materials and Methods: Ticks were collected in surrounding grassland, mixed forest land, and other different habitats around the Argun...

Bartonella species has been validated as blood-borne bacteria in mammals and has a substantial opportunity to be harbored by a variety of hematophagous arthropod vectors. Bats, along with their ectoparasites, are recognized worldwide as one of the natural reservoir hosts for these bacteria....

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on inflammation response mediated by nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T cells). The MAC-T cells were treated with AFB1 at different...

Tick-borne zoonoses are emerging globally due to changes in climate and land use. While the zoonotic threats associated with ticks are well studied elsewhere, in Australia, the diversity of potentially zoonotic agents carried by ticks and their significance to human and animal health is not...

Activation of complement system in central nervous system (CNS) of the patients suffering from prion diseases or animal models infected with prion agents experimentally is reported repeatedly, but which pathways are involved in the complement system during prion infection is not well documented....

Objective: To In vestige and analyze the mycotoxin contamination in feed materials in 2019. Methods: The content of vomiting toxin, corn gibberelone and aflatoxin B1 in the bulk feed materials purchased by the molecular companies of anyou group was rapidly detected by colloidal-gold immunoassays or ...

Aim: Bacterial intestinal disease is one of the main diseases of Bombyx mori. The purpose of this study is to explore the inhibitory effects of the broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide SAAP-148 on the pathogenic bacteria of bacterial intestinal disease in B. mori, and to provide references for...

To investigate the prevalence of parasite in various species of animal in Changsha Ecological Zoo, 57 animal fecal samples were collected and tested by saturated salt water floating and precipitation methods. In this investigation, the animal parasite infection rate was 52.63%, the positive rate in ...
