Mycotoxins are highly toxic secondary metabolite synthesized by fungi, it widely exists in feed and feed raw materials. Mycotoxins not only cause an economic loss on animal husbandry but threaten the health of humans by residues in livestock products. Traditional physical and chemical strategies...

Prions are a special class of pathogens that cause a number of fatal neurodegenerative diseases in mammals. This paper presents a very simple and convenient biosensor for detecting prion protein, in which a prion protein aptamer was used as the molecular recognition group and gold nanoparticles...

Trichinella is a typical food-borne zoonotic parasitic nematode, which is distributed globally without host specificity. It causes substantial economic losses in animal husbandry and severely threatens food safety. In recent years, the application of omics technology has provided an effective means ...

Hendra virus (HeV) emerged as a zoonotic pathogen in the 1990s, causing low morbidity but high mortality in humans and horses. Pteropid bats are the natural reservoir of HeV and other important zoonotic viruses such as Nipah and Ebola viruses. Equivac HeV, manufactured by Zoetis (Parkville,...

Background: Trichinella spiralis is a zoonotic food-borne parasite. A disease caused by infection with T. spiralis is called trichinellosis in humans. It is important to investigate the epidemic situation and the surveillance of herds and then prevent infection in humans. Therefore, this study is...

Trichinellosis, which is caused by Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis), is a serious zoonosis. Pigs play an important role in the transmission of human trichinellosis. Characterizing the immune response to T. spiralis infection is key to elucidating host-parasite interactions. However, most studies...

Protozoan diseases seriously affect the health of human beings, livestock and poultry and lead to high economic and medical costs. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous structures formed through biological processes that play important roles in immune regulation. Studies have shown that ...

Ticks and tick-borne diseases pose a growing threat to human and animal health, which has brought great losses to livestock production. With the continuous expansion of human activities and the development of natural resources, there are more and more opportunities for humans to contract ticks and...

The purpose of this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of adding sodium diacetate on the fermentation quality and mycotoxin contents of fermented total mixed ration (FTMR), in order to provide a theoretical basis for the application of sodium diacetate in FTMR. A completely...

Environmental adaptation of ruminants was highly related to microbiota in the rumen. To investigate the diversity and composition of bacteria, fungi, and protozoa in the rumen of high-altitude animals, amplicon gene sequencing was performed using rumen fluid samples derived from both Tibetan goats...
