This eight-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate whether adding yeast cell wall extract mixed with bacteria producing mycotoxin-degrading enzymes (YEMDE) to an aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁)-contaminated diet affects the growth performance, liver health, antioxidant status, and intestinal microbiota ...

An antigenic cystatin-like protein (Ts-CLP) selected from cDNA library of intestinal infective larvae at 6 h post-infection, was expressed by prokaryotes in the form of a histidine-tagged protein (rTs-CLP). The fusion protein was purified by an on-column refolding procedure using Ni-NTA affinity...

Objectives: Trichinella spiralis is a zoonotic parasite with a complex parasitic life cycle and exposed to animals or humans by infectious meat. To control transmissions of T. spiralis through the food chain to humans, sensitive and selective multihost sera-diagnosis is urgent needed for monitoring ...

This experiment was conducted to obtain fumonisin B₁ aptamers and to develop a rapid test method based the effect of fumonin B₁ and colloidal gold. Used the systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment technology of non-immobilized target to screen the fumonisin B₁ aptamers, whose...

Coreius guichenoti is a rare fish found in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in China and has significant ecological and economic value. In this study, a bacterial strain (F416) was isolated from diseased C. guichenoti and was identified as Staphylococcus warneri. Its median lethal dose (LD₅₀) ...

Zearalenone (ZEA), a mycotoxin produced mainly by fungi belonging to Fusarium species in foods and feeds, causes a serious hazard to humans and animals. Numerous studies have revealed that ingesting ZEA can disrupt the reproductive function and impair the reproductive process in animals. This...

Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) involves multiple pathogens, shows diverse lung lesions, and is a major concern in calves. Pathogens from 160 lung samples of dead cattle from 81 cattle farms in Northeast China from 2016 to 2021 were collected to characterize the molecular epidemiology and ...

Rapid and user-friendly diagnostic tests are necessary for early diagnosis and immediate detection of diseases, particularly for on-site screening of pathogenic microorganisms in aquaculture. In this study, we developed a dual-sample microfluidic chip integrated with a real-time fluorogenic...

Previous studies have shown that ELAVL1 play multiple roles and may be associated with immune response. However, it remains largely unknown about the direct roles of ELAVL1 during a bacterial infection. After reporting the zebrafish ELAVL1a is a maternal immune factor that can protect zebrafish...

Background: Babesiosis is caused by the invasion of erythrocytes by parasites of the Babesia spp. Babesia microti is one of the primary causative agents of human babesiosis. To better understand the status of the disease, discovering key biomarkers of the different infection stages is crucial....
