High-throughput RNA dataset of viral transcripts associated with chickens from various poultry farms in North and South Kuwait.

Screening of poultry using RNA sequencing could enable the timely detection and identification of emerging viral pathogens, facilitating proactive measures to prevent and control potential outbreaks in the poultry industry. The reported dataset is of reads from RNA-Seq libraries consisting of approximately 130 gigabytes of RNA-sequencing data corresponding to blood, trachea and cloaca of chicken from various farms of North and South Kuwait regions. The sequences were quality-filtered and first mapped with the Chicken reference genome.

Microbiological Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality in Chicken Fattening Houses.

This study was conducted at one of the largest poultry companies in Kuwait during November and December 2019 to evaluate the microbiological threats of (APEC), spp., and to chickens in fattening houses by counting and identifying the microorganisms by culturing and pyrosequencing analysis. During the fattening cycle, the temperature and humidity ranged between 23.

Detection of multidrug-resistant subsp. serovar Typhi isolated from Iraqi subjects.

Background And Aim: Enteric fever initiated by subsp. serovar Typhi (. Typhi) is among the most consistent disease worldwide, particularly in developing countries.

Bayesian estimation of ELISA and gamma interferon test accuracy for the detection of bovine tuberculosis in caudal fold test-negative dairy cattle in Kuwait.

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is endemic in Kuwait; cattle identified as TB-positive using the caudal fold test (CFT) are culled. We used a Bayesian approach to estimate the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) of the IFNγ assay and ELISA, which are not routinely used in Kuwait in CFT-negative dairy cattle. Blood samples from CFT-negative cattle ( n = 384) collected from 38 dairy farms were tested by IFNγ assay and ELISA.
