Article Synopsis
- - Diarrhea in lambs, a critical health issue in ovine medicine, leads to substantial economic losses due to high mortality rates and treatment costs, with Salmonella and enterotoxigenic E. coli as primary causes.
- - The study aimed to analyze genetic variations, gene expression, and biomarkers related to inflammation and oxidative stress in lambs with diarrhea, alongside identifying different strains of the pathogens involved.
- - Results indicated the presence of specific virulence genes associated with E. coli and Salmonella in all diarrheic lambs, as well as identified genetic markers related to immune response, antioxidant activity, and gastrointestinal health.
Background: Mastitis in goats is unquestionably a grave concern, with far-reaching implications for both animal well-being and productivity, while also presenting a potential threat to public health.
Aim: The study aimed to compare culture methods and multiplex PCR (m-PCR) in the detection of the most three common mastitis-causing pathogens (, , and spp.) and investigate the gene expression, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), serum concentrations of immunological and antioxidant indicators linked to mastitis in Shami goats.
