Preliminary study of molecular identification of Mycobacterium bovis from cow's milk in Lorestan (Iran).

Bovine tuberculosis is one of the most important common infectious diseases between humans and livestock. Cow's milk can be investigated as one of the transmission reservoirs of the disease. Our study was conducted to investigate the presence of Mycobacterium bovis (M.

An Overview of the Types of Adjuvants Used in the Vaccination Industry And Their Mechanisms of Action.

The widespread use of efficient vaccines against infectious diseases is regarded as one of the most significant advancements in public health and techniques for preventing and protecting against infectious diseases and cancer. Because the purpose of vaccination is to elicit an appropriate, powerful, and long-lasting immune response against the pathogen, compounds such as adjuvants must be used to enhance these responses. Adjuvants have been widely used since their discovery to boost immune responses, prevent diseases, and activate protective immunity.

Restraint of VP1 Protein of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus using Specific Antiviral Peptides: an Investigation.

Foot and mouth diseases are among the important threats in the animal husbandry industry which lead to huge economic losses. In this regard, the current project aimed to inhibit the VP1 protein of foot and mouth disease viruses using specific peptides. For this purpose, a wide range of potential antiviral peptides were collected from the database.

Research Note: Overview of fowl adenovirus serotype 4: structure, pathogenicity, and progress in vaccine development.

Fowl adenovirus serotype 4 (FAdV) is highly pathogenic and lethal to chickens, especially broilers, which has emerged as one of the most important economic losses for the poultry industry in the past few years. Although inactivated vaccines have been widely used to control FAdV diseases, with the passage of time and the advancement of technology, live attenuated vaccines and subunit vaccines have also been developed, which are more attractive and effective vaccine candidates. This is an overview of avian adenoviruses, especially FAdV, which is related to the structure, pathogenicity of adenoviruses in birds, development and strategies used to make and use vaccines using different methods.

Investigation of the Proportion of and in Sheep and Goat Milk.

Despite the implementation of brucellosis eradication programs in Iran, this disease is still endemic and highly prevalent among ruminants in this country. The infection of small ruminants with may play a significant role in the continuation of brucellosis among the herds of ruminants. This study investigated the proportion of and in 150 samples of sheep and goat's raw milk which were obtained from Lorestan and Hamadan provinces in the western part of Iran using the PCR method.

Short Communication: Prevalence of in Raw Milk of Healthy Sheep and Goats.

, one of the most important bacterial pathogens transmitted through milk, causes listeriosis in humans and animals. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of in raw milk of healthy sheep and goats in the west of Iran (Lorestan Province) by touchdown PCR (TD-PCR). spp.

Computational design of a novel multi-epitope vaccine against Coxiella burnetii.

Query fever is a zoonotic disease caused by Coxiella burnetii. There is no universal method for the prevention of this disease. Recombinant vaccine is a potent strategy that can be utilized for this purpose.

Determination of immunodominant scaffolds of Com1 and OmpH antigens of Coxiella burnetii.

Today, there is an increasing emphasis on recombinant vaccines to eliminate the side effects of conventional vaccines such as whole-cell bacteria. Query fever is an emerging disease that causes irreparable complications for both humans and domestic animals. The cause of this disease is Coxiella burnetii, a gram-negative intracellular bacteria.
