Article Synopsis
  • Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral infection affecting livestock, leading to significant economic losses worldwide.
  • The study aimed to create more effective monoclonal antibody-based blocking ELISAs (mAb-bELISAs) for detecting antibodies against specific FMDV serotypes, in comparison to traditional polyclonal antibody-based assays.
  • The developed mAb-bELISAs demonstrated high diagnostic specificity and sensitivity for FMDV serotypes O, A, Asia1, and SAT2, outperforming existing methods and showing potential for widespread use in disease detection.

The study examines the using of Aboodh residual power series method and the Aboodh transform iteration method (ATIM) to analyze modified Korteweg-de Vries equation (mKdV) beside coupled Burger's equations in the framework of the Caputo operator. These sets of equations represent the non-linear wave description for various physical systems. Through APM and ATIM, the solution for the coupled Burger's equations and the mKdV equation get accurate dynamics information that will reveal the nature of their interactions.

In the age of progressive antimicrobial resistance and increased difficulty combating infections in immunocompromised hosts, there has been renewed interest in the use of nontraditional therapeutics for infections. Herein, we review the use of investigational non-pharmaceutical anti-infective agents targeting fungal, bacterial, and viral infections in patients with hematologic malignancies, focusing on those receiving hematopoietic cell transplantation or cellular therapies. We discuss immune checkpoint inhibitors, granulocyte transfusions, bone marrow colony-stimulating factors, bacteriophages, fecal microbiota transplantation, and virus specific T-cell therapy.

Antibiotics are generally applied for treatment or as subtherapeutic agents to overcome diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria including Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Enterococcus species in poultry. However, due to their possible adverse effects on animal health and to maintain food safety, probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics have been proposed as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in poultry production. In this study, the effects of prebiotics on the augmentation of broiler's indigenous gut microbiology were studied.
