Background: The LD (lethal dose causing 50% mortality) of ethylene glycol (EG) and its associated toxicity in mice () were assessed by evaluating kidney function.
Aim: This study aimed to determine the acute toxicity of an oral lethal dose of 50% (LD) of EG, also degeneration, necrosis, and inflammatory cell invasion in kidney tubules of male rats () as an animal model.

Monkeypox is a zoonotic disease caused by the virus, a double-stranded DNA virus that belongs the virus family. It is known to infect both animals (especially monkeys and rodents) and humans and causes a rash similar to smallpox. Humans can become infected with monkeypox virus (MPXV) when they get in close contact with infected animals (zoonotic transmission) or other infected people (human-human transmission) through their body fluids such as mucus, saliva, or even skin sores.

Wild bats have never received antibiotic therapy, and the presence of antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) in bats indicates the level of AMR in the environment, the circulation of ESBL between humans or animals in Indonesia and wild animals is still not widely known. Whole genome sequencing is used to determine the circulation of ESBL in detail.

Background: Due to its deadly toxins and ability to produce enzymes, the commensal bacterium is found in animals, birds, and people. It may also be linked to certain medical disorders
Aim: This study was aimed at the prevalence and molecular detection of A and D genes from livestock-associated methicilin-resistant (LA-MRSA) in raw chicken meats sold in Abakaliki.
Methods: The butchers in the slaughterhouses provided 150 fresh raw chicken meat samples, which were then cultured and purified using mannitol salt agar.
Myostatin (MSTN) is an essential gene that regulates muscle growth and development in livestock animals, influencing meat production and carcass quality. This review looks at MSTN genetic diversity in a variety of animals, including cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry, focusing on correlations between particular mutations and phenotypic parameters such as muscle mass and growth rate. Mutations in the MSTN gene have been linked to desirable features such as greater body weight and higher meat quality, making it an ideal candidate for genetic selection in breeding programs.

Unlike other pathogen groups, the characteristics of APECs cannot be identified by a single group. Serotyping and biotyping are frequently performed for isolates found in colibacillosis infections.

The harmful effects of AI illness can affect both human and animal health and cause financial losses. Globally, the AI virus lacks political purpose and is not limited by geographical limits.

Aim: Considering the aforementioned, research at the Surabaya City Animal Hospital is necessary to determine whether the A gene may be detected in cat nasal swabs.
Methods: Samples were taken using a sterile cotton swab, and the transport medium was buffered peptone water.
Paratuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by subspecies (MAP). Typically, ruminant animals including cattle, buffalo, goats, and sheep are infected with MAP. Animals get infected with MAP in a number of ways, such as by eating or drinking contaminated food or water, or by nursing from an infected mother who may have contaminated teats or directly shed the organism in milk or colostrum.

In addition, several factors contributed to the prevalence of trichomoniasis and fall into three categories are management, cow, and bull-related factors.

Parathenic hosts are important as they can transmit larvae 2 (L) through direct transmission. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) techniques are needed to provide a three-dimensional image of each stage of larvae.

After being discovered for the first time in the United States in 1987, this illness quickly expanded to Canada. The disease was initially discovered in late 1990 in Germany, from where it quickly spread throughout Europe.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe livestock-associated methicillin-resistant (LA-MRSA) strains are prevalent in the poultry farming environment and are a common component of the bacterial microbiota on the skin and mucous membranes of healthy animals. The origin and spread of LA-MRSA are attributed to the use of antibiotics in animals, and close contact between people and different animal species increases the risk of animal exposure to humans. The epidemiology of LA-MRSA in poultry significantly changed when ST398 and ST9 were found in food-producing animals.

The virus known as classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is a member of the Flaviviridae family, specifically the genus Pestivirus. This disease is thought to be endemic in many Asian countries that produce pork as well as in several countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and elsewhere.

Aim: The aim of this research was to know how much dilution of cat blood can still be detected by Leucomalachite Green (LMG) and Takayama reagent.
Extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs) are β-lactamase enzymes produced by Gram-negative bacterial pathogens that harbor the ESBL genes. In addition, most ESBL genes are plasmid-mediated and usually encode a broader spectrum of antimicrobial resistance, especially to penicillins, first-generation, second-generation, and third-generation cephalosporins, as well as monobactam, such as aztreonam. has become an opportunistic pathogen, especially in poultry, and has been implicated in zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted to humans, resulting in public health problems.
