Background: Despite numerous genetic studies on Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV), many strains from the Middle East remain misclassified or unclassified. Genotype 1 (GI-1) is found globally, while genotype 23 (GI-23) has emerged as the predominant genotype in the Middle East region, evolving continuously through inter- and intra-genotypic recombination. The GI-23 genotype is now enzootic in Europe and Asia.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been increasingly explored for its potential benefits in various dermatological conditions. This study aimed to systematically review the efficacy and safety of PRP in the treatment of melasma.

- Equine influenza is a significant respiratory infection in horses, spreading quickly even with vaccines available.
- Researchers screened 621 horses from 57 barns in Saudi Arabia, collecting nasal swabs from those showing respiratory symptoms and finding 39 pools positive for the equine influenza virus (EIV).
- Genetic analysis revealed the virus strains matched a specific clade (H3N8) similar to those found in the USA in 2019, indicating the need for enhanced surveillance to track genetic changes and improve vaccine development for EIV.
