Article Synopsis
- Indonesia is experiencing H9N2 avian influenza, and this study examined the molecular characteristics of recent isolates from West Java using advanced techniques like RT-qPCR and Sanger sequencing.
- The analysis revealed that the new virus isolate has 11 amino acid changes compared to a previous isolate, maintaining its connection to the h9.4.2.5 subclade, while showing a specific mutation at antigenic site II.
- Molecular docking studies indicated that the recent isolate prefers binding to sialic acid found in mammals, which could have implications for the virus's behavior and transmission.
Background And Aim: Horses used for antisera production are repeatedly hyperimmunized to produce high levels of specific antibodies. This prolonged process can lead to various health issues, including amyloidosis, which involves the accumulation of amyloid proteins in organs and tissues, potentially causing organ dysfunction and failure. These horses are often retired when they no longer produce adequate antibody levels.

In the recent decades, bacterial-derived sialidases have been extensively studied for their ability to inhibit avian influenza virus infections. In this study, the antiviral activity of NanB sialidase from was investigated through analysis using Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells.

Objective: This study analyzed the phylogenetics and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and molecularly identified the source of ARGs in antibiotic-resistant isolated from pig farms in Banten Province, Indonesia.
Methods: Forty-four antibiotic-resistant isolates from fecal samples from 44 pig farms in Banten Province, Indonesia, were used as samples.
Background And Aim: The rapid development of aquaculture as a major food sector is accompanied by challenges, including diseases that affect tilapia farming worldwide. One such infectious disease caused by poses a serious threat to tilapia populations. Probiotics have emerged as a potentially safe preventive measure against infection.
