Article Synopsis
- - Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a contagious illness affecting cattle; this study employed 3ABC enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to test for non-structural protein (NSP) antibodies in both vaccinated and unvaccinated cattle in Iraq.
- - A total of 84 serum samples were tested, revealing a 34% overall seroprevalence, with higher infection rates in non-vaccinated animals (75%) compared to vaccinated ones (18%).
- - Results demonstrated that the 3ABC-ELISA is an effective diagnostic tool to differentiate between vaccinated and infected cattle, supporting its use in FMD prevention and control strategies.
Purpose: To evaluate bacterial agents as cancer biomarkers.
Methods And Results: Various bacterial species have been demonstrated to involve in human cancers. However, the data is not enough for better understanding of predominant specific species.
Passively acquired antibodies through colostrum will protect calves against etiological agents of neonatal calf diarrhea. Among them enteric diseases due to strains of Enterotoxigenic (ETEC) are the most commonly occurring form of colibacillosis in newborn calves. Specific antibodies against whole ETEC cells and total immunoglobulin G in dam serum, colostrum and calf serum were determined.
