Pre-Harvest Non-Typhoidal Control Strategies in Commercial Layer Chickens.

Non-typhoidal (NTS) infections in poultry, particularly in commercial-layer chickens, pose a critical risk to food safety and public health worldwide. NTS bacteria can remain undetected in poultry flocks, contaminating products and potentially leading to gastroenteritis in humans. This review examines pre-harvest control strategies for NTS in layer chickens, including biosecurity protocols, vaccinations, feed additives, genetic selection, and environmental management.

Epigenetic Mechanisms Induced by to Promote Its Survival in the Host.

Tuberculosis caused by the obligate intracellular pathogen, , is one among the prime causes of death worldwide. An urgent remedy against tuberculosis is of paramount importance in the current scenario. However, the complex nature of this appalling disease contributes to the limitations of existing medications.

Host-Pathogen Interactions during Shiga Toxin-Producing Adherence and Colonization in the Bovine Gut: A Comprehensive Review.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) is a significant public health threat due to its ability to cause severe gastrointestinal diseases in humans, ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening conditions such as hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). As the primary reservoir of STEC, cattle play a crucial role in its transmission through contaminated food and water, posing a considerable risk to human health. This comprehensive review explores host-pathogen interactions during STEC colonization of the bovine gut, focusing on the role of gut microbiota in modulating these interactions and influencing disease outcomes.

Interferon-γ/IL-2 ELISpot and mRNA Responses to the SARS-CoV2, Feline Coronavirus Serotypes 1 (FCoV1), and FCoV2 Receptor Binding Domains by the T Cells from COVID-19-Vaccinated Humans and FCoV1-Infected Cats.

The receptor binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 (SCoV2) has been used recently to identify the RBD sequences of feline coronavirus serotypes 1 (FCoV1) and 2 (FCoV2). Cats naturally infected with FCoV1 have been shown to possess serum reactivities with FCoV1 and SCoV2 RBDs but not with FCoV2 RBD. In the current study, COVID-19-vaccinated humans and FCoV1-infected laboratory cats were evaluated for interferon-gamma (IFNγ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2 ELISpot responses by their peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) to SCoV2, FCoV1, and FCoV2 RBDs.

Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Shiga Toxin-Producing O157:H7 on Bovine Rectoanal Junction Cells and Human Colonic Epithelial Cells during Initial Adherence.

Shiga toxin-producing (STEC) are notorious foodborne pathogens, capable of causing severe diarrhea and life-threatening complications in humans. Cattle, acting as both primary reservoirs and asymptomatic carriers of STEC, predominantly harbor the pathogen in their rectoanal junction (RAJ), facilitating its transmission to humans through contaminated food sources. Despite the central role of cattle in STEC transmission, the molecular mechanisms governing STEC's adaptation in the RAJ of the asymptomatic reservoir host and its subsequent infection of human colonic epithelial cells, resulting in diarrhea, remain largely unexplored.
