Effect of selection for growth rate on the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) immune system and its response after experimental Staphylococcus aureus infection.

The aim of the work was to evaluate if genetic selection for daily gain may affect the immune system. Two experiments were performed. The first one involved 80 rabbit females and their first two litters to explore the effect of selection on the ability of animals to maintain immune competence.

Genomic Characterization of in Wildlife.

is an opportunistic multi-host pathogen that threatens both human and animal health. Animals can act as a reservoir of for humans, but very little is known about wild animals' epidemiological role. Therefore, in this study, we performed a genomic characterization of isolates from wildlife, hunters, and their auxiliary hunting animals of Eastern Spain.

Educational Interventions for Newly Diagnosed Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Scoping Review.

The latest consensus standards for patients with inflammatory bowel disease published by the European Crohn's and Colitis Organisation conclude that optimizing quality of care in inflammatory bowel disease involves information and education after diagnosis. A scoping review was performed to identify educational interventions in newly diagnosed inflammatory bowel disease patients. A systematic literature search was conducted using five databases and gray literature.

GM3 synthase deficiency in non-Amish patients.

Purpose: Biallelic loss-of-function variants in ST3GAL5 cause GM3 synthase deficiency (GM3SD) responsible for Amish infantile epilepsy syndrome. All Amish patients carry the homozygous p.(Arg288Ter) variant arising from a founder effect.

Marked Presence of Methicillin-Resistant in Wild Lagomorphs in Valencia, Spain.

The appearance of methicillin-resistant strains of (MRSA) in several animal species (including rabbits) has set off alarms for their capacity to act as reservoirs for this bacterium. This is especially important in wild animals given its epidemiological implications. The objectives of this study were to identify and characterize , specifically MRSA, strains in wild lagomorph high-density areas.
