Approximately 30 distinct species have been isolated from cattle, but only a few are pathogenic and can cause serious respiratory diseases. Consequently, this study aimed to identify spp. infections in cattle with bovine respiratory disease (BRD), considering factors such as animal demographics, concurrent infections with other pathogens, post-mortem clinical findings and histological examinations, and seasonality.

- Global fish and seafood consumption is rising, leading to increased incidents of food fraud, particularly through mislabeling and the use of unauthorized additives to conceal spoilage.
- The study tested two affordable and portable near infrared (NIR) spectrometers to detect the food additive Cafodos in sea bass samples, successfully classifying 81-100% of treated samples.
- The research demonstrates that using portable NIR spectroscopy is a cost-effective and environmentally safe way to quickly identify food fraud and protect consumer safety.
Introduction: Bacterial infection of the central nervous system (CNS) poses a clinical challenge and is a leading cause of neurological disorders in cattle. Human studies have demonstrated an increase in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) L-lactate levels in bacterial meningitis. The aims of this study were to establish a Reference Interval (RI) for L-lactate in bovine CSF and assess its potential as a biomarker for detecting infectious-inflammatory disorders.

In the present case, an adult male corn snake () was found dead due to septic shock 48 h after consuming a feeder mouse purchased online. The snake's tissue samples and faeces were cultured for bacteria isolation.

The study is aimed to analyze the main themes and attributes related to OATs in MBC patients. This research is part of a project titled "Enhancing Therapy Adherence Among Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients" designed to produce a predictive model of non-adherence, a decision support system, and guidelines to improve adherence to OATs.
