Sleep arousal, a frequent interruption in sleep with complete or partial wakefulness from sleep, may indicate a breathing disorder, neurological disorder, or sleep-related disorders. These phenomena necessitate the detection of sleep arousals. Uses of deep learning methods to detect features inhibits the scope to understand the specific distinctive nature of the signals and reduces the interpretability of the model.

Immune activation is essential for lung control of viral and bacterial infection, but an overwhelming inflammatory response often leads to the onset of acute respiratory distress syndrome. IL-10 plays a crucial role in regulating the balance between antimicrobial immunity and immunopathology. In the present study, we investigated the role of IL-10 in acute lung injury induced by influenza A virus and methicillin-resistant coinfection.

Introduction: A frequent sequela of influenza A virus (IAV) infection is secondary bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, it is clinically important to understand the genetic predisposition to IAV and bacterial coinfection.

Methods: BALB/c and C57BL/6 (B6) mice were infected with high or low-pathogenic IAV and ().

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is a single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus containing at least 13 proteins. Many of these proteins show immune modulation capabilities. As a non-structural protein of the FMDV, 2B is involved in the rearrangement of the host cell membranes and the disruption of the host secretory pathway as a viroporin.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is an inflammatory disease that is associated with high mortality but no specific treatment. Our understanding of initial events that trigger ARDS pathogenesis is limited. We have developed a mouse model of inflammatory lung injury by influenza and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) coinfection plus daily antibiotic therapy.

Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a fulminant infectious disease that mostly affects cattle and causes considerable economic loss throughout the globe. This study was conducted to develop a new multi-epitope-based vaccine against LSD that can elicit immunological responses using an in silico reverse vaccinology approach. Initially, three antigenic proteins, protein E5, E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase LAP and 62 kDa protein, were manipulated to recognize potential T-cell and B-cell epitopes.

Postinfluenza bacterial pneumonia is a significant cause of hospitalization and death in humans. The mechanisms underlying this viral and bacterial synergy remain incompletely understood. Recent evidence indicates that influenza-induced IFNs, particularly type I IFN (IFN-I) and IFN-γ, suppress antibacterial defenses.

The susceptibility to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in early life has been associated with a deficient T-helper cell type 1 (Th1) response. Conversely, healthy adults generally do not exhibit severe illness from RSV infection. In the current study, we investigated whether Th1 cytokine IFN-γ is essential for protection against RSV and RSV-associated comorbidities in adult mice.

Zoonotic and antimicrobial-resistant (hereafter, ) is a global public health threat which can lead to detrimental effects on human health. Here, we aim to investigate the antimicrobial resistance and the presence of gene in isolated from chicken feces. Ninety-four isolates were obtained from samples collected from different locations in Bangladesh, and the isolates were identified using conventional microbiological tests.

Current evidence indicates that more than half of all antimicrobials are used in the animal food-producing sector, which is considered a significant risk factor for the development, spread, and existence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pathogens in animals, humans, and the environment. Among other factors, clinical etiology and the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of veterinarians are thought to be responsible for inappropriate prescriptions in the animal-source protein production sector in lower-resource settings like Bangladesh. We performed this cross-sectional study to assess factors associated with veterinarians' antimicrobial prescription behavior and their KAP on antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in Bangladesh.

Since its emergence, Canine Parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) has been considered as a deadly pathogen in dogs with high mortality in puppies for its clinical gastroenteritis and severe haemorrhagic diarrhoea. Although several studies on CPV-2 were conducted in Bangladesh, molecular investigation is poorly understood. The aim of the study was molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of CPV in diarrhoeic pet dogs.

The scientific community has been releasing whole genomic sequences of SARS-CoV-2 to facilitate the investigation of molecular features and evolutionary history. We retrieved 36 genomes of 18 prevalent countries of Asia, Europe and America for genomic diversity and mutational analysis. Besides, we studied mutations in the RBD regions of Spike (S) proteins to analyze the drug efficiency against these mutations.

, a predominant causal agent of a fatal zoonotic protozoan diarrhoeal disease called cryptosporidiosis, bears a worldwide public health concern for childhood mortality and poses a key threat to the dairy and water industries. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small but powerful posttranscriptional gene silencing RNA molecules, regulate a variety of molecular, biological, and cellular processes in animals and plants. As to the present date, there is a paucity of information regarding miRNAs of ; hence, this study was used to identify miRNAs in the organism using a comprehensible expressed sequence tag-based homology search approach consisting of a series of computational screening process from the identification of putative miRNA candidates to the functional annotation of the important gene targets in .

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become an emerging health issue globally, posing a threat to zoonotic pathogens and foodborne diseases. In Bangladesh, the poultry sector supplies the majority of the demand for animal-source protein. The irrational and excessive use of antimicrobials (AMU) has been observed in the poultry sector.

Here, drug repurposing and molecular docking were employed to screen approved MPP inhibitors and their derivatives to suggest a specific therapeutic agent for the treatment of COVID-19. The approved MPP inhibitors against HIV and HCV were prioritized, while RNA dependent RNA Polymerase (RdRp) inhibitor remdesivir including Favipiravir, alpha-ketoamide were studied as control groups. The target drug surface hotspot was also investigated through the molecular docking technique.
