Milk miRNA expression in buffaloes as a potential biomarker for mastitis.

Background: Buffaloes have the highest potential for production due to a promising gene pool that is being enhanced and upgraded. Mastitis is a significant health impediment that greatly diminishes milk yield and quality, affecting rural farmers' livelihoods. The traditional gold standard used for diagnosing mastitis or subclinical mastitis is CMT, but it has the drawback of false positive or negative results.

Delineation of altered brain proteins associated with furious rabies virus infection in dogs by quantitative proteomics.

Rabies is a fatal zoonotic disease caused by rabies virus (RABV). Despite the existence of control measures, dog-transmitted human rabies accounts for ˃95% reported cases due to unavailability of sensitive diagnostic methods, inadequate understanding of disease progression and absence of therapeutics. In addition, host factors and their role in RABV infection are poorly understood.

Evolutionary analysis of rabies virus using the partial Nucleoprotein and Glycoprotein gene in Mumbai region of India.

Nearly 1.7 million cases of dog bites are reported every year in India and many cases of animal rabies are left unattended and undiagnosed. Therefore, a mere diagnosis of rabies is not sufficient to understand the epidemiology and the spread of the rabies virus (RV) in animals.
