Article Synopsis
- * The identification process involved both morphological examination and genetic analysis using the 16S rRNA gene, which allowed for classification into distinct genogroups.
- * Variations in physical traits were noted between the two females, indicating potential for diverse phenotypes related to their genogroups; however, more research is needed to determine if I. ventalloi can establish a population in Slovakia through additional sampling methods.
This study aimed to evaluate the immunomodulatory effect of the probiotic L26 Biocenol (L26) and its purified exopolysaccharide (EPS) with respect to antiviral innate immune response. In our experiment, we used porcine epithelial IPEC-J2 cells as a model of the intestinal barrier in a homologous infection by porcine strain OSU6 (RVA). The production of selected molecules of non-specific humoral immunity was evaluated at the mRNA level.

No virus RNA was detected in the blood clots. Birds were infested mostly by , but and were observed too.

- A study conducted in Slovakia aimed to monitor the presence and spread of West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) through mosquito populations, addressing the lack of formal surveillance in the region.
- Over two years, researchers trapped and analyzed 4,508 mosquitoes, finding WNV in 3 pools and USUV in 16 pools; USUV was more widespread and lasted longer in seasonal detection.
- The study highlighted a significant finding of WNV in urban Bratislava, alongside a confirmed human infection, emphasizing the need for better surveillance to mitigate public health risks from these viruses.
