Article Synopsis
- - Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), a viral condition affecting cattle, has spread across Asia since its emergence in October 2020, causing economic losses in regions like Vietnam.
- - The study collected blood samples from 180 cattle in the Mekong Delta to analyze the LSD virus and its genetic material, specifically the GPCR gene, to understand its evolutionary relationship with other strains.
- - Results showed that LSDV was present in 8.33% of the samples, revealing genetic similarities with strains from China and Northern Vietnam, suggesting that regional monitoring and control measures are crucial for effective disease management.
Background: The proportion of people with hypertension is increasing, and those affected are relatively younger. Worldwide, it is estimated that people with high blood pressure are more than 1.5 billion people.

The start codon targeted polymorphism (SCoT) and CAAT box-derived polymorphism (CBDP) techniques were used to generate DNA fingerprinting data to analyze the genetic diversity, variation, and structure of the two populations in the waters surrounding Phu Quoc and Con Dao islands together with mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence data.
Results: Con Dao population possessed a higher diversity [expected heterozygosity (H) = 0.
Background: Chicken infectious anemia (CIA) caused by the CIA virus (CIAV) is considered one of the most important immunosuppressive diseases affecting chickens and recently poses a great economic burden to the poultry industry worldwide.
Aim: This study aims to identify the presence of CIAV in the Mekong Delta (MD), Vietnam, and to determine genotypes of CIAVs that are currently circulating in this area.
Methods: Organ samples (spleen, liver, and thymus) of 144 chickens suspected with CIA from 47 poultry farms were collected.
