Article Synopsis
  • - Tularemia is an infectious disease that requires ongoing monitoring of both human and animal cases, along with tracking the pathogen in natural environments to effectively prevent and control outbreaks.
  • - The disease is caused by a bacterium with three different subspecies, and researchers have created a new real-time PCR test that can accurately detect these subspecies and identify where they’re spreading.
  • - The new PCR assay has been rigorously tested for accuracy and sensitivity, with very low limits of detection, enhancing tularemia surveillance efforts in Kazakhstan by allowing for direct detection of the pathogen in various samples.

Introduction: The presence of gastrointestinal nematodes, including zoonotic ascarids, in wild canids, felids and mustelids as definitive hosts in Central Asian countries has been documented in many studies based on traditional morphological methods. In contrast, relevant data for the badger are scarce. The aim of this study was the molecular identification of ascarid nematodes from five wild carnivore species in different regions of Kazakhstan.

Background And Aim: Wolves () play a role in nature, including the regulation of the number of ungulates and the use of dead animals. In addition, wolves are a natural link and carrier for the spread of many parasitic invasions. Hence, the main task in preventing the spread of parasitic invasions is to regulate the wolf population.

Article Synopsis
  • Tularemia is a serious disease caused by a specific type of bacteria, with three recognized subspecies, one of which is less studied and recently found in new areas of Russia.
  • Researchers conducted genetic analyses on 28 strains of this bacteria from Kazakhstan, revealing that while the strains are genetically similar, they can still be distinguished using certain techniques.
  • The analysis showed that the genetic diversity within these strains was limited, and the genetic makeup of the strains didn’t strongly correlate with the year or location they were collected from.

Background And Aim: In Kazakhstan, the study of infection among farm animals is crucial to monitor the invasion among livestock and map the data obtained. Unfortunately, there are only partial data on the study of among cattle's in Kazakhstan, which makes it difficult to conduct a comparative analysis of the epidemiological situation among livestock animals. The present study aimed to molecularly identify the species and haplotypes of the complex infecting cattle in Kazakhstan and investigate their genetic variation relative to mitochondrial (mt) targets.

Objective: The purpose of this narrative review paper was to review the state and development of the field of donor gametes in Kazakhstan, compare its legislative and technical capabilities with other countries and identify key steps towards the establishment of a unified register of donor gametes in the Republic.

Materials And Methods: The narrative review paper conducted an analysis of scientific publications and legal documents to examine the implementation of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), focusing on Donor Sexual Gametes (DSG), globally. It utilized medical publications from 2019 to 2023, legal acts, and recommendations from global health organizations to analyze eligibility criteria, legal regulations, and the social aspects of ART across different regions.

In this research, we explore the synthesis of and characterize α-aminophosphonates derived from anthraquinone and benzanthrone, focusing on their fluorescence properties and potential applications in confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The synthesized compounds exhibit notable solvatochromic behavior, emitting fluorescence from green to red across various solvents. Spectroscopic analysis, including H-, C-, and P-NMR, FTIR, and mass spectrometry, confirms the chemical structures.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study in Kazakhstan analyzed 160 muscle tissue samples from wild animals to identify the presence of Trichinella spp., finding that 32 were positive, including species like lynx, wolves, foxes, jackals, and corsac foxes.
  • * The research utilized parasitological and molecular genetics methods, concluding that two species of Trichinella circulate among wild animals in Kazakhstan, underscoring the importance of ongoing monitoring to prevent human transmission.

Adenium (Adenium obesum) and avocado (Persea americana) are commonly grown as exotic houseplants in city apartments of Kazakhstan. In April-May 2020, the wilting symptom was observed on the young stems of five 2-year-old A. obesum plants in a city apartment in Saryarqa District, Astana, Kazakhstan (71°25'E, 51°11'N).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on monitoring echinococcosis infection among livestock and wild carnivores in Kazakhstan, aiming to estimate the genetic diversity of Echinococcus species based on DNA analysis from wolves, red foxes, and corsacs.
  • Through mitochondrial gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis, the study found varying infection rates: 6.3% in wolves, 18.2% in corsacs, and 85% in foxes, identifying two types of echinococcosis in the animals.
  • The research uncovered seven haplotypes of the pathogen from various samples, revealing three new haplotypes with significant genetic variability, contributing valuable data to fill knowledge gaps in the epidemiology of echinoc

In eukaryotes, ribosome assembly is a rate-limiting step in ribosomal biogenesis that takes place in a distinctive subnuclear organelle, the nucleolus. How ribosomes get assembled at the nucleolar site by forming initial preribosomal complexes remains poorly characterized. In this study, using several human and murine cell lines, we developed a method for isolation of native mammalian preribosomal complexes by lysing cell nuclei through mild sonication.

Aim of the present study was to provide presence of opisthorchiid metacercariae in cyprinid fish Leuciscus idus in Nura-Sarysu river, Kazakhstan. Infection rate of the ides by the metacercariae was 42%. The metacercariae, similar morphologically to those of the liver flukes, were found: elliptical in shape, 0.

Monoclonal antibody specific for an epitope of cretory-secretory antigen protein of Opisthorchis felineus (Rivolta, 1884) (Trematoda: Opisthorchiidae) with a molecular weight of 28 kDa was used in a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for immobilisation of liver fluke specific antigen to the solid phase. Examination of human sera by this ELISA compared with commercial assays demonstrated that the monoclonal antibody epitope is located within this significant parasite protein. Anti-idiotypic antibody specific for the paratope of this monoclonal antibody was obtained by a hybridoma technique.

Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central component of the essential signaling pathway that regulates cell growth and proliferation by controlling anabolic processes in cells. mTOR exists in two distinct mTOR complexes known as mTORC1 and mTORC2 that reside mostly in cytoplasm. In our study, the biochemical characterization of mTOR led to discovery of its novel localization on nuclear envelope where it associates with a critical regulator of nuclear import Ran Binding Protein 2 (RanBP2).

Nutrients are essential for living organisms because they fuel biological processes in cells. Cells monitor nutrient abundance and coordinate a ratio of anabolic and catabolic reactions. Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling is the essential nutrient-sensing pathway that controls anabolic processes in cells.
