Article Synopsis
- Influenza virus has a wide global distribution and a high diversity of subtypes, having caused multiple pandemics, necessitating better tracking of animal influenza to combat future threats.
- A global database was created, documenting 70,472 records and 4,712 animal influenza events, revealing that H5N2, H7N7, and H7N9 subtypes are persisting, particularly in Asia, which has the highest event clusters.
- There is a significant risk of new virus subtypes emerging, particularly from wild birds, highlighting the need for strengthened influenza surveillance and improved data sharing globally to prevent future pandemics.
This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Moringa oleifera polysaccharide (MOP) on ulcerative colitis (UC) and explore its mechanism through the combined analysis of microbiome, metabolome and transcriptome. A UC model in mice was established using dextran sulphate sodium. After a 21-day experiment, results showed that MOP could inhibit the weight loss and disease activity index in UC mice.

The trial was divided into four treatments and labeled as CON (control group) and MLA, SUC, and MIX (respectively denoting the addition of 1% malic acid, 1% sucrose, and 1% malic acid + 1% sucrose to the fresh weight basis). The silage packages were opened on the 2nd, 5th, 10th, 20th, and 40th days of ensiling for subsequent determination.
