The identification and analysis of pathogens are crucial for infectious disease research; however, existing databases pay little attention to sheep and goat diseases, and pathogen data are relatively scattered. Therefore, the effective integration, analysis and visualization of these data will help us conduct in-depth research on sheep and goat infectious diseases and promote the formulation of disease prevention and control strategies.

- - The study investigates the opportunistic pathogen responsible for respiratory diseases in livestock, specifically through a mouse model infected with a strain from goats.
- - Researchers conducted histopathological examinations and RNA-seq analysis on mice's spleens, revealing that chemokines may enhance leukocyte migration while limiting inflammation through negative feedback.
- - Findings highlight the immune regulation in the mouse spleen, showing how immune cells, including hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, respond to infection, offering insights for better prevention and treatment strategies for mannheimiosis.
Article Synopsis
- Buffalo meat is becoming more popular due to its low fat and cholesterol, but it has drawbacks like dark color and low tenderness that consumers often find unsatisfactory.
- Recent research on Xinglong buffalo in Hainan reveals significant differences in meat quality traits, including better redness but higher toughness and lower amino acids compared to Hainan cattle.
- By employing a multi-omics approach, the study identified key genes and metabolites related to meat quality, which could help in genetic improvements for better buffalo meat.
Ovine brucellosis is a global zoonotic disease of sheep caused by Brucella melitensis, which inflicts a significant burden on human and animal health. Brucella suis strain S2 (B. suis S2) is a smooth live attenuated vaccine for the prevention of ovine brucellosis in China.

We investigated the effects of the Pm infection intratracheally on the histopathology, miRNA and mRNA expression dynamics in the lung of goats infected for 1, 2, 5 and 7 days. Pm infection caused fever, which significantly (p < 0.
