Orf (ORF) is an acute disease caused by the Orf virus (ORFV), and poses a certain threat to animal and human health. Live attenuated vaccines play an important role in the prevention and control of ORF. The effectiveness of the live attenuated Orf virus vaccine is influenced by several factors, including the genomic match between the vaccine strain and circulating epidemic strains.

Barnyard grass is one of the most serious rice weeds, often growing near paddy fields and therefore potentially serving as a bridging host for the rice blast fungus. In this study, we isolated three fungal strains from diseased barnyard grass leaves in a rice field. Using a pathogenicity assay, we confirmed that they were capable of causing blast symptoms on barnyard grass and rice leaves to various extents.

Carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs) are essential virulence factors in phytopathogens, particularly the extensively studied members from the CBM50 gene family, which are known as lysin motif (LysM) effectors and which play crucial roles in plant-pathogen interactions. However, the function of CBM50 in has yet to be fully studied. In this study, we identified seven CBM50 genes from the genome through complete sequence analysis and functional annotation.

Background: Phage therapy, a treatment utilizing bacteriophages to combat bacterial infections, is gaining attention as a promising alternative to antibiotics, particularly for managing antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This study aims to provide a comprehensive review of phage therapy by examining its safety, efficacy, influencing factors, future prospects, and regulatory considerations. The study also seeks to identify strategies for optimizing its application and to propose a systematic framework for its clinical implementation.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major health burdens worldwide. Its course depends on the virus itself and the host's immune responses. The latter are conditioned by immunogenetic factors, in particular human leukocyte antigens (HLAs), whose role in determining the outcome of infection varies according to populations and ethnic groups.
