The development of a SYBR Green-based duplex real-time PCR is described for simultaneous detection of porcine parvovirus (PPV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) genomes. Viral genomes were identified in the same sample by their distinctive melting temperature (T(m)) which is 77.5°C for PPV VP2 313bp amplicon and 82.3°C for PCV-2 ORF2 171bp amplicon, respectively. The detection limit of the method was 0.01TCID(50)/mL for PPV and PCV-2, about 10 times more sensitive than conventional PCR. In addition, PPV and PCV-2 viral load were measured in 126 field samples, confirming the sensitivity and specificity, and the result showed that 70/126 samples were positive for PPV and 92/126 samples were positive for PCV2 by the duplex real-time PCR. This method may be a useful alternative rapid and reliable method for the detection of PPV/PCV-2 co-infection.

Duplex stainless steels, known for their excellent corrosion resistance, are employed in a variety of chloride solutions-acidic, neutral, and alkaline-due to a stable passive film that forms on their surfaces. This study involved polarization tests, EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) measurements, Mott-Schottky plots, and XPS (X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) analyses in both static and dynamic conditions across acidic (1NaCl + 0.1N HCl, pH 1.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) is one of the main vector-borne zoonotic diseases that affects a wide range of ruminants and humans in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula.Several techniques involving cell culture and molecular biology methods have been developed to diagnose RVF infection. Success partly relies on sending samples to a national or reference laboratory in good conditions and having the capacity to perform the appropriate diagnostic test in the matrix of interest during the period of viremia where high loads of viral particles are present.

Diagnosis of imported malaria is based on microscopic examination of blood smears (BS), detection of circulating plasmodial antigen by immunochromatography (ICT), or detection of spp. DNA by loop mediated isothermal amplification. We have developed duplex ( spp.

Here, image identification technology, gimbal, and full-duplex optical communication systems are integrated to manage the challenging issues of light alignment and target tracking for mobile full-duplex optical communication under the transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) scheme. Both drones and vehicles are equipped with the proposed setup to realize full-duplex wireless optical data transmission at a communication rate of 2 Mbps in both air-to-ground and air-to-air scenarios.

Bovine respiratory disease complex (BRDC) represents a global acute respiratory condition that imposes substantial economic burdens on the cattle industry due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. Various factors contribute to the development of BRDC, including pathogen infections, environmental stresses, weaning of calves, and herd relocation. Viral pathogens, notably bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), play a critical role in the etiology of BRDC, with single or combined viral infections being particularly clinically significant.
