Studies have shown that swine HEV (sHEV) and rabbit HEV (rHEV) can experimentally infect rabbits and swine, respectively. However, no published data have documented isolating sHEV strains from rabbits in natural environment so far. To clarify the possibility of natural cross-species transmission of sHEV to rabbits, the pigs with HEV infection were farmed along with SPF rabbits in the same enclosed space. Five of 10 rabbits had seroconversion for anti-HEV antibody from the third week after mix-breeding. However, HEV RNA remained undetectable in feces, serum, liver and bile of the ten rabbits; and no obvious elevation of ALT was observed. The results possibly suggested that sHEV might lead to an inapparent infection of SPF rabbits by fecal-oral route.

Pigeon paramyxovirus serotype 1 (PPMV-1), an antigenic and host variant of avian paramyxovirus Newcastle disease virus (NDV), primarily originating from racing pigeons, has become a global panzootic. Egypt uses both inactivated PPMV-1 and conventional NDV vaccines to protect pigeons from disease and mortality. However, the impact of prevalent strains and the effectiveness of available vaccines in pigeons in Egypt are unclear.

Article Synopsis
- Newcastle disease (ND) is a highly destructive virus affecting poultry, leading to global economic losses, prompting research into Glycyrrhiza glabra (G. glabra) as a potential protective treatment for chickens.
- An experiment with 90 chicks assessed the impact of G. glabra on NDV-challenged birds, revealing that treated chicks showed significantly reduced symptoms, morbidity, and mortality rates compared to the untreated group.
- Findings included improvements in various health markers, reduced viral shedding, fewer lesions, and less severe pathological changes, supporting the hypothesis that G. glabra can effectively combat Newcastle disease virus infection.

Carrageenan (CG) and ion exchange resins (IERs) are better metal chelators. Kappa (κ) CG and IERs were synthesized and subjected to copper ion (Cu) adsorption to obtain DMSCH/κ-Cu, DC20H/κ-Cu, and IRP69H/κ-Cu nanocomposites (NCs). The NCs were studied using statistical physics formalism (SPF) at 315-375 K and a multilayer perceptron with five input nodes.

Previous studies here have demonstrated that the rabbit sacculus rotundus-derived antimicrobial peptides (RSRP) could alter the intestinal mucosal immune responses in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) chickens, however, the protective effects of RSRP on chickens against infection remain questionable. In the present study, eighty SPF chickens were randomly divided into five groups and challenged with very virulent infectious bursal disease virus (vvIBDV) to determine the protective effects and its underlying mechanism of RSRP. Histopathology examination found that vvIBDV-infection caused severe damage in the bursa of Fabricius, especially the bursal lymphoid follicles underwent severe necrosis, depletion, hemorrhage, and edema.

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a respiratory virus causing atropism in multiple body systems of chickens. Recently, the California 1737/04 (CA1737/04) IBV strain was identified as one of the circulating IBV variants among poultry operations in North America. Here, the pathogenicity and tissue tropism of CA1737/04 IBV strain in specific-pathogen-free (SPF) hens were characterized in comparison to Massachusetts (Mass) IBV.
