Background: Wild game meat has over the years gained popularity across the globe as it is considered a food source with high protein content, low fat content, and a balanced composition of fatty acids and minerals, which are requirements for a healthy diet. Despite this popularity, there is a concern over its safety as many species of wildlife are reservoirs of zoonotic diseases including those of bacterial origin, more so antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Methods: This study aimed to describe the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in mammalian wild game, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurofilament light chain (Nf-L) is identified as a potential biomarker for diagnosing neurological disorders in cattle, paralleling its established role in human neurology.
  • The study found that Nf-L levels varied significantly between healthy and sick cattle, with consistent median levels detected in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) across different age groups.
  • There is a promising association between Nf-L levels in serum and CSF, particularly in cattle with neurological disorders, indicating that Nf-L could serve as a valuable diagnostic tool in veterinary practices.
