as a food-borne pathogen, the infection of it in food animals has relation with human toxoplasmosis, but the trends and epidemiological features of infections in food animals are rarely studied in China. The aimed of this study was to assess the epidemiology and risks of in sheep, goats, swines, chickens, yaks, cattle and humans from 2000 to 2017 and to explore prevention and control strategies. The overall seroprevalence of infections in food animals is 23.7% (39,194/165,417, 95%CI, 23.49-23.90%), which is significantly higher than that in humans (8.2%, 95%CI, 8.06-8.39%, 8,502/103,383) ( < 0.0001). Compared the prevalence of infections in animals and humans sampled from 2000 to 2010, it was significantly increased in the period 2011 to 2017 ( < 0.0001). Compared the food animals from non-Yangtze River, animals from regions of the Yangtze River have high seroprevalence rates for ( < 0.0001). Furthermore, samples from the western to eastern regions of the Yellow River showed an increase in seroprevalence for ( < 0.0001). It was speculated that oocysts may be transmitted by water and annual precipitation possible help the oocyst spread and retain accessible for potential hosts. Effective prevention and control strategies are including water filtration or water boiling, inactivating oocysts from feline's feces, monitoring birds and rodents. (ToxoDB#9) is the predominant genotype in food animals from China.

Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia, are associated with Alzheimer's disease pathology and future risk of cognitive impairment. This raises the exciting possibility of repurposing existing drugs to prevent or delay Alzheimer's disease since there are multiple drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of insomnia. Dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs) are one such class of medications.

Background: Clostridium butyricum is a probiotic widely used in animal husbandry, and there is evidence to suggest that it can alleviate intestinal inflammation in pigs and may be related to its lipoteichoic acid (LTA), but the mechanism is still unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the regulatory effect and potential mechanism of C. butyricum LTA on LPS-stimulated inflammation in intestinal porcine epithelial line-J2 (IPEC-J2).

Tool use to crack open palm nuts has been observed extensively in some capuchin monkey species. However, for southern black-horned capuchin monkeys (Sapajus nigritus cucullatus), there is only one published record of stone tool use from the 1990s, from an urban park in Londrina, Brazil. In the present study, we returned to this urban park to systematically investigate the hammer-and-anvil sites used to crack nuts by this capuchin monkey population.

Nonadditive genetic effects pose significant challenges to traditional genomic selection methods for quantitative traits. Machine learning approaches, particularly kernel-based methods, offer promising solutions to overcome these limitations. In this study, we developed a novel machine learning method, KPRR, which integrated a polynomial kernel into ridge regression to effectively capture nonadditive genetic effects.

Three-quarters of the planet's land surface has been altered by humans, with consequences for animal ecology, movements and related ecosystem functioning. Species often occupy wide geographical ranges with contrasting human disturbance and environmental conditions, yet, limited data availability across species' ranges has constrained our understanding of how human pressure and resource availability jointly shape intraspecific variation of animal space use. Leveraging a unique dataset of 758 annual GPS movement trajectories from 375 brown bears (Ursus arctos) across the species' range in Europe, we investigated the effects of human pressure (i.
