The objective of this study was to identify the effects of experimental necrotic enteritis (NE) infection on the production performance, gut microbiome, and cecal tonsil transcriptome in broiler birds. A total of 192 chicks were not-induced (control) or induced with NE. NE was induced by inoculating Eimeria maxima at 14 d of age and Clostridium perfringens at 19, 20, and 21 d of age. NE challenge increased (p < 0.01) NE lesion score at 7 days post-E.maxima infection (dpi), decreased (p < 0.01) average weight gain and increased (p < 0.01) mortality at 7 and 14 dpi. NE challenge increased (p < 0.05) gut permeability at 5, 6, and 7 dpi and increased ileal C. perfringens load at 5 dpi. NE challenge increased (p < 0.01) Eimeria oocyst shedding at 5, 6, 7, 8 and 14 dpi. NE challenge decreased (p < 0.05) the relative abundance of Lactobacillaceae and increased (p < 0.05) the relative abundance of Campylobacteriaceae, Comamonadaceae, and Ruminococcaceae at 6 dpi. NE challenge upregulated (p < 0.05) genes related to immune response and downregulated (p < 0.05) genes related to lipid metabolism at 6 dpi. It can be concluded that NE infection decreased beneficial bacteria and increased gut permeability.

Background/purpose: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a pathogen with a negative economic impact on the global swine industry. In 2019, a suspected highly pathogenic strain, NPUST-108-929/2019 (108-929), was isolated from a pig farm in Pingtung with an outbreak of high mortality and analyzed. The characteristics of PRRSV 108-929 have barely been studied.

Trichinellosis, a zoonotic disease transmitted through food and caused by , is a significant health concern worldwide. Therefore, developing a safe and effective vaccine to combat infection is essential. In this study, a nonantibiotic strain lacking the gene served as a live bacterial vector to deliver antigens to the host, creating a novel oral vaccine.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) is a pleiotropic cytokine with critical roles in inflammation, cell survival, and defense. As a member of the TNF superfamily, it exerts its effects by binding to transmembrane receptors and triggering various downstream signaling pathways. Although TNF-α's involvement in antiviral responses in mammals is well-established, its role in teleost remains poorly understood.

A co-processed active pharmaceutical ingredient (CP API) is the combination of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with non-active component(s). This technology has been demonstrated to offer numerous benefits, including but not limited to improved API properties and stability. The infrastructure requirements are such that the manufacture of a CP API is typically best suited for an API facility.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to improve the effectiveness of inactivated H9N2 avian influenza vaccines by combining them with a recombinant baculovirus containing multiple T and B cell epitopes, showing better immune response than using the vaccine alone.
- - Results indicated that the combined immunization led to significantly higher levels of antibodies and T cell responses, particularly after exposure to a heterologous virus, which suggests a robust immune boost.
- - The InV+BV-BNT group showed lower viral loads and virus positivity rates in samples taken after infection, highlighting its potential as a supplementary vaccine to enhance protection against H9N2 avian influenza.
