AI Article Synopsis
- - A multiplex PCR assay was developed to detect four zoonotic parasites in goat stool samples, demonstrating its efficiency with specific gene amplifications for each parasite.
- - The assay showed high sensitivity (≥10 copies) and specificity, accurately identifying infection rates: 23.08% for , 24.62% for , 41.54% for spp., and 12.31% for .
- - This method offers a rapid, sensitive, and cost-effective tool for epidemiological studies on these parasitic infections, enhancing detection capabilities in veterinary settings.
Article Abstract
, , spp. and are four common zoonotic parasites associated with severe diarrhea and enteric diseases. In this study, we developed a multiplex PCR assay for the simultaneous detection of these four zoonotic protozoans in goat stool samples and assessed its detection efficiency. Specific primers were designed from conserved gene sequences retrieved from GenBank, and the PCR conditions were optimized. Genomic DNA from 130 samples was subjected to both single-target PCR and multiplex PCR. The multiplex PCR assay successfully amplified specific gene fragments (, 1400 bp; , 755 bp; spp., 573 bp; , 314 bp). The assay sensitivity was ≥10 copies of pathogenic DNA clones with high specificity confirmed by negative results for other intestinal parasites. The detection rates were 23.08% (30/130) for , 24.62% (32/130) for , 41.54% (54/130) for spp., and 12.31% (16/130) for , matching the single-target PCR results. The sensitivity and predictive values were 100.00%. This multiplex PCR provided a rapid, sensitive, specific, and cost-effective approach for detecting these four parasites. It also provided essential technical support for the rapid detection and epidemiological investigation of , , spp., and infections in goat fecal samples.

The Ralstonia solanacearum Species Complex (RSSC) is the most significant plant pathogen group with a wide host range. It is genetically related but displays distinct biological features, such as restrictive geography occurrence. The RSSC comprises three species: Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum (phylotype I and III), Ralstonia solanacearum (phylotype IIA and IIB), and Ralstonia syzygii (phylotype IV) (Fegan and Prior 2005).

We describe the phenotypic and genotypic spectrum of patients with vascular anomaly (VA) in a paediatric multi-disciplinary VA clinic. We measured the clinical utility of genotyping by comparing pre and posttest diagnosis and management. A 46-month retrospective analysis occurred for 250 patients offered genetic testing in the VA clinic.

Infectious complications significantly impact morbidity and mortality following lung transplantation (LuTx), with over 25% of post-transplant deaths attributed to infections. Antibiotic prophylaxis during the surgical procedure is crucial for reducing early infections, though the current use of wide-spectrum antibiotics, especially in cases of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), is contentious and varies widely across centre. This practice raises concerns about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), particularly in immunosuppressed patients requiring lifelong healthcare access.

IKZF1 deletions (ΔIKZF1) are common in precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and are assumed to have a prognostic impact. We aimed to determine the prognostic implications of ΔIKZF1 and CRLF2 overexpression in pediatric B-ALL. Furthermore, we sought to compare the multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay with standard multiplex ligand-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) methods to ascertain IKZF1 status in a clinical context.
