This study conducted a comprehensive survey of Fowl Adenovirus (FAdV), Astrovirus (CAstV), and Avian Reovirus (ARV) in Brazilian poultry, aiming to understand their epidemiological aspects. A total of 1,988 commercial flocks were analyzed across various Brazilian states, resulting in 4,568 analyses. The findings indicated a 25.5 % positivity rate among flocks showing suggestive symptoms, with at least one virus detected in all industrial poultry-producing states. Single-agent infections were more prevalent than co-infections. Among states with over 100 flocks analyzed, the highest FAdV prevalence was found in Santa Catarina and Paraná, while Rio Grande do Sul and Goiás showed the highest CAstV prevalence. For ARV, São Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, and Goiás had the highest rates. FAdV or CAstV were primarily isolated from the intestine (79.69 % and 78.17 %, respectively), whereas ARV was often detected in both the intestine (58.61 %) and tendons (48.01 %). All positive flocks were under 70 days old; chicks younger than 14 days were more likely to test positive for CAstV, while those aged 15 to 70 days showed higher positivity for ARV or co-infections of FAdV and ARV. Notably, strong associations were found between leg problems and ARV (OR = 5.33) or mixed infections (OR = 10.60), as well as between white chicks and CAstV (OR = 5.15) and diarrhea linked to CAstV (OR = 7.27). Regarding gross lesions, significant associations included gizzard erosion with FAdV (OR = 8.20), liver lesions with FAdV (OR = 4.28), and arthritis with ARV (OR = 2.84). In 2023, FAdV strains identified included Aviadenovirus A (A. ventriculi), B (A. quintum), D (A. gallinae), and E (A. hepatitidis). This research underscores the substantial impact of these viruses on Brazilian poultry farming and emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced surveillance and control measures to mitigate their effects on poultry production.

Salmonella is a significant threat to Brazilian poultry, causing economic losses and public health risks. This study analyzed 15 Salmonella isolates along with 45 retrieved complete genomes, including serovars Gallinarum, Pullorum, Enteritidis, Typhimurium, and Heidelberg. Biochemical characterization, antimicrobial susceptibility testing, whole-genome sequencing, and comparative genomics were performed.

Cows produce a substantial amount of immunoglobulin in the colostrum, and nutraceutical products derived from these antibodies are gaining attention for their potential role in human viral disease prevention. The objective of our study was to develop an immunization schedule for pregnant cows to produce hyperimmune colostrum with antibodies presenting high avidity and neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2. The recombinant spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) from SARS-CoV-2, expressed using the Expi293F system and purified via Ni-affinity chromatography, was solubilized in (1) saponin (QuilA) or (2) a suspension of potassium and aluminum hydroxide (Alum).

Objectives: To evaluate the associations between the quality of the diet and its components and microbial diversity and composition in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.
Design And Methods: This cross-sectional study included PD patients for at least 3 months, aged 18-75 years and clinically stable. The Diet Quality Index (DQI), validated for the Brazilian population, is based on the energy density of 11 components ("sugar and sweets;" "beef, pork, and processed meat;" "refined grains and breads;" "animal fat;" "poultry, fish, and eggs;" "whole cereals, tubers, and roots;" "fruits"; "nonstarch vegetables;" "legumes and nuts;" "milk and dairy products;" and "vegetable oil").
