of porcine origin exhibits an open pan-genome within a single clonal complex: insights from comparative genomic analysis.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
October 2024
College of Agriculture (CAU, Imphal), Kyrdemkulai, Meghalaya, India.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the genomics of zoonotic foodborne pathogens originating from pigs, highlighting the limited knowledge in this area.
- Researchers analyzed pig-derived genomes alongside existing data to explore their genetic features, virulence, resistance, and phylogenomic relationships.
- Findings show that most pig isolates belong to a specific clonal complex, with a significant presence of antibiotic resistance genes and a diverse set of mobile genetic elements, indicating potential public health implications.
Development of a novel sensitive single-tube nested PCR assay for the detection of African swine fever virus.

April 2024
ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, Umiam, Meghalaya, India.
Article Synopsis
- * A new diagnostic method called single-tube nested PCR (STN-PCR) has been developed to detect the virus, using specially designed primers for better sensitivity and lower contamination risks.
- * The STN-PCR assay showed a 100-fold improvement in detecting the virus compared to traditional methods, successfully identifying 100 copies of ASFV genomic DNA, and demonstrated 100% specificity with strong agreement with existing assays.
