Evaluation of Risk Factors Influencing Tick-Borne Infections in Livestock Through Molecular Analyses by Lorena Cardillo, Claudio de Martinis, Giovanni Sgroi, Alessia Pucciarelli, Gerardo Picazio, Maurizio Viscardi, Luisa Marati, Maria Ottaiano, Roberta Pellicanò, Nicola D’Alessio, Vincenzo Veneziano, Giovanna Fusco

“…Climate changes and human-related activities are identified as major factors responsible for the increasing distribution and abundance of vectors worldwide and, consequently, of vector-borne diseases (VBDs). Farmed animals, during grazing or in establishments with the absence of biosecurity measures, can easily be exposed to wildlife showing high-risk of contagion of several infectious diseases, including VBDs. …”

Recombinant Marek’s disease virus expressing VP1 and VP2 proteins provides robust immune protection against chicken infectious anemia virus by Chengfei Ge, Hangqiong Lu, Jinze Han, Guorong Sun, Shihao Li, Xingge Lan, Yongzhen Liu, Mengmeng Yu, Xinyun Hu, Mingxue Hu, Xiaole Qi, Hongyu Cui, Yulu Duan, Suyan Wang, Yuntong Chen, Xiaomei Wang, Xiaomei Wang, Yanping Zhang, Yulong Gao, Changjun Liu

“…Further analysis showed that the VP1 and VP2 genes integrated into the MDV genome did not alter the growth kinetics of the virus and remained stable even after 20 passages, indicating the genetic stability of the recombinant virus. In animal studies, vaccination of one-day-old specific-pathogen-free chickens with rMDV induced high levels of CIAV-specific antibodies (1 × 105) and neutralizing antibodies (1:25) and a potent cellular immune response. …”

Neostigmine Attenuates Proinflammatory Cytokine Expression in Preoptic Area but Not Choroid Plexus during Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Systemic Inflammation by Andrzej P. Herman, Dorota Tomaszewska-Zaremba, Marta Kowalewska, Aleksandra Szczepkowska, Małgorzata Oleszkiewicz, Agata Krawczyńska, Maciej Wójcik, Hanna Antushevich, Janina Skipor

“…Neostigmine suppressed (p<0.05) LPS-stimulated synthesis of cytokines such as interleukin- (IL-) 1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) α in the POA, and this effect was similar to that induced by the treatment with systemic AChE inhibitor—donepezil (2.5 mg/animal). On the other hand, both AChE inhibitors did not influence the gene expression of these cytokines and their corresponding receptors in the CP. …”

“…The high NDF content presented in the chemical composition of the babassu mesocarp flour ranked the same as fibrous food, which can limit the inclusion in the diet of high production animals. So, babassu mesocarp flour is an alternative for energy source in lambs feed and can be added at levels up to 10%.…”
