Identification of two new genetic loci for high-resolution genotyping of Enterocytozoon bieneusi by Meng Xinan, Ou Yonglin, Jiang Wen, Guo Yaqiong, Xiao Lihua, Feng Yaoyu, Li Na

“…However, isolates in Group 11 and 12 could not be amplified at the hp1 and tub1 loci, supporting the previous conclusion of genetic uniqueness of the two genotype groups. The identified genetic markers and generated data could be used to develop a multilocus sequence typing tool for high-resolution genotyping of E. bieneusi, which would also have implications for understanding the taxonomy of Enterocytozoon spp., the public health significance of E. bieneusi in animals, and sources of E. bieneusi infections in humans.…”

Impact of long-term cyanotoxin exposure on cattle: Biochemical, histological, and oxidative stress assessment by Mounira Bensalem, Amina Amrani, Hadjer Zaidi, Fateh Sedrati, Omar Laouar, Zhi Wang, Hichem Nasri

“…Conclusion: Long-term MC exposure disrupts liver function and induces oxidative stress in cattle, implicating significant risks for both animal and human health. The bioaccumulation of cyanotoxins in livestock emphasizes the urgent need for preventive measures, including water monitoring, restricted livestock access to contaminated sites, and farmer education. …”
