The marginal zone is a unique structure at the marginal area of the splenic white pulp, acting as a transient region where newly arriving cells, antigens, and blood are filtered. The splenic marginal zone of the Barki sheep surrounds the white pulp and is present between the white and red pulp. It is made up of marginal zone sinuses and diffuse lymphoid tissue aggregation peppered with smooth muscle cells and erythrocytes and supported by reticular cells. Rod-shaped endothelial cells seating on an interrupted basement membrane are lining the marginal zone sinus, which is surrounded by the diffuse lymphoid tissue of the marginal zone, which is formed from different stages of maturation of: lymphocytes, plasma cells, dendritic cells, neutrophils, marginal zone macrophages, erythrocytes, platelets, and reticular cells, all of which are supported by a network of reticular fibers and smooth muscles. Motile lymphocytes with pseudopodia are present in the splenic marginal zone of the Barki sheep. Two forms of smooth muscles are also present: solitary and doubled reciprocal smooth muscles, which give the spleen a powerful ability to filter the blood and provide defense against foreign antigens, making it a unique intermediate type of spleen.

Fipronil (FPN), a phenyl pyrazole insecticide, has gotten a lot of attention recently because of its toxicity in mammals, mostly mediated by its effects on the antioxidant system. Quercetin is a flavonoid present in many fruits and vegetables that have been demonstrated to have a variety of beneficial biological effects, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Nanoparticles of quercetin have been shown to improve its solubility and stability, allowing for improved absorption, cellular absorption, and lower toxicity. The present study was undertaken to explore the prophylactic effect of quercetin nanoparticles (QueNPs) against sub-chronic FPN-induced hepatic injury and oxidative stress in male rats. Experimental animals were orally gavaged for four weeks. It has been shown that FPN elevated the sera of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) whereas serum total protein level was decreased. FIP also caused histological changes in hepatic tissue. The QueNPs counteracted the hepatotoxic effect of FPN exposure.

Introduction: Spleen is the largest secondary lymphatic organ in the body designed to respond immunologically to antigens circulating in the blood. Aim: describe the histoarchitectural features and morphometrical characters of the stroma of the Barki sheep’s spleen. Materials and Methods: the splenic stroma of 30 clinically healthy Barki sheep was studied using different histological, immunohistochemical, ultrastructural, and morphometrical techniques. Results: A prominent layer of smooth muscles with few sporadic collagen fibers form the capsule which was 676.29 μm and has a subcapsular sinus. Meanwhile, the trabeculae which were composed mainly of smooth muscle cells originate from the capsule into the splenic parenchyma branch into primary (517.095 μm thick), secondary (470.609 μm thick), and tertiary trabeculae (382.27 μm thick). The subcapsular blood sinuses and the peritrabecular blood sinuses all are connected and are engorged with blood cells mainly CD3+ T lymphocytes. Conclusion: the high amount of smooth muscles and very thick stroma is unique to Barki sheep’s spleen denoting an efficient storage function beside the defensive function. CD3 T lymphocytes in subcapsular and peritrabecular sinuses are to form a link between primed T lymphocytes and the underlying stromal elements, creating microenvironments suitable for effector responses.

Aflatoxin (AFB1) causes toxic effects and leads to organ damage in broilers. This study was conducted to evaluate the pathological effect of aflatoxin B1 on the kidneys of broilers and mitigate its effect by using Saccharomyces yeast cell walls (YCW) extract and nano curcumin (NC) as dietary supplements. A total of 150 one-day-old, unsexed Cobb broiler chicks were allocated into 5 groups. The experimental feeding was designed as follows: Group A: control diet, group B: control diet with 0.25 mg/kg aflatoxin (AFB1), group C: control diet with 0.25 mg/kg AFB1+ YCW 1 kg/ton, group D: control diet with 0.25 mg/kg AFB1+ NC 400 mg/kg, and group E: control diet with 0.25 mg/kg AFB1+ YCW 1 kg/ton + NC 200 mg/kg. Histopathology of the broiler kidneys was shown. Group A showed normal histology, whereas GB showed marked degenerative, necrotic, and desquamative of the renal tubular epithelium, glomerulus, and renal tubule. On the other side, GC, GD, and GE showed normal histology in which the nephron consists of the glomerulus and the renal tubule. The addition of YCW extract and nano curcumin can be an alternative to counteract the negative effect of AFB1 in broiler diets.

The present investigation aimed to describe two types of marine fish of different eating behavior (Carnivorous and omnivorous). The samples were collected from two different places, the Red porgy fishes were collected from the Red Sea while the Boops boops fishes were collected from the Mediterranean Sea. The total the Red porgy 20:23 while in Boops boops fishes were 17:18 cm. gross morphology the porgy was very thin. By SEM, the Red porgy upper lip was surrounded by different size teeth, it showed very striated and corrugated surface with different lines in its surface while the lower lip appeared with a cilia- like structure with different tall length and its apex somewhat thinner than its base. Boops boops fish upper lip appeared as a thick round structure with multiple prominent bumps which look-like small bushes gets out along the surface while its lower lip appeared very close to the teeth, it narrow anteriorly and increased in width posteriorly.

Escherichia coli O 157 :H 7 is a major food borne pathogens of concern worldwide so, the present study was carried out for isolation of E. coli O 157 :H 7 , molecular characterization, detection of virulence genes, antibiogram and phenotypic detection of Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) producers among isolated strains from raw camel milk goat meat and minced goat meat. A total of 66 samples (44 raw camel milk, 15 goat meat and 7 minced goat meat) were collected from local retail outlets, butcher's shop and super markets in Matrouh Governorate. Samples were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification using cultural, biochemical, PCR, antibiogram and phenotypic detection of ESBL. Out of 66 samples, 7 (10.6%) E. coli O 157 :H 7 isolates were recovered. All 7 (100%) tested isolates were positive for flic H7 gene. 4 (57.14%) isolates were positive for stx 1 but, none of the isolates were positive for stx 2 gene. E. coli O 157 :H 7 isolates showed susceptibility to gentamycin (28.6%), chloramphenicol (57.1%), cefepime and cefuroxime (14.3%) while intermediate susceptible to nalidixic acid (71.4%), streptomycin (57.1%), chloramphenicol, ampicillin and cefepime (14.3%), but resistant to cefotaxime and ceftazidime (100%), ampicillin and cefuroxime (85.7%), gentamycin and cefepime (71.4%), streptomycin (42.9%), nalidixic acid and chloramphenicol (28.6%). only 14.3% of isolates were ESBL producers. Consequently, the goat meat is one of the major sources of E. coli O 157 :H 7 in Matrouh Governorate. Multiple antibiotic resistant profiles of E. coli O 157 :H 7 show a risk for public health and food safety as well as animal production so, proper antibiotics usage in animal production also needs attention. 5.

Several factors are affecting the productivity of small ruminants, infectious diseases and their causative pathogens are one of the most detrimental factors. Blood protozoan parasites are pathogens affecting small ruminants worldwide, particularly Egypt. Thus, the current study was done for detecting the prevalence of the blood protozoan parasites among small ruminants in the North Coast of Egypt. This was done through collecting 366 blood samples from four districts at Matrouh governorate. Microscopic examination of the Giemsa-stained blood smears was done to reveal the overall infection rate. Results showed a total prevalence of 68.30% (Babesia ovis, Theileria ovis. and Anaplasma ovis.). Sheep recorded a higher prevalence of 84.8% than that of goat. Females recorded the highest infection rate with a highly significant association with infection in relation to the open breeding (X2=72.501, P. value=0.000). The same significant result was observed with the presence of ticks on the examined animals (X2 =46.711, P. value=0.000). When summed up, we can conclude that the lack of vector control in Matrouh governorate, associated with a bad housing of herd, ignorance of the proper animal management, and the open breeding system are the reasons for the widespread infection with blood protozoan parasites among small ruminants.
