Background: Due to their efficient insulation, lack of sweat glands, relatively quick metabolic rate, and heightened sensitivity to heat, the poultry industry faces a serious problem with heat stress. Combining vitamins has been demonstrated to be more effective than implementing a single vitamin in reducing the effects of heat stress.

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the multivitamin combination in feed on the growth performance, egg quality, and antioxidant enzymes in laying hens exposed to heat stress.

Methods: A total of 28 Isa Brown strains aged 18 weeks were randomly designated into seven groups with four replications, i.e., (C-) normal temperature group, (C+) heat stress group, and the others with the administration of vitamin A and E (AE), vitamin K and C (KC), vitamin C and E (CE), vitamin E and selenium (ESE), and vitamin C and folic acid (CAF). Feed intake, feed efficiency, eggshell thickness, shape index, haugh unit (HU), yolk, and albumen index were evaluated at 22, 23, 24, and 25 weeks. Meanwhile, antioxidant enzymes were quantified at 22 and 25 weeks.

Results: As a result, feed intake was reported a significant improvement in the AE and CE groups compared to the C+ group. Meanwhile, the feed efficiency was reported to be efficient in the CE and ESE groups. Based on egg quality evaluation, we reported significant shell thickness in the CE, ESE, and CAF groups compared to the C+; yolk index was reported slightly significant results in the AE and CAF groups; albumen index and HU were reported to increase significantly in the CAF group. Meanwhile, superoxide dismutase (SOD), malondialdehyde (MDA), and GPx activity were ameliorated significantly in the ESE and CAF groups.

Conclusion: Combinations of multivitamins can thereby enhance feed intake, feed efficiency, egg quality, and antioxidant activity. The CE, ESE, and CAF groups were found to have made equivalent improvements in the eggshell thickness, shape index, HU, yolk, and albumen index.

背景:由于家禽具有高效的隔热性能、缺乏汗腺、新陈代谢速度相对较快以及对热的敏感性较强等特点,家禽业面临着严重的热应激问题。目的:本研究旨在调查饲料中的多种维生素组合对暴露于热应激的蛋鸡的生长性能、鸡蛋质量和抗氧化酶的功效:将28只18周龄的伊莎褐种鸡随机分为7组,每组4次重复,即(C-)常温组、(C+)热应激组和添加维生素A和E(AE)、维生素K和C(KC)、维生素C和E(CE)、维生素E和硒(ESE)、维生素C和叶酸(CAF)组。在22、23、24和25周对采食量、饲料效率、蛋壳厚度、形状指数、豪氏单位(HU)、蛋黄和白蛋白指数进行了评估。同时,对 22 周和 25 周的抗氧化酶进行了定量:结果:与 C+ 组相比,AE 组和 CE 组的采食量显著提高。同时,CE 组和 ESE 组的饲料效率也很高。在鸡蛋质量评估方面,CE、ESE 和 CAF 组的蛋壳厚度与 C+ 组相比有明显改善;AE 和 CAF 组的蛋黄指数略有改善;CAF 组的白蛋白指数和 HU 显著增加。同时,ESE组和CAF组的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)和GPx活性明显改善:综合维生素可提高采食量、饲料效率、鸡蛋质量和抗氧化活性。CE 组、ESE 组和 CAF 组在蛋壳厚度、形状指数、HU、蛋黄和蛋白指数方面的改善程度相当。

Background: Chronic toxoplasmosis has been strongly implicated in the development of psychosis and schizophrenia. Additionally, the understanding of schizophrenia has been significantly reshaped by insights into N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction.

Aim: This study aimed to compare the behavioral, antioxidant, and NMDAR changes in mice subjected to Toxoplasma gondii infection and those treated with ketamine to induce schizophrenia-like symptoms.

Methods: Sixty male BALB/c mice were divided into six groups: toxoplasmosis (TOXO) (infected), ketamine-induced schizophrenia (KET), TOXO+KET, TOXO+sulfadiazine-trimethoprim treatment (SDT), TOXO+KET+SDT, and control (CON) (uninfected). After 10 weeks post-infection, behavioral tests were conducted, brain antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation were analyzed, and NMDA-NR1/NR2A expressions were assessed. TOXO and KET induced distinct behaviors: hyperlocomotion, anxiety, and memory impairment.

Results: Antioxidant enzyme levels decreased, and lipid peroxidation increased in TOXO and schizophrenic mice brains. NMDAR downregulation, especially NR-1 and NR2A, was evident due to T. gondii and ketamine. Sulfadiazine-trimethoprim ameliorated NMDAR downregulation, but not all of the behavioral alterations.

Conclusion: Further studies are needed to elucidate specific NMDAR subunit roles in toxoplasmosis-induced pathophysiology, offering potential therapeutic insights. This investigation highlights the intricate relationship between chronic toxoplasmosis, NMDAR dysfunction, and schizophrenia-like behaviors. Insights gained could pave the way for innovative interventions targeting both cognitive and neurological impairments associated with these conditions.

背景:慢性弓形虫病与精神病和精神分裂症的发展有着密切联系。此外,对 N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸受体(NMDAR)功能减退的研究也极大地重塑了人们对精神分裂症的认识。目的:本研究旨在比较弓形虫感染小鼠和氯胺酮诱导精神分裂症样症状小鼠的行为、抗氧化和 NMDAR 变化:将60只雄性BALB/c小鼠分为六组:弓形虫病(TOXO)(感染)组、氯胺酮诱导的精神分裂症(KET)组、TOXO+KET组、TOXO+磺胺嘧啶-三甲双胍治疗(SDT)组、TOXO+KET+SDT组和对照组(CON)(未感染)。感染后10周进行行为测试,分析大脑抗氧化状态和脂质过氧化反应,并评估NMDA-NR1/NR2A的表达。TOXO和KET诱导了不同的行为:过度运动、焦虑和记忆障碍:结果:TOXO 和精神分裂症小鼠大脑中的抗氧化酶水平降低,脂质过氧化增加。由于淋球菌和氯胺酮的作用,NMDAR(尤其是 NR-1 和 NR2A)明显下调。磺胺嘧啶-三甲氧苄啶能改善 NMDAR 的下调,但不能改善所有的行为改变:结论:需要进一步研究来阐明特定 NMDAR 亚基在弓形虫病诱导的病理生理学中的作用,从而提供潜在的治疗见解。这项研究强调了慢性弓形虫病、NMDAR 功能障碍和精神分裂症样行为之间错综复杂的关系。所获得的见解可为针对与这些病症相关的认知和神经损伤的创新干预措施铺平道路。

Pathophysiological and pro-inflammatory cytokine surveys on livestock normally infected with Taenia saginata cysticercosis. 对正常感染矢车菊弓形虫囊尾蚴病的家畜进行病理生理学和促炎细胞因子调查。
IF 0.9 Q3 VETERINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2024-07-31 DOI: 10.5455/OVJ.2024.v14.i7.9

Background: Cattle and buffaloes can contract cysticercosis, an infection of the muscles brought on by Taenia saginata larvae. Despite having a global spread, cysticercosis is more prevalent in impoverished nations due to impaired hygiene standards. It has been discovered that Taenia saginata cysticercosis routine visual diagnosis is not very effective, especially in mild infections. Therefore, a more trustworthy in vivo test might be used as an alternative in slaughterhouses and epidemiological studies. Biochemical assays are possibly utilized as an alternative to detect cysticercosis inside a topical environment.

Aim: Investigating serum biochemical alterations in cattle with cysticercosis was the goal of the current research. As a further method of diagnosis, it was also determined how Cysticercus bovis affected pro-inflammatory cytokines and histopathology.

Methods: Blood samples from 42 slaughtered cattle (21 healthy and 21 sick animals) were taken from Assiut abattoir. Using an ELISA and spectrophotometer, respectively, their serum's pro-inflammatory cytokines and biochemical profile were evaluated. These cattle were chosen between March 2023 and February 2024.

Results: A percentage of 4.6% of the 455 cattle examined after being slaughtered had T. saginata cysticerci infections. All values in the serum biochemistry were considerably different (p < 0.01), whereas the majority of biochemical parameters increased significantly (p < 0.01) in infected animals. In contrast, there was a substantial (p < 0.01) decline in HDL-c, SOD, CAT, and GSH. On the other hand, procytokine inflammatory indices for both TNF-α and IL-1β indicated a substantial increase (p < 0.01) in infected cattle. Additionally, the histological results revealed significant alterations in the tissues of infected livestock.

Conclusion: This has been inferred cysticercosis possesses negative impacts on cattle's plasma biochemical profiles, indicating the field applicability of biochemical measures in outbreaks of bovine cysticercosis. Pro-inflammatory cytokine indices and histological changes could be included as further indicators of T. saginata cysticercosis in cattle.

背景:牛和水牛可能会感染囊尾蚴病,这是一种由矢车菊球尾蚴引起的肌肉感染。尽管囊尾蚴病遍布全球,但由于卫生标准不高,囊尾蚴病在贫困国家更为流行。研究发现,矢车菊弓形虫囊尾蚴病的常规肉眼诊断并不十分有效,尤其是在轻度感染的情况下。因此,可以在屠宰场和流行病学研究中使用更可靠的活体检测作为替代。生化检测法可作为在局部环境中检测囊尾蚴病的替代方法。目的:调查患有囊尾蚴病的牛的血清生化变化是当前研究的目标。作为进一步的诊断方法,研究还确定了囊尾蚴如何影响促炎细胞因子和组织病理学:方法:从阿苏特屠宰场采集了 42 头屠宰牛(21 头健康牛和 21 头病牛)的血液样本。分别使用 ELISA 和分光光度计对其血清中的促炎细胞因子和生化指标进行评估。这些牛是在 2023 年 3 月至 2024 年 2 月期间被选中的:结果:在屠宰后接受检查的 455 头牛中,有 4.6% 感染了囊尾蚴。血清生化指标的所有数值都有很大差异(p < 0.01),而感染动物的大多数生化指标都显著增加(p < 0.01)。相反,HDL-c、SOD、CAT 和 GSH 则大幅下降(p < 0.01)。另一方面,TNF-α 和 IL-1β 的前细胞因子炎症指数在受感染的牛中都有大幅上升(p < 0.01)。此外,组织学结果显示,受感染牲畜的组织发生了显著变化:结论:囊尾蚴病对牛的血浆生化指标有负面影响,这表明生化指标在牛囊尾蚴病爆发中的实地适用性。促炎细胞因子指数和组织学变化可作为牛囊尾丝虫病的进一步指标。

Background: Bovine babesiosis represents a serious challenge for animal health, herd production, and profitability. Understanding the epidemiology and risk factors associated with babesiosis is critical to reduce their negative impacts.

Aim: Investigation of the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with Babesia bigemina (B. bigemina) and Babesia bovis (B. bovis) in five districts in Sharkia governorate using ELISA.

Methods: Across-sectional research was conducted to determine the seropositivity of babesiosis by collecting a total of 352 blood samples from 250 cattle and 102 buffaloes. A multivariate logistic regression model was implemented to evaluate the strength of the risk factors associated with both Babesia species infection.

Results: The seroprevalence of B. bigemina and B. bovis was 42.6% and 17.0 %, respectively. The prevalence of babesiosis in cattle was found to be 48.8% for B. bigemina and 16.8% for B. bovis. Inclusive, in buffaloes, the prevalence was 27.5% for B. bigemina and 17.6% for B. bovis. Adult animals were more vulnerable to infection with babesia than young animals by 3-5 times, respectively. Males were more susceptible to B. bigemina and B. bovis than females by 3.7 and 3.5 times. Similarly, the odds of infection in infested animals with ticks were 2-4 times higher than in animals without ticks.

Conclusion: The obtained results revealed that age, sex of the animal, and tick infestation were major risk factors for the seropositivity of both Babesia species. Inclusive, there was no evidence to support the premise that seroprevalence of babesiosis is correlated with the season and species.

背景:牛巴贝西亚原虫病对动物健康、畜群生产和盈利能力构成了严峻挑战。目的:使用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)调查沙尔基亚省五个地区巴贝西亚比格米纳虫(B. bigemina)和牛巴贝西亚虫(B. bovis)的血清阳性率和相关风险因素:通过收集 250 头牛和 102 头水牛的 352 份血液样本,进行了横断面研究,以确定巴贝西亚原虫病的血清阳性率。采用多变量逻辑回归模型评估与两种巴贝西亚原虫感染相关的风险因素的强度:结果:巴贝西亚原虫和牛巴贝西亚原虫的血清阳性率分别为 42.6% 和 17.0%。牛的巴贝西亚原虫病发病率分别为 48.8% 和 16.8%。水牛的巴贝西亚原虫感染率为 27.5%,牛巴贝西亚原虫感染率为 17.6%。成年水牛比幼年水牛更容易感染巴贝西亚原虫,分别高出3-5倍。雄性动物比雌性动物更容易感染巴贝西亚原虫和包虫病,分别是雌性动物的3.7倍和3.5倍。同样,有蜱虫感染的动物的感染几率是无蜱动物的2-4倍:结果表明,动物的年龄、性别和蜱虫感染是两种巴贝西亚原虫血清阳性的主要风险因素。总之,没有证据支持巴贝西亚原虫病的血清阳性率与季节和物种相关这一前提。

Myricetin ameliorates arsenic-induced hematological changes, immune dysfunction, oxidative stress, hepatic and renal injuries and promotes inflammatory genes in rats. 杨梅素能改善砷引起的大鼠血液学变化、免疫功能障碍、氧化应激、肝脏和肾脏损伤,并促进炎症基因。
IF 0.9 Q3 VETERINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2024-07-31 DOI: 10.5455/OVJ.2024.v14.i7.17

Background: Arsenic (ARS) is a toxic heavy metal that poses a significant concern for both animal and human health.

Aim: The study investigated the ameliorative effect of myricetin (MRC) against arsenic-induced immune dysfunction, oxidative stress, hematological changes, hepatic and renal injuries, and inflammatory gene expression in rats.

Methods: Rats were divided into 4 groups: the control group (CON) received orally administered distilled water (1 ml/rat), and the ARS group received 10 mg/kg orally, the MRC group received 5 mg of MRC/kg orally, and the co-treated group (ARS+MRC) received 10 mg/kg of ARS and 5 mg/kg b.w. of MRC orally.

Results: The results showed that co-treatment of ARS-exposed rats with MRC significantly corrected erythrocyte parameters (except MCV) and leukocyte parameters (except basophils; p < 0.05). Furthermore, the ARS group significantly reduced total proteins and globulins while significantly increasing liver functions and uric acid levels (p < 0.05). Co-administration with MRC significantly mitigated the heart indices (gamma-glutamyl transferase, creatine phosphokinase, CK, lactate dehydrogenase) and lipid dysfunction caused by ARS exposure (p < 0.05). In ARS-exposed rats, there was a significant reduction in antioxidant enzymes and immunoglobulins (IgG and IgM), as well as significantly increased oxidative stress (p < 0.05). The MRC treatment effectively restored the redox status and immune variables that were disrupted by ARS exposure. Serum levels of nitric acid and lysosome were significantly lower, while levels of IL-4, TNF-α, and IFN-γ were higher in the ARS group compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Immunohistopathology revealed that the expression of Cox2 in kidney and liver tissues varied from mild to moderate in the ARS+MRC group. Furthermore, the ARS-induced upregulation of mRNA levels of inflammatory genes such as IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-10, and IL-6 in hepatic tissues and MRC significantly attenuated this elevation. These findings suggest that ARS has detrimental effects on blood hematology and health, triggering specific inflammatory genes and indicating the genotoxicity of ARS. However, co-treatment with MYC can mitigate these negative effects.

Conclusion: MRC exhibits a significant protective effect against ARS due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

背景:目的:本研究探讨了杨梅素(MRC)对砷诱导的大鼠免疫功能障碍、氧化应激、血液学变化、肝肾损伤和炎症基因表达的改善作用:大鼠分为4组:对照组(CON)口服蒸馏水(1毫升/只),ARS组口服10毫克/千克,MRC组口服5毫克/千克MRC,联合治疗组(ARS+MRC)口服10毫克/千克ARS和5毫克/千克MRC:结果表明,ARS暴露大鼠与MRC联合治疗可显著改善红细胞参数(MCV除外)和白细胞参数(嗜碱性粒细胞除外;P < 0.05)。此外,ARS 组大鼠的总蛋白和球蛋白明显降低,而肝功能和尿酸水平则明显升高(p < 0.05)。与 MRC 联合用药可明显减轻 ARS 暴露导致的心脏指数(γ-谷氨酰转移酶、肌酸磷酸激酶、肌酸激酶、乳酸脱氢酶)和脂质功能障碍(p < 0.05)。在暴露于 ARS 的大鼠中,抗氧化酶和免疫球蛋白(IgG 和 IgM)显著减少,氧化应激显著增加(p < 0.05)。MRC 治疗可有效恢复因暴露于 ARS 而受到破坏的氧化还原状态和免疫变量。与其他组相比,ARS 组的血清硝酸和溶酶体水平明显降低,而 IL-4、TNF-α 和 IFN-γ 水平较高(P < 0.05)。免疫组织病理学显示,ARS+MRC 组患者肾脏和肝脏组织中 Cox2 的表达从轻度到中度不等。此外,ARS 引起肝组织中 IFN-γ、TNF-α、IL-10 和 IL-6 等炎症基因 mRNA 水平的上调,而 MRC 能显著减轻这种上调。这些研究结果表明,ARS 会对血液和健康产生不利影响,引发特定的炎症基因,并显示出 ARS 的基因毒性。然而,与 MYC 联合治疗可减轻这些负面影响:结论:MRC 具有抗炎和抗氧化特性,对 ARS 有明显的保护作用。

Prognostic factors and survival following radiation therapy for canine nasal tumors: A single-institution retrospective study of 166 cases. 犬鼻腔肿瘤放射治疗后的预后因素和存活率:对 166 例病例的单一机构回顾性研究。
IF 0.9 Q3 VETERINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2024-07-31 DOI: 10.5455/OVJ.2024.v14.i7.3

Background: Prognostic factors in dogs with nasal tumors include several variables. However, factors that can measure prognosis have not yet been identified due to considerable divergence among reports.

Aim: To describe the computed tomography (CT) imaging, treatment, and outcomes of dogs with nasal tumors, as well as detect negative prognostic factors through the analysis of a substantial number of cases from a single institution. Furthermore, based on CT findings, this study aimed to identify independent prognostic factors for nasal tumors in dogs.

Methods: A total of 166 client-owned dogs were diagnosed with nasal tumors at Gifu University Veterinary Hospital between 2015 and 2019. Data were retrospectively collected from the electronic medical records.

Results: Univariate analysis revealed a significant difference in survival time between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma in 166 canine nasal tumors treated with megavoltage (MeV) radiation therapy at a single institution (p = .015). There was a significant difference in survival time between carcinoma and sarcoma (p = .04). Regarding CT imaging findings, significant differences in survival time were observed for frontal sinus invasion (p = .007), cribriform plate destruction (p < .001), and lymph node metastasis (p = .003). Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to assess frontal sinus invasion, cribriform plate destruction, histopathologic subtypes, and lymph node metastasis as negative prognostic factors; however, only cribriform plate destruction was a significant negative prognostic factor for survival time (p = .004).

Conclusion: Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that cribriform plate destruction was the main factor in predicting a negative prognosis among 166 canine nasal tumors treated with MeV radiation therapy at a single institution. Therefore, we propose a new 2-tier staging classification for canine nasal tumors with the presence or absence of cribriform plate destruction based on CT examination as the only evaluation factor.

背景:犬鼻腔肿瘤的预后因素包括多个变量。目的:通过对一家机构的大量病例进行分析,描述患有鼻腔肿瘤的犬的计算机断层扫描(CT)成像、治疗和预后情况,并检测负面预后因素。此外,根据 CT 检查结果,本研究还旨在确定犬鼻腔肿瘤的独立预后因素:方法:2015 年至 2019 年期间,岐阜大学兽医院共诊断出 166 只客户饲养的狗患有鼻腔肿瘤。数据从电子病历中回顾性收集:单变量分析显示,在一家机构接受兆伏特(MeV)放射治疗的166只犬鼻腔肿瘤患者中,腺癌和鳞癌的生存时间存在显著差异(p = .015)。癌和肉瘤的存活时间存在明显差异(p = .04)。在CT成像结果方面,额窦侵犯(p = .007)、楔形骨板破坏(p < .001)和淋巴结转移(p = .003)的生存时间存在显著差异。多变量考克斯回归分析评估了额窦侵犯、楔形板破坏、组织病理学亚型和淋巴结转移作为负性预后因素;然而,只有楔形板破坏是生存时间的显著负性预后因素(p = .004):多变量 Cox 回归分析表明,在一家机构接受 MeV 放射治疗的 166 例犬鼻腔肿瘤中,楔形板破坏是预测预后不良的主要因素。因此,我们提出了一种新的犬鼻腔肿瘤两级分期分类法,将基于 CT 检查的有无楔形板破坏作为唯一的评估因素。

Background: The Harderian gland in domestic birds is a major paraocular excretory gland that has an important role in tear production as well as in the immune protection of the conjunctiva surface.

Aim: The aim of this research was to investigate the arterial and venous supply of the gland in hens and provide valuable and useful information for future research.

Methods: The research was conducted on 26 adult hens, provenience of Lohmann Brown. For the identification and determination of blood vessels, we used the vascular corrosion cast technique in conjunction with the transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Results: The casts showed that the gland receives the arterial supply via branches of a. ophthalmotemporalis and a. nasalis communis and these arteries are accompanied by the corresponding veins. Ultrastructural analyses showed the presence of fenestrated capillaries, which indicates the possibility for permeability of larger molecules.

Conclusion: The present research gives important and detailed information about the arterial and venous supply of the Harderian gland in hens that may serve as guidelines for future vascular and morphological investigations.

The potential of Myrmecodia pendans in preventing complications of diabetes mellitus as an antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic agent. Myrmecodia pendans 作为一种抗糖尿病和抗高血脂药物在预防糖尿病并发症方面的潜力。
IF 0.9 Q3 VETERINARY SCIENCES Pub Date : 2024-07-01 Epub Date: 2024-07-31 DOI: 10.5455/OVJ.2024.v14.i7.10

Background: Hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) can lead to dyslipidemia, which is a risk factor for macrovascular complications such as heart disease and stroke. Aside from administering antidiabetic medications, DM treatment can also be achieved through the use of natural components, such as Myrmecodia pendans, commonly known as the ant nest plant (ANP).

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of administering the ANP on the lipid profile of Wistar rats.

Methods: A group of 20 rats was divided into two categories: 6 rats served as healthy controls (H), while the remaining 14 rats were subjected to a high-lipid diet and streptozotocin to generate a model of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The diabetic rats were divided into two groups: the DM group consisted of rats that did not receive any treatment, while the ANP group was administered the herb orally.

Results: The results revealed significant variations in triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels among the three groups (p < 0.05). The post hoc test revealed disparities in triglyceride and LDL between those in the DM group and the ANP group (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: Myrmecodia pendans demonstrated the ability to decrease triglyceride and LDL, while increasing HDL levels in rats with T2DM.

背景:糖尿病(DM)患者的高血糖可导致血脂异常,而血脂异常是心脏病和中风等大血管并发症的危险因素。除了服用抗糖尿病药物外,还可以通过使用天然成分来治疗 DM,如 Myrmecodia pendans(俗称蚂蚁窝植物(ANP)):方法:20 只大鼠分为两组:6只大鼠作为健康对照组(H),其余14只大鼠接受高脂饮食和链脲佐菌素治疗,以产生2型糖尿病(T2DM)模型。糖尿病大鼠被分为两组:DM 组大鼠未接受任何治疗,而 ANP 组大鼠则口服草药:结果显示,三组大鼠的甘油三酯、高密度脂蛋白(HDL)和低密度脂蛋白(LDL)水平存在明显差异(P < 0.05)。事后检验显示,DM 组和 ANP 组的甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白存在差异(P < 0.05):结论:Myrmecodia pendans能够降低T2DM大鼠的甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白,同时提高高密度脂蛋白水平。

Background: An ectoparasite known as Dermanyssus gallinae feeds on infected blood with a high frequency in European chicken farms resulting in significant economic losses.

Aim: The objective of the current work was to characterize D. gallinae, which infests laying hens on farms in Southern Al-Baha morphologically, and molecularly, and to determine the evolutionary relationship between the species.

Methods: All mites that were morphologically recognized as D. gallinae were submitted to molecular analysis by PCR, which focused on the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (cox1) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of ribosomal DNA.

Results: Morphological identification of the parasites uncovered three distinct features: a triangular anal shield, a broader than longer sternal shield, and a rounded posterior genitoventral shield. Each D. gallinae sample was amplified using a single band, measuring 550 bp for the cox1-targeting PCR, and 530 bp for the ITS-targeting PCR. The sequences of D. gallinae were added to the GenBank.

Conclusion: At the molecular identification level, this research identifies D. gallinae in Al-Baha for the first time. The results collectively provide a foundation for further research to understand the epidemiology and the part of this superfamily in the epidemiology of certain zoonosis.

背景:目的:本次研究的目的是从形态学和分子学上描述为害南部巴哈(Al-Baha)农场蛋鸡的 D. gallinae 的特征,并确定该物种之间的进化关系:方法:对所有从形态学上确认为五倍子螨的螨虫进行聚合酶链式反应(PCR)分子分析,重点分析线粒体细胞色素氧化酶亚单位 I(cox1)和核糖体 DNA 内部转录间隔(ITS):结果:寄生虫的形态学鉴定发现了三个明显的特征:三角形肛盾、宽于长的胸盾和圆形的后膝腹盾。每个 D. gallinae 样品都使用单个条带进行扩增,cox1-targeting PCR 的条带长度为 550 bp,ITS-targeting PCR 的条带长度为 530 bp。D. gallinae 的序列已被添加到 GenBank 中:结论:在分子鉴定层面,本研究首次发现了巴哈地区的 D. gallinae。这些结果为进一步研究该超家族的流行病学及其在某些人畜共患病流行病学中的作用奠定了基础。
