Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a serious danger to the world’s poultry industry and can result in huge financial losses. Emerging virus strains and vaccination failures pose a threat to traditional control measures like vaccination, which is why other approaches must be investigated. The antiviral qualities of thymol and carvacrol, two important...

Hormonal derangements, abnormal menstrual patterns, and metabolic impairment are the characteristics of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It is a frequent endocrine disease among both women and certain small animals. PCOS is associated with oxidative stress, obesity, insulin resistance, and hyperandrogenism, all of which contribute to the complex p...

As known from the history of the pandemic, the Avian Influenza virus can potentially be one of the deadliest viruses of poultry. The various strains of the Avian Influenza virus also affect different animal species, including humans. Due to its continually changing genome, this virus has become more resistant to current antiviral medications and...

Nanotechnology has a revolutionary function in sustainable agriculture by maximizing productivity with the least possible environmental effects. Nano-pesticides provide targeted pest control with reduced toxicity and greater efficacy. Nano sensors provide specific detection of soil health and plant wellness, maximizing the use of resources. Nanotec...

Starch is a vital nutrient and the main source of carbohydrates for plant growth. While starch is essential for plants' energy source, a network of hormonal signals controls growth and development and auxin is especially important in this case. According to current research, auxin is a plant hormone that affects gene expression and enzyme activity...

The fast expansion of industrial zones, particularly in the textile sector, has resulted in higher production rates and the formation of dye-laden wastewater, creating substantial environmental and health problems. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) manufactured utilizing green technologies and plant extracts have emerged as a viable wastewater treatment...

The necessity for more agricultural production can be fulfilled by increasing crop productivity because the cultivated area is constrained. The main source of food and nutrients for domestic animals and humans comes directly or indirectly from agriculture. However, along with climate change, plant diseases, pests, poor soil health, weeds, natura...

All animal species are infected with parasitic nematodes, which are extremely widespread and diverse. Their significance in natural ecosystems is becoming increasingly clear. Host movement has long been known to have a significant role in deciding the genetic makeup of parasitic nematode populations. More recently, studies have emphasized the si...

Livestock, mainly the bovines, plays an important role in rural livelihood and economies of different countries globally because they are a potent source of employment and income for workers and producers. Several viruses causing numerous deadly diseases have affected bovines over the years. Foot and mouth disease caused by the lethal foot and mout...

Cancer or malignant tumors are major global health concerns and limited treatment regimens are hazardous threats to people. Mostly malignant tumors are caused by various genetic and environmental factors. Various chemical agents have been used over the years to treat and limit this disease but due to unsatisfactory and insufcient results, researche...

Despite the significant progress made in the field of medical science and therapies, tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a leading cause of mortality and socioeconomic devastation for millions of individuals globally. This issue has been a persistent concern for humanity throughout recorded history and prehistoric times. The efficacy of tuberculosis...

Coccidiosis is a protozoan disease caused by Eimeria species and is a major threat to the poultry industry. Different anti-coccidial drugs (diclazuril, amprolium, halofuginone, ionophores, sulphaquinoxaline, clopidol, and ethopabate) and vaccines have been used for their control. Still, due to the development of resistance, their efficacy has been...

Interactions between nanoparticles and eukaryotic cells are nearly inevitable once they gain entry into the cell. Such accidental interactions between immune cells and nanoparticles may trigger a destructive chemical response and increase the risk for autoimmune diseases, tumors, and infections. Nanoparticles can also interface with biologic system...

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short, usually positively charged, polypeptides which are widely used to overcome the threat of the antimicrobial resistance. The potential of the AMPs is increasing as a new class of antibiotics. They have a broad range of activity against the gram positive bacteria, gram negative bacteria, and fungi. D...

The growing interest in nanoparticles in modern research is due to their potential uses in different fields of study. Throughout human history, individuals have been exposed to environmental nanosized particles, and over the past century, these exposures have significantly risen. Through injection, ingestion, and inhalation, nanoparticles can chang...

This chapter goes into detail about the complicated world of infectious viruses, focusing on their wide range of genetic variations and the things that allow them to infect different species. Living things on Earth are all linked, and these germs, which have caused pandemics in the past, show how connected everything is. Zoonotic diseases, which in...

Antibiotics have been used as growth promotors to enhance poultry’s growth performance and feed efficiency. However, their use leads to various side effects like antimicrobial resistance (AMR), destruction of beneficial bacteria, and microbes in the gut, and dysbiosis with time. Various alternatives have been used over the years to overcome the pou...

Parasites pose a potential threat to livestock farming by inflicting heavy economic losses, thus, emphasizing their control for successful farming. Conventionally, this control has long been achieved through anti-parasitic drugs. However, due to the emergence of resistance in parasites against these drugs and the presence of their residues in anima...

The COVID-19 epidemic has globally influenced every significant facet of our societies. SARSCov-2 can withstand severe environmental conditions for up to 72 hours, which may be a factor in the virus's quick dissemination. As a result, efficient containment measures like sanitization, therapy, and vaccination are essential. An alternative to stop th...

Several symbiotic microbes remain in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. These micro-organisms are beneficial because of their assisting role in digestion, preventing pathogens’ entry, blocking harmful pathogens, and providing several functional molecules to the organisms. The irrational use of antimicrobial chemical drugs, increased...

Aquaculture, the fastest-growing sector of aquatic animal production, plays an essential role in addressing global food security and nutritional needs. However, traditional aquaculture diets frequently use fishmeal and fish oil from marine species that caught in wild environments, creating problems from an ecological, moral, and financial standpoin...

Staphylococcus aureus is a notorious gram-positive bacterium that presents life threatening consequences by affecting both humans and animals. Methicillin is a semisynthetic antibiotic that is used as an antibacterial, especially for S. aureus and infections caused by S. aureus. Methicillin-resistant as a significant risk to world health, S. au...

The experiments were conducted to assess the acaricidal and repellent activities of Amomum subulatum (A. subulatum) (Black cardamom) essential oil against Hyalomma ticks in bovines. Gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) was performed to identify the chemical components of A. subulatum essential oil. The acaricidal and repellent act...

Over the past 20 years, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has grown to be a global concern to public health systems everywhere.
