Significant economic losses have been caused by the infectious viral infection known as lumpy skin disease (LSD), which is afflicting livestock in Pakistan. Even while there are now vaccinations, they are not ideal because of certain constraints. This paper explores the exciting field of improved LSD immunization using vaccines based on nanoparticl...
Nanotechnology involves the creation of nanomaterials, including nanoparticles, which exhibit unique properties because of their nanoscale size (1-100nm). These particles differ significantly from bulk materials in their chemical, optical, physical, and electrical characteristics, primarily because of their large surface area-to-volume ratio and qu...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a primary vector-borne disease known to be transmitted through tick bites from Hyalomma species. CCHF is endemic in Africa, Balkans, Middle East and Asia, including countries south of the 50th parallel north. CCHF outbreaks have a case fatality rate up to 40%. Contact with infected tissues, blood, patients,...
Essential oils (EOs) are volatile mixtures of nonpolar molecules that are extracted from aromatic plant components. They are highly concentratedhave a range of biological and pharmacological characteristics consist of terpenes, terpenoids, and phenylpropanoids. The Veterinary field, which is growing, is interested in EOs as a potential solution for...
The dairy industry is heavily damaged by the disease known as bovine mastitis. Bovine mastitis occurs when pathogenic microbes infiltrate into the mammary gland and cause the destruction of tissues. Due to that, there will be a reduction in milk production and quality and also financial losses to the dairy department by culling the animals and expa...
Parasitic diseases are the most neglected diseases worldwide. They can cause billions of dollars in loss to the world economy. Parasites can cause different diseases in animals as well as human beings. Contemporarily, no significant vaccination protocol against parasitic diseases is available worldwide to prevent these diseases prophylactically. Tr...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the anthelmintic activity of aqueous extracts of Azadirachta indica (Neem), Mallotus philippinensis (Kamala), Melia azedarach (Bakain), and their combination as herbal extracts against Ascaridia galli infection. To determine efficacy, egg hatch test (EHT) and adult motility assay (AMS) were performed usin...
This chapter covers a thorough examination of the rapid growth of mRNA vaccine technology and its potential uses in battling infectious diseases, notably parasitic disorders. It emphasizes the outstanding safety, rapidity, and repeatability of mRNA vaccines, making them viable tools in vaccinology. It explores the distinct advantages of mRNA vaccin...
Background. The poultry sector is crucial in addressing nutritional deficiencies since it provides essential nutrients and proteins. To achieve optimal chicken production, it is important to understand how the gut microbiota functions, as it affects immunity, digestion, and pathogen control. This study examines the effects of Sodium Gluconate (SG)...
This study explores the toxic effects of ochratoxin (OTA) and the potential of Borax to control them, addressing poultry feed contamination in Pakistan. It aims to ameliorate ochratoxin-related issues in the industry. In this experiment, 270 one-day-old broiler chicks were divided into six groups, each having three replicates: Group A controlled, w...
Dairy farming is an essential part of Pakistan's economy contributing significantly to the country’s total milk production. Abundant cattle milk production has made it the most widely consumed milk around the World. However, mastitis is the inflammation in which the parenchymal cells of the mammary gland are involved. Visual assessment of udder and...
Buffalo milk quality including fat, protein, and total solids varied as a function of season. Therefore, various types of
adulterants are added to buffalo milk by suppliers to enhance the parameters because these parameters are used by milk
processors as indicators to calculate the payout to the milk suppliers. Frequently used adulterants were ski...
Background: Zoonotic diseases pose a significant public health challenge globally, with developing countries like Pakistan facing heightened risks due to various factors such as climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic disparities. These diseases, transmitted between animals and humans, have profound implications for healthcare...
Cinnamon is a perennial plant deeply rooted in the world of ethnopharmacology. It is one of the most ubiquitous spices revered globally. Its historical use as a traditional phytomedicine spans several centuries. Cinnamon is a medicinal plant with different compounds in its bark, leaves, fruits, and roots, like cinnamaldehyde, cinnamate, and cinnami...
Milk is a complex mixture enriched with nutrients, minerals and vitamins which are considered crucial for normal growth and functioning of vital organs. Consumers are quite interested in buffalo milk composition due to its direct relation with human health. The study was performed to investigate the effects of seasonal variation on buffalo milk com...
Rat Bite Fever is an emerging and re-emerging zoonotic disease that occurs in periodic, endemic, and epidemic forms. It is an acute, febrile, and systemic disease classically characterized by acute relapsing fever, rashes, migratory polyarthritis which affects the hands, wrists, and knees. In 1926, in Haverhill, Massachusetts, a large bacterial out...
The complex landscape of mRNA vaccines is explored in this in-depth review, which focuses on the cutting edge of vaccine research against the deadly parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Parasite life cycle, significance, and host range are introduced, and then the importance of developing new vaccines is stressed. The report elucidates the context of va...
Coronaviruses can produce a mild disease, equivalent to the common cold,
or a more serious illness, such as MERS or SARS (which stand for Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome and serious acute respiratory syndrome,
respectively). The severity of the illness is determined by the host's immune
system. Coronaviruses are a kind of pandemic virus that m...
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 review article addresses the significant issue of antibiotic resistance, focusing on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections and
its potential threat to public health. It highlights the challenges in treating these infections due to the diverse nature of S. aureus strains
and emphasizes the global impact of antimicrobial resistance [AMR]....
Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a deadly viral disease that is spread by ticks, especially by Hyalomma species. It has
spread worldwide but in developed countries, its spreading has been controlled in underdeveloped countries, especially Asian
countries are at risk. Recently in the Balochistan province of Pakistan, an outbreak emerged w...
This review examines the nictitating membrane, a specialized third eyelid present in various animal groups, and its relation to the plica
semilunaris. It highlights the distinctive features of the nictitating membrane in birds, its sophisticated neuro-muscular mechanism, and
its protective role in maintaining vision.
Cinnamaldehyde, found in cinnamon essential oils, has been found to obstruct harmful bacteria both in laboratory experiments and in human food. Conformist antibiotics and antibacterial drugs have been effective in obstructing bacterial infections, but their excessive use has directed the development of resistant bacterial strains.
In arid and semi-arid regions of the world, camels are an essential multipurpose animal. The ship of the desert is being used for
transportation, meat production, wool, and hides production while milk is also a very valuable product concerning nutritious and
economical importance. The single-humped camel (Camelus dromedarius) also known as the Arab...

detection have become essential. This review offers a broad ov...
72 broiler chicks were purchased and there reared for an anticoccidial trial. They were divided into 6
equal groups and given the experimental infection of sporulated oocysts of Eimeria orally on the 7th day
of their age except for one group, which was no-infected control. Three groups were given the essential
oil of Foeniculum vulgare @ 1, 2, a...
