In current study, anti-parasitic properties of Nicotiana tabacum leaves (N. tabacum L.) and their traditional use in ethno-veterinary therapy were investigated using both in-vitro and in-vivo approaches. Crude aqueous extracts (CAE) of N. tabacum L. were used to evaluate in-vitro antiparasitic effect of Haemonchus (H.) placei that had been directly...

Understanding the role of the toll-like receptor (TLR) genes in responses to fungal (Fusarium solani) infections is essential to avoid disease outbreaks in the aquaculture industry. This study evaluated the response of eleven TLR genes including protein toll-like receptor-1 (PTL-1), Toll-like receptor 13 × isoform (TLR-13x), Toll-like receptor Toll...

Optogenetics is a novel biotechnology widely used to precisely manipulate a specific peripheral sensory neuron or neural circuit. However, the use of optogenetics to assess the therapeutic efficacy of analgesics is elusive. In this study, we generated a transgenic mouse stain in which all primary somatosensory neurons can be optogenetically activat...

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...

Leishmaniasis is a protozoan infection with chronic manifestation, having high morbidity and mortality rates, and adversely affecting almost every species of animals. It is a globally prevalent vector-borne disease throughout all tropical and subtropical regions. Twenty intracellular species belonging to the genus Leishmania cause all types of leis...

A comprehensive study was conducted to investigate the effect of temperature variations of water bath along with the sample’s storage duration on the results of the glutaraldehyde coagulation test (GCT), being developed for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Furthermore, association of GCT results and duration of tuberculosis, tuberculosis + Hepatitis...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of eubiotics on the intestinal morphology of broilers. For this purpose, 125 birds were divided into six groups with two replicates each (10 birds in each replicate). Group A was given a Basal diet. All groups except group A were challenged with Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. Group B...

Complemantory and Alternative Medicine: One Health Perspectives

Toxoplasmosis, caused by Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii), remains a significant public health problem. Recently, it has been shown that the antigens targeting the dendritic cells (DCs) is a promising way to enhance the immune responses against pathogens and tumors. In this study, we constructed and evaluated a new DNA vaccine of T. gondii, based on t...

Zoonotic diseases have a large share among all infectious diseases. The animals can be a source of the spread of a large variety of pathogens to humans leading to morbidities and mortalities. Rodents are commonly found in mammals all over the world. A large number of rodents live in close association with humans having a competitive symbiosis for f...

Immobilization is one of the most frequent strategies for enhancing the utilization of enzyme catalysts in various industrial applications. This technology is widely used in biotechnology to recover the reproducibility of catalysts and products and develop more durable and stable natural biocatalysts. Immobilization is influenced by the support mat...

Trichinellosis is a food-borne, zoonotic disease that causes infection by a nematode parasite belonging to the genus Trichinella. This is an important disease, and its caus-ative agent is prevalent throughout the world (cosmopolitan). More clinical awareness of trichinellosis is required due to its many outbreaks, increase in the consumption of por...

Bovine mastitis is an inflammatory response mainly caused by bacteria with substantial economic losses to the world dairy industry and brings issues like food safety for humans. The long-term presence of inflammation of mammary tissue causes chronic mastitis that leads to udder fibrosis. Udder fibrosis is a major problem for dairy cattle, which dro...

The advent of discernable abrasions alike to cutaneous leishmaniasis happened since the seventh century BCE on tablets from King Ashurbanipal (some of which might have started from significantly before texts from 1500 to 2500 BCE). In the 10th century CE, Persian physicians such as Avicenna described the balkh sore in detail (Cox 2002). Alexander R...

An optimal diet is an important factor for the proper growth and health of crustaceans. However, the regulation of antioxidant activity and non‐specific immunity related to the consumption of feed additives has not been studied in RC‐crayfish. Triplicate groups of 20 crayfish/tank (36.72 ± 0.70 g) fed with a basal diet and sixteen experimental diet...

Parasitic infections are a major public health concern affecting millions of people universally. This review elaborates on the potential impacts of plants and their bioactive components that have been widely used in the cure of several parasitic infections of poultry. The medicinal importance of natural herbs depends upon their bioactive ingredient...

This book presents the recent advances in engineering, science, and construction. The matters discussed and presented in the chapters of this book cover a wide spectrum of topics and research methods in the field of engineering, science, and technology. The book contains eight chapters: estimations of river flows by use of artificial intelligence m...

Coccidiosis is an important parasitic disease of poultry with great economic importance. Due to drug resistance issues, the study was conducted to investigate how probiotics (Lactobacillus plantarum or L. plantarum) affected oocysts per gram of feces (OPG), fecal scores, feed conversion ratio (FCR), immunomodulatory effect in terms of the cell-medi...

Parasitic diseases are major trouble in many parts of the world. We consider that if a chemical can break a DNA barcode sequence, it might be used to develop a species-specific anti-parasitic agent. To examine this hypothesis, we constructed sgRNAs that target both the control (5.8S rDNA) and a DNA barcode (ITS) sequence in Eimeria tenella. In vitr...

Coccidiosis is an infectious parasitic disease of poultry which causes heavy economic losses to commercial poultry industry. Coccidiosis has been generally controlled by using different synthetic anticoccidial drugs but, due to development of resistance to these drugs this method is losing its effectiveness. Exploration of novel and alternative com...

In the Animal Kingdom, arthropods are organisms with external skeletons, a segmented body, and jointed legs, such as lobsters, spiders, centipedes, and insects. The segments can be fused or grouped into body regions and the appendages can be exaggerated, modified or missing. It has been estimated that there are between one and ten million species o...

Sexual intercourse can be a major transmission process for major parasitic diseases, including Trichomoniasis, Amoebiasis, Giardiasis, and Scabies. The oral-genital and oral-anal exchanges predispose male homosexuals to infection with these pathogens. These parasites can cause acute and chronic disorders, including abdominal symptoms like watery di...

Milk is a vital source of nutrients that are required for the proper growth, development, and functioning of the human body. Its adulteration is a global issue, mainly concerned in developing countries. Unfortunately, mixing milk with many toxic agents leads to various health issues in the consumers.

Immune mapped protein-1 (IMP1) has been shown as a protective protein associated with Eimeria (E.) maxima and cellular fibronectin extra domain A (EDA), the ligand of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), has the potential to be used as molecular adjuvant of the vaccine. In the present study, we estimated the protective efficacy of a subunit vaccine compris...

Avian coccidiosis is an important parasitic disease of birds, caused by genus Eimeria, and having great economic importance. The estimated global economic loss due to coccidiosis is up to US$3 billion annually. Approximately 80% of these losses are associated with performance parameters, including decreased weight gain, heavy mortality, poor feed c...

Mycotoxins are filamentous fungi which can be seen microscopically and they impart adverse effects on poultry health. The occurrence of mycotoxins in poultry feed imparts adverse effects not only to the birds' health but also causes huge economic losses by affecting feed conversion ratio, production of meat and eggs,and also responsible for histopa...
