Genome-wide association studies for the identification of cattle susceptible and resilient to paratuberculosis

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne's disease or paratuberculosis (PTB), with important animal health and economic implications. There are no therapeutic strategies to control this disease, and vaccination with in...

Genetic Markers of Adaptation of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Plasmodium falciparum</named-content> to Transmission by American Vectors Identified in the Genomes of Parasites from Haiti and South America

ABSTRACT The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, was introduced into Hispaniola and other regions of the Americas through the slave trade spanning the 16th through the 19th centuries. During this period, more than 12 million Africans w...

Outdoor access practices in the Canadian dairy industry

ABSTRACT: Dairy cows are highly motivated to access pasture and have a partial preference for alternative forms of outdoor access (e.g., deep-bedded outdoor sand or wood-chip packs). In addition, Canadians value the provision of outdoor acc...

Mixed infection of Microsporum, Candida, and Malassezia spp. in a Persian cat: A unique case in Rohilkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, India.

Applied research note: Predicting carcass portion weights for purebred turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) lines using a 2D imaging system

Summary: Improving carcass portion yields (e.g., breast meat) is a major goal of modern turkey breeding and traditionally requires manual collection of portion weights. This can be a labor-intensive process considering the large amount of d...

Deep learning for diagnostic and clinical decision support in companion animals: a systematic review of CNN- and LSTM-based approaches.

Resting Posture Recognition Method for Suckling Piglets Based on Piglet Posture Recognition (PPR)–You Only Look Once

The resting postures of piglets are crucial indicators for assessing their health status and environmental comfort. This study proposes a resting posture recognition method for piglets during lactation based on the PPR-YOLO model, aiming to...

Distribution of Marbling Throughout the M. Longissimus Thoracis et Lumborum of Beef Carcasses Using an Instrument-Grading System

Beef Loin, Strip Loins (IMPS #180; n = 20) with marbling scores between Modest00 and Modest30 at the 12th and 13th rib interface of the M. longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LL) were collected. Each strip loin was fabricated into 6 samples t...

Veterinary drug residues in animal-derived foods: From analytical detection to intelligent and sustainable surveillance.

CViewer: a Java-based statistical framework for integration of shotgun metagenomics with other omics datasets

Abstract Background Shotgun metagenomics for microbial community survey recovers enormous amount of information for microbial genomes that include their abundances, taxonomic, and phylogenetic information, as well as their genomic makeup, t...

A web-based artificial intelligence system for label-free virus classification and detection of cytopathic effects

Abstract Identifying viral replication within cells demands labor-intensive isolation methods, requiring specialized personnel and additional confirmatory tests. To facilitate this process, we developed an AI-powered automated system called...
