Animals, Vol. 14, Pages 3597: Multiple Typing Approach to Characterize Toxoplasma gondii Strains from Captive and Livestock Species in Northern Italy Suggests the Circulation of Type-II Variants Animals doi: 10.3390/ani14243597 Authors: Filippo Maria Dini Martha Ynés Salas-Fajardo Roberta Taddei Mattia Ramini Silvia Vianello Monica Caffara Roberta Galuppi Toxoplasma gondii is a widespread foodborne parasite that

Staphylococcus aureus is the most important human pathogen, in community and hospital-acquired infections. The colonization rate of this organism is high in medical personnel and devices. Considering the importance of carriers in the transmission of S. aureus infection, this study investigated the origin of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) isolated from Velayat and Poursina Hospitals of

A variety of intestinal parasites, including nematodes and cestodes, can be found in pigeons kept for entertainment or competition. Birds, as well as native wildlife and humans, are susceptible to infection by these worms. This study aims to assess pigeon helminth infections in Zabol County, Iran, and develop strategies for prevention and treatment. The gastrointestinal

The role of postprandial hyperglycemia (PPH) is implicated in the etiology of diabetes mellitus and its complications. This study investigated the effect of honey on high glucose-induced PPH in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes mellitus was induced by administering alloxan [150 mg/kg body weight (BW)] to overnight fasted rats. The diabetic rats were administered drinking water

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of two different proteins, β-amyloid and tau. The present study aimed to scrutinize the effects of bilateral administration of the cannabinoid receptor antagonist (AM251) in the hippocampus on spatial memory and tau gene expression in an Alzheimer’s disease model. β-amyloid toxin was injected bilaterally into

Due to the unique properties of Astragalus in the treatment of diseases and strengthening the immune system, for the first time, this study tried to study the in vitro and in vivo leishmanicidal effects of chloroform extract of A. ecbatanus (AECE) on Leishmania major. The in vitro activity was determined against promastigote and amastigote forms

The global health situation is caused by Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains because they are resistant to most antibiotics. The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance make the treatment of these infections more complicated. This study aimed to investigate mecA, blaZ, cna, and fnbA genes and the pattern of antibiotic resistance in S. aureus isolates

India has remarkably managed to successfully develop and approve two vaccines for Covid 19 which are Covaxin and Covishield. Vaccine hesitancy phenomenon is present even among healthcare professionals.acceptance of vaccination by healthcare or medical students is also of paramount importance. To find out the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy and associated factors in medical students of

Helicobacter pylori infection stands out as a primary cause of gastritis, with the alarming potential to progress into gastric cancer if left unaddressed. However, the efficacy of conventional treatments is undermined by the escalating challenge of antibiotic resistance and the necessity for complex multi-drug and high-dose therapeutic regimens. Complicating matters further, factors like biofilm formation,
