Oestrosis is a type of nasal myiasis that is caused by larvae of flies from the Oestrus genus and is a disease of economic significance in small ruminants. The research aimed to investigate the prevalence of oestrosis and detect differences in the COX1 gene among haplotypes found in Sulaymaniyah, in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

Canine mammary gland cancer (CMGC) is the most common neoplastic condition in bitches and is often fatal. There are limited treatment options for CMGC. Primary cell cultures from mammary tumours are promising preclinical in vitro models in which to study personalised treatment approaches. This preliminary study aimed to establish primary cell cultures from two canine mammary gland neoplasms: a common solid adenocarcinoma and a rare carcinosarcoma.

Enzootic nasal adenocarcinoma (ENA) is a nasal cancer that occurs in goats and sheep infected by enzootic nasal tumour virus. Pathologic examinations are useful for distinguishing tumours from inflammatory hyperplasia. The aim of this study was to describe the pathological characteristics of ENA.

Sulphonamides are some of the most widely used antimicrobial drugs in the treatment of bacterial diseases in pigs. The study was conducted to compare the total exposure of tissue to a group of active substances in a single formulation and evaluate the impact of the volume of distribution, lipophilicity and tissue half-life of sulfadimethoxine, sulphathiazole, sulphamethazine and sulphacetamide in two different veterinary drug formulations – Polisulfalent, which was preparation A, and Polisulfamid, which was preparation B.

Citrobacter freundii strains, like other representatives of the same genus, are often described as aetiological factors of diseases in humans and animals, including farmed and ornamental fish. The aim of the study was the isolation and identification of C. freundii from ornamental fish in Poland and investigation of the virulence factors and antibiotic resistance among the isolates.

The hypothalamic neuropeptides kisspeptin-10 (KiSS-10), neurokinin B (NKB), and dynorphin A (Dyn A) play roles in the endocrine regulation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–ovarian (HPO) axis in puberty. Livestock’s timely attainment of sexual maturity increases reproductive efficiency and raises profitability. The pituitary relationship between these neuropeptides and gonadotropins in puberty in ewes being undercharacterised. The aim of the study was to analyse their direct effect on gonadotropin secretion by pituitary cells isolated from pubescent ewes.

Nematode-trapping fungi (NTFs) can produce various chitinases to degrade nematode body wall and eggshell chitin during predation. However, the regulatory mechanisms of their expression of chitinases still remain unclear. The primary objective of this study was to elucidate the differential protein profile of A. oligospora, an NTF, in response to chitin.

The vaccination against bacterial respiratory diseases in calves has been generally recognised as useful for the prevention of infections. Inducing an immunological response after vaccination is important for obtaining protection from infections. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of probiotics on the immunological response to vaccination against bacterial respiratory diseases in young Japanese Black calves.

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an amphipathic solvent for molecules in in vitro tests for detection of anthelmintic resistance of gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN). It has been shown to have a concentration-dependent detrimental effect on Caenorhabditis elegans, a free-living nematode. If GIN are likewise affected, using DMSO in egg-hatch test and larval development test (LDT) may confound their results. Therefore, the DMSO concentration was determined at which it exerted an inhibitory effect on GIN larval development to the third stage.

The aim of the study was to explore and characterise healthy foals’ eye microbiomes in the first two months of life.
