چکیده
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are emerging as multipurpose therapeutic compounds for the treatment of several different syndromes involving peripheral and central nervous systems, muscular musculoskeletal disorders both in human veterinary medicine. Therefore, study BoNTs is rapidly developing identifying newly produced BoNT variants. Efforts should be made to clarify biological pharmacological characteristics these novel well natural ones. The high potential a compound medical lies its ability reach specific cell type while bypassing other cells, thus having mild or no side effects. In this paper recent developments reviewed with aim analyzing current knowledge on BoNTs’ mechanisms action, immunogenicity, formulations, applications field, highlighting advantages drawbacks gaps filled order address research priorities.

متن کاملBotulinum Neurotoxins
Botulism is a neuroparalytic disease caused by neurotoxin produced from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) are among the most potent known biological toxins and have an estimated human median lethal dose (LD50) in the nanogram/kilogram range. Botulinum toxins have historically been employed as biological weapons (BW) through state-sponsored programs in Japan,...
متن کاملBotulinum Neurotoxins and Botulism: A Novel Therapeutic Approach
Specific treatment is not available for human botulism. Current remedial mainstay is the passive administration of polyclonal antibody to botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) derived from heterologous species (immunized animal or mouse hybridoma) together with supportive and symptomatic management. The antibody works extracellularly, probably by blocking the binding of receptor binding (R) domain to the...

Veterinary infrared thermography is a term indicating in vivo digitally imaging an animal with an infrared camera using computer interpretation of thermal maps. Various trials were performed with different species (horse, pig and cows)1,2,3,4,5 to assess the validity of thermographic instrument. Infrared thermographic systems are capable of seeing energy emitted by most objects at a temperature...
