Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis (MAH) is an important zoonotic pathogen with raising global health concerns. In humans, MAH is one of the most widespread non-tuberculous mycobacterial species responsible for lung disease. In animals, MAH is frequently isolated from pigs; however, it is also an opportunistic pathogen for other mammals including cattle. To elucidate the genetic diversity o...

background and purpose: fascioliasis is one of the zoonotic diseases in the world that has public health and economic perspectives. the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of fascioliasis in slaughtered cattle in the industrial slaughterhouse of arak, iran (2007-2010). materials and methods: this study sample was consisted of 648994 head of cattle including 292797 sheep, 81012 c...

AIM The main objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of fascioliasis infections in cattle and buffaloes, slaughtered in El-Kharga city slaughterhouse at New Valley Governorate. MATERIALS AND METHODS The slaughtered animals were daily inspected for liver fascioliasis allover 2016. Macroscopic fascioliasis was detected from a total of 2251 basing on animals specie, sex, season...

burkitt's lymphoma is a lymphatic tumor classified as non-hodgkin lymphoma with small non cleaved cells. the disease has an incidence of two cases per million patients in north america, and usually present with an intra-abdominal tumor, or enlarged cervical lymph nodes. massive amounts of peritoneal and plural fluid is rarely seen in these patients. a three year-old girl presented with massive ...

background:  linguatulosis is a rare zoonotic parasitic infection, in which human plays the role of both defini­tive and intermediate host and can be occasionally infected. this study determines the status of infection in live­stock and its po­tential risk to men in the northwestern province of azarbaijan-e-sharghi, iran. methods: in a cross-sectional study from june 2007 to june 2008, 800 slau...

to study the prevalence of liver abscess in cattle slaughtered in shiraz, livers from 435 (242 male and 193 female) randomly selected cattle were examined. in the examined livers, number, location and size of the abscesses were recorded. gross lesions were found in 34 (8.28%) out of the examined livers; of which 28 liver (6.44%) had liver abscess (20 liver had abscesses and 8 liver had scarring...

Homeostatic proliferation of naive T cells in the spleen and cutaneous lymph nodes supplies memory-phenotype T cells. The "systemic" proliferative responses divide distinctly into fast or slow cell division rates. The fast proliferation is critical for generation of effector memory T cells. Because effector memory T cells are abundant in the lamina propria of the intestinal tissue, "gut-specifi...

The exploration of microbiomes in lymphatic organs is relevant for basic and applied research into explaining microbial translocation processes and understanding cross-contamination during slaughter. This study aimed to investigate whether metabolically active bacteria (MAB) could be detected within tonsils and mandibular lymph nodes (MLNs) of pigs. The hypervariable V1-V2 region of the bacteri...
