Summary: The study showed that cineole can induce deep anesthesia in Caspian trout within 5.63-1.83 minutes at concentrations of 300-1000 μL/L. Deep sedation with 200 μL/L cineole is the ideal anesthesia protocol for Caspian trout, as it caused fewer physiological changes in the fish plasma.

Summary: This study evaluated the effect of transport stress on the hematological and biochemical responses in male and female bullfrogs. The results showed that frogs can rapidly recover homeostasis within 24 hours after transport, but a decrease in energy reserves and red blood series is observed between 24 and 48 hours after transport.

Summary: As the price of fishmeal rises, finding new protein sources to reduce fishmeal inclusion in aquafeeds is urgent. In this study, the effects of replacing fishmeal with a mixture of cottonseed protein concentrate (CPC) and Clostridium autoethanogenum protein (CAP) were evaluated. The results showed that the CPC and CAP mixture could replace 50% of dietary fishmeal without negative effects on rainbow trout.

Summary: The development of COVID-19 vaccines has been regulated to ensure an effective approach. Numerous vaccines have reached different stages of testing, and platforms such as nucleic acid vaccines show promise in terms of availability and safety. Approved vaccines come from various countries, and distribution is a key challenge. Additionally, research has found a potential link between the Bacillus Calmette-Gue ' rin (BCG) vaccination program and lower disease severity.

Summary: Brucellosis is common in Middle Eastern and North African countries, affecting both humans and animals. The majority of cases are caused by Brucella melitensis and Brucella abortus, and although some antibiotic resistance has been reported, most strains are still susceptible to recommended treatment regimens.

Summary: Camel brucellosis caused by Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis is a widespread and critical zoonotic infection that negatively impacts dairy and meat products. This meta-analysis investigated the global prevalence of Brucella spp. in camels and identified various risk factors. The overall prevalence of camel brucellosis was found to be 9.23%, with significant variations between different regions and factors such as sex, herd size, age, and mixed rearing. The study highlights the importance of control and surveillance measures in preventing the spread of brucellosis among camel herds.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between miRNA196a-2 gene polymorphism and Mycoplasma hominis infection in human abortion. The results showed a significant increase in the proportion of M. hominis infection in women with abortion compared to those without abortion. There was a significant difference in the frequency of miRNA196a-2 genotypes between women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and those with one abortion, indicating a possible association between miRNA196a-2 genotypes and RPL.

Summary: This study investigated antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence-associated factors in Brucella isolates from humans and animals in Iran. B. melitensis was the most common species, while B. abortus was isolated from only one human case. The isolates showed intermediate or resistant phenotype patterns for certain antibiotics. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) identified several virulence-associated genes, but failed to determine classical AMR genes. The findings suggest a need for further investigation into the proteomic and transcriptomic levels of phenotypic resistance mechanisms.

Summary: Klebsiella pneumoniae is a global opportunistic bacterium with high prevalence and antimicrobial resistance. A study was conducted on 104 K. pneumoniae isolates to determine their biofilm-forming capability, susceptibility to antibiotics, and presence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) genes. The highest resistance rate was observed against ampicillin (100.0%). Among the isolates, 50.0% were multi-drug resistant (MDR), 29.8% were extensively drug resistant (XDR), and 40.4% were ESBL producers. Biofilm-forming isolates showed significantly higher antimicrobial resistance compared to non-biofilm formers (P < 0.05).

Summary: The aim of this study was to identify and compare the seroprevalence of brucellosis among dairy cattle farms using different serological tests. Results showed that I-ELISA had higher specificity and sensitivity compared to RBPT and SAT, and could significantly decrease non-specific reaction, making it a more accurate diagnostic tool for brucellosis in endemic areas.

Summary: A cross-sectional study in industrial dairy cattle farms in Iran revealed the presence of Brucella spp., including Brucella abortus and Brucella melitensis, in the Alborz and Tehran provinces. The seroprevalence of brucellosis in these farms was significant, and the shedding of Brucella in the milk of seropositive cows posed a serious risk of transmission to humans. Therefore, comprehensive bacteriological and serological tests, including analysis of blood and milk samples, should be conducted in order to control the spread of the disease.
