Gut Health Evaluation Using Gut Microbiome and Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Postweaning Diarrhoea. [PDF]
Postweaning diarrhoea (PWD) poses a significant threat to the swine industry by causing notable declines in productivity and mortality. Gut health diagnosis in pigs typically involves complex methods such as gut microbiome analysis, which can be costly and can require specialised skills.

Novel Chlamydiaceae Disease in Captive Salamanders
To the Editor: Although 2 major diseases of amphibians, chytridiomycosis and ranavirosis, have been relatively well studied, enigmatic amphibian disease and death not attributable to any of the known amphibian diseases frequently occur (1). We describe an apparently new disease in salamanders that is associated with a novel genus within the family ...

Balanced Expression of the Diiron Oxygenase BioE Is Essential for Biotin Homeostasis in Elizabethkingia meningoseptica. [PDF]
BioE is a new diiron oxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of long‐chain acyl groups into pimeloyl thioester, initiating biotin synthesis. The overexpression of EmBioE disrupts lipid metabolic homeostasis, requiring repressor BioL to maintain a balance between long‐chain fatty acids and biotin synthesis.

Chlamydial infection of livestock, companion animals, and other animals may result in conjunctivitis, enteritis, pneumonia, abortion, rhinitis or arthritis but there is also a high incidence of apparently asymptomatic infections.
