Expert opinion on the identification, risk assessment, and mitigation of microorganisms and parasites relevant to xenotransplantation products from pigs

Xenotransplantation, Volume 30, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Xenotransplantation has the potential to address shortages of organs available for clinical transplantation, but concerns exist regarding potential risks posed by porcine microorganisms and parasites (MP) to the health of human recipients. In this study, a risk‐based framework was developed, and expert opinion was elicited to evaluate porcine ...

Biliary Enterocytozoon bieneusi infection in a dog under immunomodulatory therapy

Journal of Small Animal Practice, Volume 64, Issue 8, Page 535-538, August 2023., 2023
An 8‐year‐old female spayed Labrador retriever was presented for the evaluation of severe weight loss 10 weeks after starting an immunomodulatory treatment, including prednisolone and cyclosporine, for meningoencephalitis of unknown origin. Plasma biochemistry analysis showed mild to moderate increases in liver enzyme activities and a moderate decrease

Assessment of genetic markers for multilocus sequence typing (MLST) of Fasciola isolates from Iran

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 9, Issue 2, Page 924-933, March 2023., 2023
MLST analysis was developed based on five genes (ND1, Pepck, Pold, Cyt b and HSP70) after genomic DNA extraction, amplification and sequencing. Thirty‐three Fasciola isolates (19 F. hepatica and 14 F. gigantica) were obtained from the infected livers (sheep n = 16, cattle n = 48 and goat n = 4) in Kermanshah Province, Iran.
