Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

The effects of seasonality and group size on fecal egg counts in wild Przewalski’s horses (Equus ferus przewalskii, Poljakov, 1881) in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, Ukraine during 2014 – 2018

Helminthologia, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) with regard to group size, age, sex and body condition of wild free-roaming Przewalski’s horses in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone (Ukraine), across different seasons, over a ...

Metal nanostructure‐coupled label‐free localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for rapid and sensitive disease diagnosis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

Near‐infrared light‐activated aptamer‐based nanoprobe for spatiotemporally resolved detection of L‐lactate in colorectal cancer

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A near‐infrared (NIR) light‐activated “lock‐key” nanodevice is reported for spatiotemporally resolved detection of intratumoral L‐lactate. The system stays silent until deep‐penetrating NIR light remotely unlocks its function, allowing for precise sensing within tumors.

Beyond antimicrobials: Ecological nano‐strategies for rebalancing dysbiotic oral microbial homeostasis

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Oral microbial homeostasis, a dynamic host‐microbe balance, is vital in infectious diseases. Conventional antibiotics often disrupt this homeostasis, spurring interest in nanomaterials for oral microbial homeostasis rebalancing. This review outlines nanomaterial strategies across three ecological levels (population/community, ecosystem, and cross ...

Host-parasite relationship in gastrointestinal helminthiasis [PDF]

Survey of Immunologic Research, 1982
Gastrointestinal helminths are extremely numerous both in man and in animals where they cause severe impaired production. The deleterious effects of an infection is easily demonstrated with blood-sucking parasites: the daily loss of blood in sheep infected with Haemonchus contortus can exceed the equivalent of 100 ml (0.05 ml per worm per day) [11 ...
