Foodborne Risk to Human Health of Hepatitis E Virus in Pigs and Pigmeat in Ireland
Food Risk Assess Europe, Volume 4, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a major cause of acute viral hepatitis in people worldwide. In Ireland, evidence of past HEV exposure has been identified in approximately 5% of blood donors, while a small proportion have detectable viral RNA. HEV is also present in pigs and has been detected in pigmeat products, raising concerns about foodborne ...

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 12, Page e533-e542, 13–27 June 2026.Abstract Background Bovine tuberculosis (TB) threatens cattle farming in England. Supplementing tuberculin skin testing with the interferon‐gamma blood test during TB incident (breakdown) management can enhance diagnostic sensitivity. We aimed to identify herds at greater risk of recurrence depending on their recent TB history to inform targeted ...

Veterinary Record Open, Volume 13, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract Background Biosecurity practices mitigate disease risk on farms; however, adoption and consistent implementation remain variable across farmers. Improved communication of biosecurity information could increase uptake, reduce disease incidence and improve productivity, profitability and animal welfare. Methods This project developed a framework

Integrative Genomics Identifies Candidate Genes Underlying Trypanotolerance in Hybrid African Cattle
Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Integrative genomics combines data from different omics sources to link genotypes and phenotypes with the aim of unravelling biological networks and pathways that undergird complex traits, particularly with respect to disease. In this respect, integrative genomics, leveraging population and functional genomic data, can be employed to ...

BMC Research Notes, 2018 Objectives Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) causes Johne’s disease in ruminants. The “gold standard” of MAP detection is by culture, DNA sequencing possibly supplemented by identification of Ziehl–Neelsen positive mycobacteria.

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 2, April 2026.The suboptimal accuracy of current diagnostic tests necessitates alternative testing strategies to improve the detection of Johne's disease. We studied parallel and serial testing strategies to quantify the association between milk production and Johne's disease status. For this, two commercial Johne's disease Enzyme‐Linked Immunosorbent Assay, ELISAs,
