Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.Gastrointestinal parasites (GIPs) are determining factors in the health of Asian Elephants. The current coproscopic study recorded 95.2% prevalence rates with 19 different GIPs from these animals. The major risk factors could be overlapping niches with domestic and wild animals, irregular medication and the existence of critical stressors. .

Lip necrosis caused by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
JEADV Clinical Practice, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 1253-1257, September 2024.Abstract Labial necrosis is a rare condition with diverse causes, posing challenges for diagnosis and treatment. Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, particularly those positive for Panton‐Valentine leukocidin (PVL), further complicate management due to antibiotic resistance and heightened virulence.

Loxosceles Spider Venom Induces the Production of α and β Chemokines: Implications for the Pathogenesis of Dermonecrotic Arachnidism [PDF]
, 1999 Bites from the brown recluse spider and other Loxosceles arachnids result in dermonecrotic skin lesions. Neutrophils (PMN) are essential to the development of Loxosceles -induced skin lesions, but paradoxically, in vitro PMN activation is inhibited by ...

Genetically encoded libraries and spider venoms as emerging sources for crop protective peptides
Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 30, Issue 9, September 2024.This review examines the advantages and disadvantages of two strategies employing peptides for protecting crops from microbial and arthropod pathogens and pests. One approach utilizes genetically encoded peptide libraries (GEPLs) for de novo identification of novel antimicrobial peptides, while the other strategy relies on natural resources such as ...

Investigations into the digestive system proteases of Argiope aurantia (Araneae: Araneidae), hemolytic agents of spider venoms, and the role of both in necrotic arachnidism [PDF]
, 2003 Necrotic arachnidism, or tissue necrosis following spider bites is a widespread problem. Knowledge of the exact mechanism that produces such lesions is still incomplete. Here I have examined spider digestive fluid proteases and spider venom enzymes (e.g.,

Protein Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Broadly‐neutralizing monoclonal antibodies are becoming increasingly important tools for treating infectious diseases and animal envenomings. However, designing and developing broadly‐neutralizing antibodies can be cumbersome using traditional low‐throughput iterative protein engineering methods. Here, we present a new high‐throughput approach

Suspected Case of Loxoscelism (Spider-bite) in a Dog [PDF]
, 1985 Loxoscelism is a disease caused by envenomation by spiders belonging to the genus Loxosceles. Loxoscelism (also known as necrotic arachnidism or gangrenous spot ) has been mentioned as a disease in humans since the 1870\u27S,1 but the etiological ...

Necrotizing arachnidism: Diagnosing with inspection in insect bites
Gaziantep Medical Journal, 2014 Early diagnose and treatment in spider bites of Loxosceles species is extremely important in prevention of systemic and local complications. There is not any specific laboratory test or diagnostic clue except lesion's morphology and patient anamnesis.
