Molecular detection of pathogens in an equine fever diagnostic panel: 2019–2023
Abstract Background A common diagnostic approach for febrile horses is to test for a panel of potential pathogens. Panels are curated by expert opinion and vary between diagnostic laboratories. Objectives To report the results of a newly developed equine fever diagnostic panel (EFDP) between 2019 and 2023 and evaluate the frequency of positive results.

Seroprevalence of equine leptospirosis in Poland (2019–2023)
Abstract Background Leptospirosis in horses is associated with various clinical signs, potentially leading to fatal outcomes. Additionally, the disease may pose a zoonotic risk to individuals involved in handling infected animals. Implementing a serological monitoring programme in the equine population is one of the key tools used to reduce the risk of

Adverse impact of acute Toxoplasma gondii infection on human spermatozoa
Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites injected intraperitoneally crossed the blood‐testes barrier, appearing in testes/epididymis by day 6 post‐infection. In vitro exposure caused increased sperm necrosis/apoptosis and structural damage to heads/tails. Immunofluorescence and SEM revealed tachyzoites attaching to sperm tails, inducing twisting/detachment, and ...

Measurement of Plasmodium falciparum transmission intensity using serological cohort data from Indonesian schoolchildren. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: As malaria transmission intensity approaches zero, measuring it becomes progressively more difficult and inefficient because parasite-positive individuals are hard to detect. This situation may arise shortly before achieving local elimination,
