Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

RNA sequence variant study in severe equine asthma

, 2023
Severe equine asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung in horses33 similar to low-Th2 late-onset asthma in humans. This study aimed to determine the utility of34 RNA-Seq to call gene sequence variants, and to identify sequence variants or potential relevance35 to the pathogenesis of asthma.

Investigating the Therapeutic Potential of Tamarix aphylla Leaf Extract Against Toxicity Caused by Graphene Nanosheets in Cirrhinus mrigala

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Tamarix aphylla leaf extract significantly alleviated graphene nanosheet–induced toxicity in Cirrhinus mrigala, reducing oxidative tissue damage and restoring organ integrity. Rich in antioxidant compounds, the extract offers a promising natural strategy for mitigating the biological impacts of graphene‐related pollutants.

Variant analysis of RNA sequences in severe equine asthma

, 2017
Background. Severe equine asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lung in horses similar to low-Th2 late-onset asthma in humans. The disease in horses has complex inheritance including both dominant and recessive patterns that are ill defined. This study aimed to determine the utility of RNA-Seq to call gene

Tracheal collapse rates in Kenyan working cart and pack donkeys

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 805-813, May 2026.
Abstract Background Donkeys (Equus asinus) in East Africa are recognised as working with poorly designed harnesses and carts. The donkey cart used in regions of Africa, specifically Meru County, Kenya, appears to place the cart's weight solely on the donkey's mid‐cervical region.

Chronic hepatitis in horses with persistent equine hepacivirus infection

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 444-457, March 2026.
Abstract Background Equine hepacivirus (EqHV) is closely related to hepatitis C virus (HCV), which causes persistent infection and chronic hepatitis in people. Information on persistent EqHV infection and hepatitis is limited. Objectives To report 19 cases of chronic hepatitis and persistent EqHV infection.
