PSE5 at 0.01 MOI was administered to
Enteritidis seeded on the surface of the chicken egg by immersion method. The results indicated that administration of phage reduced recoverable
by 2 × 10
CFU/ml relative to the phage-excluded control.
The results presented here suggested the application of the bacteriophage treatment has the potential to be used as an alternative strategy to prevent
infection in poultry farms to prevent vertical transmission of the pathogen.

Mastitis in sheep caused by
spp. see more is a serious concern for dairy farming.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of the intramammary infection (IMI) caused by
spp. on the lon g-chain fatty acid profile and composition of ewe's milk.
The experiment was conducted in a herd of Zoslachtena Valaska sheep. Half-udder milk samples were collected from 20 weight-matched sheep at the peak of their first or second lactation. The basic physicochemical composition of milk, somatic cell count (SCC),
spp. infection, and total bacterial contamination (TBC) were determined. The fatty acid profile of the milk fat was determined using gas chromatography.
The SCC in milk infected with
spp. was 3.25 times higher (P<0.01) than that in the uninfected milk samples. The content of lauric acid (С120) was higher (P<0.05) in the milk fat of infected ewes. A significant increase (P<0.05) in the share of linoleic acid (C182n6t), arachidonic acid (C204n6), and a decrease (P<0.01) in the vaccenic acid (C181n7t) were observed in the milk collected from ewes infected with
spp..
spp. infection increased the ratio of n-6 to n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Changes in the fatty acid profile of milk caused by
spp. infection decrease the value of ewes' milk as a health-promoting product.

Limited information existed on performance tests in Iranian Arab horses.
The objective of this study is to investigate time related changes of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and oxidative/antioxidant biomarkers in the serum of Arabian horses before and after regular training.
Blood samples were collected from jugular vein of 25 Arabian horses before exercise; 5 h and 18 h after exercise and used to measure the cTnI, ANP, malondialdehyde (MDA), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) concentrations. Data analysis was performed using SAS.
Significant time related changes were seen for cTnI, MDA, and GPX concentrations (P<0.05). There were no time significant variations in the concentrations of ANP, FRAP and SOD. The values of cTnI and MDA significantly increased after exercise. The amounts of GPX significantly increased 5 h after exercise and then decreased up to 18 h after exercise.
The results of the present study can be used in future studies in evaluating the health status of Arabian horses. In addition, the present results can be used as primarily described data in the evaluation of Arabian horses.

is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions, causing pseudomalaria in pigeons.
The current study aimed to characterize the phylogenetic position of
in pigeons in Sharkia province, Egypt, based on partial sequencing of the
gene as the conserved regions. The "DNA barcode" of the
gene helps in designing primers that can be used to amplify the same gene in the related haemosporidians.
One hundered blood samples were collected from domestic pigeons to identify
by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and detect its relationship with other related haemosporidians.
Weight losses of 60%, anemia 40%, low growth rates 26.67%, diarrhea 76.67%, dyspnea 66.67%, some neurological symptoms 33.33%, and death 16.67% were observed in the studied birds. Post-mortem examinations showed chocolate-brown appearance of the livers of the birds and congested parenchymatous organs. Microscopical examinations of Giemsa stained blood smears (n=100) revealed a 30% infection rate. The obtained infection percentages were more pronounced in males (35.71%) than females (16.66%) and more in adults (57.14%) than young pigeons (15.38%). The present sequence of
was deposited in GenBank under accession No. MH345964 and shows 100% identity with other related
species in the Sao Paulo Zoo, Brazil (KU131585 and KU131583) and the UK (KX832581 and KX832586).
This study concluded that the accurate diagnosis of
infection in pigeons by specific primers will help with the early treatment of affected cases, especially in the presence of the immature forms, and can thus avoid the noticed clinical signs and the induced pathological lesions mentioned in our study.

Fowl adenoviruses (FAdVs) are distributed widely throughout the world, and domestic avian species of all ages are susceptible. Fowl aviadenoviruses (FAdVs) can be separated into 5 different species (A-E) with various genotypes and 12 serotypes. Some geno- or serotypes induce hepatitis-hydropericardium syndrome (HPS), inclusion body hepatitis (IBH), and adenoviral gizzard erosion (AGE).
Detect FAdVs serologically and molecularly and sequencing of FAdVs in broiler flocks in Golestan province.
From December 2017 to June 2018 liver tissues and blood samples were collected from 31 broiler flocks suspected of IBH. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was applied on liver samples and the positive samples were sequenced and antibody against FAdVs was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Out of 31 flocks, the titers of 29 flocks (93.5%) were high in ELISA test for FAdVs and 22 flocks (70.96%) were positive in PCR test. Sequence analysis indicated the isolates belonged to D and E genotype of adenovirus.
