In recent years, with the increase of animal husbandry, animal brucellosis has become a remarkable health issue in China. To prevent and control the spread of brucellosis, <i>Brucella suis</i> live strain S2 vaccine has been licensed as a multivalent vaccine against the three major zoonotic <i>Brucella</i> species, for example, <i>Brucella melitensis</i> (small ruminants), <i>Brucella abortus</i> (bovids), and <i>B. suis</i> (swine). Following this process, the country enforced control measures based upon <i>B. suis</i> S2 vaccination, which reduced the disease burden in 2022 to 0.66% in the livestock population. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss the biological properties of the S2 vaccine and its wide use in vaccination programs of China, highlighting oral vaccination advantages, validation, and standardization of this vaccine as well as the progress of the S2 vaccination program achieved in the national control of the three zoonotic <i>Brucella</i> species.</p>","PeriodicalId":100086,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research and One Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"115-126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aro2.6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50119132","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, effective therapeutics available for brucellosis are in urgent demand. Brucellosis is transmitted to humans through diet or contact with infected animals. Several live-attenuated vaccine strains are commercially available for animals, such as <i>Brucella melitensis</i> Rev.1, <i>Brucella abortus</i> S19, and RB51. However, no secure and effective vaccine for human beings has been developed yet against brucellosis, for which antibiotic therapy is the most frequently used and valid. Nevertheless, excessive antibiotics could prohibit the sensitivity of <i>Brucella</i> and develop resistance in humans. In addition, other clinical treatments, such as surgical treatment, have little effect on brucellosis. Therefore, novel treatment protocols should be explored. Based on numerous experimental studies, it is speculated that brucellosis can be fundamentally treated by inhibiting the activation of the type IV secretion system and changing the acidic environment of eBCV. In addition, previous literature showed that traditional Chinese medicine therapy also had certain efficacy, providing a new perspective angle for the exploration of treatment options.</p>","PeriodicalId":100086,"journal":{"name":"Animal Research and One Health","volume":"1 1","pages":"127-136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/aro2.5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50119131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Probiotics and postbiotics have been widely developed as additives due to their beneficial effects in balancing host gut microbiota, enhancing intestinal epithelial barrier, regulating immunity, and whole-body metabolism. Probiotics and postbiotics are composed of complex ingredients, with different components and compositions having different effects, requiring classification for discussing their mechanisms of action. Probiotics and postbiotics have considerable prospects in preventing various diseases in the livestock industry and animal feed and medical applications.
