In these distribution pathways, the vaccine has been transported and stored for a few days in each station. The present study was carried out to evaluate the humoral immune response of the anthrax vaccine and to measure the impact of existing transportation and storage systems on immunity status. For that a total of 60 cattle were randomly selected , divided into three groups and used the vaccines collected from three distribution points. Serum samples were collected before and after the 1st month, 4th month, 7th 10th, and 13th month of vaccination respectively the anthrax antibody level in blood were monitored. The optical density was converted to ELISA units (EU) and used to express the antibody level in the vaccinated animals. It was significantly increased above the protection level (1.00) for a year. Before vaccination, the average ELISA unit of serum sample was 0.18± 0.01, after vaccination it was raised above the protective level (1.00) within one month and continued up to a year. In the chi-square test (95% confidence level), there was no significant difference (p<.05) ELISA unit among the three groups that means no impact on vaccine distribution points on the immunity level of the studied animal. The Sterne 34F-2 strain Bacillus anthracis vaccine has been found to be efficacious to protect animals from anthrax in the rural areas and no significant impact on immune response due to existing transportation and storage facilities.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126209340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensitivity of colon bacterial strains to M. sylvestris leaf extract was tested by a broth dilution method in the anaerobic cabinet. Malva sylvestris leaf extract stimulated the growth of Bifidobacterium bifidum from beneficial species starting from 0.06 mg/mL dose (P<0.05). The same stimulatory effect was observed for other beneficial species Bifidobacterium infantis and Lactobacillus acidophilus from 0.125 mg/mL dose (P<0.05) and that effect was more obvious for B. infantis. On the other hand, the extract did not have any effect on Lactobacillus casei up to 4 mg/mL dose. Malva sylvestris leaf extract also had a potential inhibitory activity against pathogenic Escherichia coli , Clostridium perfringens , and Staphylococcus aureus from 0.25, 2, and 4 mg/mL concentrations respectively (P<0.05). The dose of 8 mg/mL of the extract (MIC; minimal inhibitory concentration) completely inhibited Fusobacterium nucleatum (P<0.05), other enteropathogen, which is associated with colorectal cancer. It was concluded that M. sylvestris leaf extract at 0.06-8 mg/mL dose could have favorable effects on colon bacteria since the extract selectively promoted the most of the beneficial species’ growth at this dose range while it had a potential inhibitory or inhibitory effect on pathogenic ones. Investigating the effects of M. sylvestris leaf extract on other colon bacteria and testing the in vivo effectiveness will contribute to a better understanding of its efficacy on colon microbiota and intestinal health.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130688918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present study; we investigated the relationship between complete blood count (CBC) and the presence of ovarian tumors in bitches. Seven bitches with ovarian tumors and 6 bitches with histologically healthy ovaries were selected for this study. Increased level of platelet (PLT) was determined in bitches with ovarian tumors and considered as a significant finding to estimate the cancer progression. Besides, red blood cells (RBC), hematocrit (HCT), and hemoglobin (HGB) levels were decreased in bitches with ovarian tumors, which might be associated with cancer related anemia.

Understanding the complex and highly dynamic interactions between fungi and host cells in a tissue-specific manner is crucial to facilitate the development of new therapeutic approaches to infections. Generally fungal pathogens rarely cause diseases in immunologically competent individuals. However, commensal and non-pathogenic environmental fungi can cause life-threatening infections in individuals with immune deficiency. Understanding the molecular and cellular bases of immunity to fungi has progressed significantly over the past few years. Despite close interactions with fungi today, how the immune system protects humans and animals from fungal pathogens has not been fully elucidated compared to the immune response to bacteria or viruses. The immune system is the host's defence against various foreign proteins and infections. Understanding the complex and highly dynamic interactions between fungi and host cells is crucial for the development of new therapeutic approaches to infections. Researchers from 15 countries in Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America have provided the last five years review and original research articles that consist of a wide range of fungal pathogens, disease, effector, regulatory cells and molecular pathways of host immune responses to fungal exposure. In this review, we summarize an outline of the recent findings, perspectives, and reviews about the complex and highly dynamic interactions between fungi and host cells and a contemporary understanding of protective immunity against fungi. This review will allow an overview of the most exciting recent advances in antifungal immunity, discoveries that will help pave the way for the development of new strategies that are seriously needed to combat these devastating diseases.","PeriodicalId":142259,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131377292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
