Reliable species information is required for correctly defining the regional epidemiology of enterococcal mastitis, establishing its relationships with management variables, and understanding its impact on udder health.

In response, animals activate a complex stress response that serves as a defense mechanism to restore balance and maintain physiological function. It impacts growth, reproductive performance, meat quality, animal welfare, and susceptibility to diseases. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are abundant conserved proteins activated in response to various physiological and environmental stresses, such as heat shock, oxidative stress, heavy metals, ultraviolet radiation, and membrane perturbation Acute phase proteins (APPs) are a recognized method to quantify stressors and serve as reliable biomarkers of animal well-being. Although primarily synthesized in the liver, APPs can also be found in non-hepatic tissues and the bloodstream, reflecting the physiological response to stress. HSPs play a crucial role in the stress response mechanisms of cells, particularly in camels, which adapt to harsh environmental conditions. They help cells adapt by triggering the heat shock response (HSR), increasing the expression of stress-related enhancing homeostasis, and improving stress resistance. Transport stress, particularly in veterinary medicine, can cause organ damage, poor feed conversion ratios, and weight loss in pigs. HSPs detect changes in cellular redox state during stress, prompting other HSPs to normalize misfolded proteins and mitigate cellular stress. Understanding HSPs alterations under stress benefits the animal breeding industry, as animals rapidly synthesize HSPs as a self-protective mechanism. Serum amyloid A (SAA) is another major APP in vertebrates, with increased levels found following inflammation and non-inflammatory conditions.

Given its high prevalence and associated socioeconomic impacts, there is an urgent need to conduct in-depth research on this problem and formulate prevention and control intervention strategies. Here, we conducted a molecular genetic analysis of 1299 samples (including canid feces and livestock hydatid cysts) from the QTP based on the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene. Our results revealed the infection rate of echinococcosis had some regional differences and identified 24 distinct haplotypes that clustered into five Echinococcus species. Encouragingly, the first isolation and identification of Echinococcus equinus in Ovis aries laid the foundation for the cross-species transmission of Echinococcus. Phylogenetic analyses (ML/BI) consistently supported highly clustering of each haplotype with its reference sequence (bootstrap ≥ 80%, PP ≥ 0.80). Furthermore, molecular clock estimates indicated that the co-evolution of Echinococcus spp. and its host may be closely related to the rapid uplift and climate changes of the QTP since the Cenozoic era. This study provided the latest dataset on Echinococcus infections in natural hosts across the QTP, systematically revealing the epidemic characteristics, genotype distribution and genetic diversity of Echinococcus spp. in this region.</p>","PeriodicalId":23690,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Research Communications","volume":"49 5","pages":"252"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144601675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
