This study aimed to develop a noninvasive diagnostic model for CMT detection by integrating serum autoantibody biomarkers with machine learning. Serum samples from 154 dogs with mammary tumors (31 benign, 123 malignant) and 39 healthy controls were analyzed using a custom multiplex immunoassay detecting autoantibodies against AGR2, HAPLN1, IGFBP5, and TYMS, normalized to anti-BSA levels. Median fluorescence intensity (MFI), standardized autoantibody ratios, and their combination, together with clinical variables, were used to train random forest classifiers. The model based on standardized autoantibody ratios achieved the best performance, with an AUC of 0.79 (sensitivity 75.3%, specificity 74.4%) for overall CMT detection; 0.78 (92.7%, 61.5%) for malignant CMTs; and 0.77 (82.2%, 71.8%) for early-stagemalignancies. Assuming a CMT prevalence of 0.5 in the hospital-referred population, the positive and negative predictive values ranged from 0.74-0.75 and 0.75-0.91, respectively. This proof-of-concept study demonstrates that a machine learning-assisted multiplex autoantibody assay offers a feasible noninvasive approach for CMT detection. Further validation in larger, independent cohorts is warranted to support clinical translation in veterinary oncology.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"46 1","pages":"2617470"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12825649/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146013333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We assessed resistance to gastric and intestinal fluids, gut and uterus microbiota, and semen. L. monocytogenes was more resistant than L. ivanovii in gastric fluid, whilst L. seeligeri and L. valentina showed an intermediate phenotype. All the tested Listeria species resisted the intestinal fluid. Gut microbial communities outcompeted and eliminated L. ivanovii and L. valentina. However, L. monocytogenes and L. seeligeri outcompeted intestinal commensal bacteria. Our findings suggest that, unlike L. monocytogenes and L. seeligeri, the tested L. ivanovii are unlikely to colonize the gastrointestinal tract of ruminants, which would reduce replication, fecal shedding, and environmental distribution. However, the ability of L. ivanovii to survive within uterine microbiota and semen suggests that the tested clones could persist in the urogenital tract of ruminants. Then venereal transmission could be more probable than the oral route, which could explain why L. ivanovii is associated with abortion outbreaks and not encephalitic cases.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"46 1","pages":"2622742"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2026-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12865829/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146101148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study analyzed the structure, assembly, variations of the symbiotic microbiota of the endangered crocodile lizard, and their relationship with environment, as well as the effects of captivity on them, to explore why captive reptiles face high dermatosis rates. Results showed that the reptile's microbiota significantly differ from that of its habitat, demonstrating niche specificity. While species richness among organs showed no significant differences, microbial diversity varied considerably. Skin microbiota showed no site-specific clustering. The assembly of skin, oral, and intestinal bacterial communities was dominated by homogeneous selection. The gut and oral bacterial networks were resilient to disturbances, while the skin bacterial network was sensitive. Captivity primarily affected the skin microbiota, reducing its diversity and stability, thereby increasing disease risk, and these effects were not solely attributable to environmental changes. These findings suggested that skin microbial changes in captive reptiles may be responsible for their increased susceptibility to dermatosis in ex situ conservation. This study underscored the importance of understanding reptile-associated microbes for effective conservation strategies and offers potential solutions.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11816626/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Support Vector Machine and Ensemble classifiers were optimized via sequential feature selection. US radio-frequency signals were quantitatively analyzed to derive the colormaps of six US estimates, corresponding to spectral and temporal domains of the acoustic field. This resulted in the quantification of 72 morphological features for US; as well as 24 and 12 - for WL and FL data, respectively. Resulting classification efficiency for mastocytoma and sarcoma using US data was >75%; US+FL - 75-80%; US+WL - 85-90% and US+OPTICS - 90-95%. ∼100% classification efficiency was achieved for the differentiation between benign and malignant tumors even using single WL feature for Ensemble classifier. US features, resulting in inferior classification efficiency, were competitive to superior optical, as they were selected during optimization to be added to or replace optical counterparts. Additional tissue differentiation was performed on z-stacks of US colormaps, obtained using 3D arrays of US radio-frequency signals. This resulted in ∼70% differentiation efficiency for mastocytoma and sarcoma as well as >95% for benign and malignant tissues. The obtained additional metric of classification efficiency provides complementary diagnostic support, which for Support Vector Machine can be expressed as: 90.3 ± 1.9% (US+WL)×71.2 ± 0.6% (USDepth Profile).

This study aimed to provide a comprehensive view of metabolic changes in feline CKD across conserved biochemical pathways and evaluate their progression throughout the disease continuum. Using a multi-biomatrix high-throughput metabolomics approach, serum and urine samples from CKD-affected cats (n = 94) and healthy controls (n = 84) were analyzed with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry. Significant disruptions were detected in tryptophan (indole, kynurenine, serotonin), tyrosine, and carnitine metabolism, as well as in the urea cycle. Circulating gut-derived uremic toxins, including indoxyl-sulfate, p-cresyl-sulfate, and trimethylamine-N-oxide, were markedly increased, primarily due to impaired renal excretion. However, alternative mechanisms, such as enhanced bacterial formation from dietary precursors like tryptophan, tyrosine, carnitine, and betaine, could not be ruled out. Overall, the findings suggest that metabolic disturbances in feline CKD are largely driven by the accumulation of gut-derived uremic toxins derived from precursors highly abundant in the feline diet. These insights may link the strict carnivorous nature of felines to CKD pathophysiology and highlight potential avenues for studying preventive or therapeutic interventions.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"45 1","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11703532/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142916206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In South Korea, HPAIVs, including H5N1, H5N8, and H5N6 subtypes, have been repeatedly introduced since 2003. This review examines the epidemiology, genetic characteristics, and pathobiological features of these viruses in South Korea. Outbreaks typically occur between October and December, aligning with the arrival of wintering migratory birds. While outbreaks in poultry farms dominated before 2018, wild bird cases became more prevalent in subsequent years. Seasonal outbreaks in poultry have declined, but large-scale mortality events in wild birds emerged biennially from 2020. Genotypic diversity has increased since 2014 due to reassortment with low pathogenic viruses, with novel genomic traits detected in recent seasons. Infection studies show consistently fatal outcomes in chickens, while high mortality in domestic ducks was observed only with two of the studied strains, despite efficient transmission. Wild bird studies reveal species-specific roles in viral shedding and transmission. This review underscores the dynamic nature of HPAI outbreaks, highlighting the importance of surveillance, biosecurity, and genetic and pathogenicity analyses to mitigate future risks.","PeriodicalId":51207,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary Quarterly","volume":"45 1","pages":"23-38"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12064103/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144057144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, understanding about its pathogenesis and severity is limited, compounded by the lack of reliable TB biomarkers in cattle. This study delves into the comparative pathology and transcriptomic landscape of pulmonary granulomas in cattle naturally infected with M. orygis, using high-throughput RNA sequencing. Histopathological analysis revealed extensive, multistage granulomatous, necrotic, and cavitary lesions, indicative of severe lung pathology induced by M. orygis. Transcriptomic profiling highlighted numerous differentially expressed genes and dysregulated pathways related to immune response modulation and extracellular matrix remodelling. Additionally, cell type enrichment analysis provided insights into the multicellularity of the granulomatous niche, emphasising complex cell-cell interactions within TB granulomas.
