Occurrence and multidrug resistance of Salmonella spp. in food animals from selected districts of Bangladesh

Abstract Background Salmonella spp. are important zoonotic pathogens and a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide, with antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in livestock posing a growing public health concern. This study investigated the occur...

Economic loss assessment of lumpy skin disease outbreak in cattle of Bangladesh

Abstract Lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) poses a significant economic threat to the cattle sector in Bangladesh, with the first report dating back to 2019. This investigation assessed the financial implications of LSDV outbreaks across eight divisions, including both direct and i...

Evaluation of Probiotic Properties and Antimicrobial Substances Produced by Five Lactic Acid Bacteria Against Foodborne and Spoilage Pathogens

The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens presents a major challenge to food safety, particularly in preservation approaches. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) gain probiotic recognition by effectively controlling MDR pathogens using antimicrobial substances (AMSs) and bacteriocin...

Designing an mRNA vaccine encoding multi-epitopes to combat Pipistrellus bat coronavirus BtHKU5-CoV-2 based on consensus sequence using an immunoinformatics approach

The bat-derived Pipistrellus bat coronavirus BtHKU5-CoV-2, a merbecovirus lineage, is an emerging zoonotic risk due to its ability to utilize human ACE2 receptors and ongoing spike protein recombination events that enhance cross-species transmission potential. At the moment no au...

Epidemiology, risk factors, and spatio-temporal distribution of lumpy skin disease in cattle in northern Bangladesh

Objective: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an emerging transboundary viral disease that causes substantial economic losses in cattle production worldwide.Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, risk factors, and spatial-temporal distribution through molecu...

Beyond the Boardroom: How Diversity and Foreign Ownership Shape Corporate Innovation?
