A prototype of an air cleaner was investigated for its ability to inactivate airborne MS2 viruses via UV-C irradiation. AGI-30 impingers were used to measure virus concentrations and RNA copy numbers at the air cleaner’s inlet and outlet, which was integrated into a testing system. UV-C doses were estimated…

Liquid egg products are typically exposed to a defined thermal load to achieve the required safety level, under which their functional properties can be adversely affected. In this study, manothermosonication (MTS) (132 μm, 300 kPa) was investigated as alternative preservation for liquid whole egg (LWE)…

Environmental stressors such as micro- and nanosized plastic particles (MNPs) or crude oil have a detrimental effect on aquatic animals; however, the impact upon the cardiovascular system of fish remains relatively under-researched. This study presents a novel approach for investigating the effect of…

The rise of the global population and improving living standards have increased food demand, imposing significant pressure on agricultural systems. As a result, substantial quantities of organic by-products rich in lignocellulose, termed organic agricultural biomass (OAB), are produced. These materials,…

The ethical use of laboratory animals requires that the benefits of an experimental study are carefully weighed against potential harm to the animals. In traumatic brain injury (TBI) research, ethical concerns are especially relevant to severe TBI, after which animals may experience suffering, depending…

Background: In dogs with idiopathic epilepsy (IE), 33% develop resistance to conventional anti-seizure medication (ASM) despite adequate treatment. In human medicine, an immune-mediated etiology is suspected in a subset of ASM-resistant patients with epilepsy and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-specific immunoglobulin…

The Brighton Collaboration Benefit-Risk Assessment of VAccines by TechnolOgy (BRAVATO) was formed to evaluate the safety and other key features of new platform technology vaccines. This manuscript provides an overview of Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA)-vectored vaccines and reviews molecular and…

The skills necessary to perform diagnostic perineural anesthesia in equids belongs to one of the Day One Competences of a veterinarian, so every veterinary graduate should be able to perform them correctly. For logistical, hygienic and ethical reasons, practical exercises on cadaver limbs are not accessible…

Der gesamte Gastrointestinaltrakt wird vom vegetativen Nervensystem innerviert, bestehend aus dem sympathischen, parasympathischen und dem enterischen Nervensystem (ENS). Das ENS, auch als „Bauchhirn“ bekannt, reguliert lokal die Darmfunktionen und besteht aus sensorischen Neuronen, Interneuronen und…

Background The standard diagnosis of Ascaris lumbricoides and other soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections relies on the detection of worm eggs by copromicroscopy. However, this method is dependent on worm patency and shows only limited accuracy in low-intensity infection settings. We aimed to decipher…
