...ntially harmful cause of gastrointestinal disorders associated with consumption of foods with animal origin. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the presence of E. coli O157:H7 in food outlets in some touristic cities in Egypt. For this purpose, 648 samples including raw chicken meat, cooked chicken meat, raw beef meat, cooked beef meat, food handlers and equipment swabs were collected from 54 food outlets in some touristic cities in Egypt. E. col...

...;">The microbiota in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of ruminants is very important for their immunity and productivity. The efficient digestion and utilization of fibrous feed materials are attributed to the foregut, midgut, and hindgut with the aid of the microorganisms that thrive in this region. However, knowledge and studies on bacterial communities across the GIT are very limited. Most researches only focus on the rumen or the hindgut. Therefore, this s...

...;">In avian ecology, the gastrointestinal microbiome is pivotal in influencing host health, contributing to metabolic processes, and shaping ecological interactions. The escalating global significance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes within diverse microbiota components has garnered increasing attention due to its profound consequences. Recent investigations have revealed the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria among wild bird species in remote ha...

...ce and average number of gastrointestinal parasites per chicken (worm burden) in Thai indigenous chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus). A total of, 229 chickens (113 males and 116 females) were investigated in 3 selected districts in central Thailand. Chickens were raised under extensive backyard conditions and then slaughtered at ages 12, 14, 16 and 18 weeks. Standard parasitological procedures were used to determine the worm burden in the

A total of 32 nematodes were collected from 09 hosts out of 22 hosts examined. These specimens were identified as the members of genus Gongylonema Molin, 1857 (Spirurida: Spiruroidea: Gongylonematidae) based on presence of various cuticular bosses on anterior portion of the speciemens, a gubernaculum, unequal and dissimilar spicules.

...h some strains also show gastrointestinal tropism. The ideal mechanism of transmission among birds varies by host species and virus strain. The respiratory and contact transmission are likely the primary routes of transmission and may partly arise initially as an adaptation to poultry which clearly has implication for zoonotic transmission. Inactivated vaccines are the most common vaccines used to control H9N2 viruses, however they have a wide antigenic variab...
