Background

Toxoplasma gondii, a ubiquitous parasitic protozoan, may be an important cause of neurological and psychiatric diseases. The present systematic review and meta-analysis, therefore, was conducted to investigate the scientific evidence regarding the potential association between T. gondii infection and psychiatric disorders in Iran.

Mutiso, Mercy Ngetich, Cecilia Mbae, Samuel Kariuki Non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) infections remain a significant public health challenge especially in sub-Saharan Africa. NTS disease is endemic in Kenya and is associated with sporadic fatal outbreaks in several regions of the country with poor resource setting.

by Mohammad Javad Taghipour, Hamid Ezzatpanah, Mohammad Ghahderijani Today, breast cancer and infectious diseases are very worrying that led to a widespread effort by researchers to discover natural remedies with no side effects to fight them. In the present study, we isolated camel milk protein fractions, casein and whey proteins, and hydrolyzed them using pepsin, trypsin, and both enzymes.

by Magdalena R. Raykova, Katie McGuire, William J. Peveler, Damion K. Corrigan, Fiona L. Henriquez, Andrew C. Ward Tetracycline antibiotics are used extensively in veterinary medicine, but the majority of the administrated dose is eliminated unmodified from the animal through various excretion routes including urine, faeces and milk. In dairy animals, limits on residues secreted in milk are strictly controlled by legislation.

by Jude Fonbah Leinyuy, Innocent Mbulli Ali, Karimo Ousenu, Christopher B. Tume  Background Antibiotic resistance has become an enduring threat to human health. This has prompted extensive research to identify the determinants responsible in a bid to fight the spread of resistance and also develop new antibiotics. However, routine procedures focus on identifying genetic determinants of resistance only on phenotypically resistant isolates.
