Scientists have developed and tested three vaccine candidates to protect pigs against Nipah virus - a deadly zoonotic disease with high fatality rates.
In summary, the integration of AI and nursing is an inevitable trend. The only way to unleash the potential of AI and promote the nursing industry to realize high-quality development in the technological wave is to strengthen the humanistic roots, make up for the shortcomings of skills, and improve the ethical framework.
In this paper, the authors address that the quality of water affects the health of animals and humans directly due to chemical and microbial pollutants. They advocate an integrated One-Water/One-Health framework to study sources, transport, and impacts of emerging contaminants and pathogens from wastewater. The paper focuses on three key topics: 1) Environmental Virology (using viruses as fecal pollution indicators), 2) Emerging Contaminants (human-altered chemical signatures), and 3) The Wastewater-Water Amalgam (assessing global fecal pollution impacts using new tools). They stress the urgent need to identify at-risk ecosystems and populations by integrating monitoring data, global mapping, and source diagnostics into watershed programs prioritizing viruses, microbial tracking, and emerging contaminants.
A recent study demonstrates that the IBDV VP2 subunit vaccine prepared in this study was able to induce the production of specific antibodies, inhibit bursal atrophy and resist viral attack. The vaccine offers a safer alternative to traditional live-attenuated vaccines, with potential applications in global poultry disease control.
