Abstract:
... Sulfate radicals have been increasingly used for the pathogen inactivation due to their strong redox ability and high selectivity for electron-rich species in the last decade. The application of sulfate radicals in water disinfection has become a very promising technology. However, there is currently a lack of reviews of sulfate radicals inactivated pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, les ...

Abstract:
... The survival of Escherichia coli O157:H7 strain (NCTC 12900) was assessed in raw donkey milk, in mild pasteurised donkey milk (50 °C for 30 min), in donkey milk processed by HP at 400 MPa at 3 °C for 60 s, and in donkey milk treated with a combination of the two technologies. The results showed that E. coli O157:H7 was able to survive in raw donkey milk for 15 days and in mild pasteurised donkey m ...

Abstract:
... An effective tool for early-stage selective detection of the foodborne bacterial pathogen Shigella flexneri (S. flexneri) is essential for diagnosing infectious diseases and controlling outbreaks. Here, a label-free electrochemical DNA biosensor for monitoring S. flexneri is developed. To fabricate the biosensor, detection probe (capture probe) is immobilized on the surface of poly melamine (P-Mel ...
... Forecasting systems are widely used to predict the application of fungicides for managing late blight. However, airborne inoculum has rarely been included in these forecasting systems. Monitoring the sporangia in crop environments may offer an opportunity to improve late blight forecast systems by integrating pathogen pressure. Hence, this experiment aiming to analyze relationships between weather ...
... Invertebrates' immune priming or innate immune memory is an analogous response to the vertebrates' adaptive memory. We investigated if honey bees have immune memory. We compared survival and immune response between bees that were: 1) manipulated (Naïve), 2) challenged twice with the same pathogen Escherichia coli (Memory), 3) challenged twice with different pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus versus ...

Abstract:
... White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) is an important pathogen in shrimp farming and causes serious economic losses in the shrimp industry. Early detection of WSSV is particularly important in the prevention and treatment of the disease. However, the current routine technology lacks the convenience, ultra-sensitivity and speed that have limited the development of on-site detection application of WSSV. ...

Abstract:
... Monostichella coryli is the causal agent of the hazelnut anthracnose. The increase in the incidence in hazelnut orchards observed during recent years in Central Italy is increasing the need for information and studies on its biology and ecology, and how environmental factors (e.g., temperature) influence its development. For this purpose, seven isolates from different provenances of M. coryli were ...
... The objective of the present study was to compare the growth of food-pathogens Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica, food spoilage Bacillus subtilis, an industrial milk product isolate, and spore-forming Paenibacillus in commercially available ultrahigh temperature processed (UHT) bovine milk and non-dairy, plant-based beverages (coconut, almond, cashew) stored at chilled and ambient temper ...
... Cyprinid herpesvirus 2 (CyHV-2) is a highly contagious pathogen that causes herpesviral haematopoietic necrosis (HVHN) disease to goldfish, Carassius auratus and gibel carp, C. auratus gibelio. In this study, the virus persistence or latency in apparently healthy farmed gibel carp and reactivation in vitro were investigated. All of the freshly dissected kidney tissues of 42 individuals of asymptom ...

Abstract:
... Rose is an important ornamental plant and a commercial source of natural fragrances and essential oils. However, gray mold is the most serious disease of rose during cultivation and post-harvest. In plants, the bZIP gene family is one of the important families of transcription factors that regulate many biological processes, including pathogen defense, light response, and stress signaling. Althoug ...

Abstract:
... The C–C chemokine receptors (CCRs) family is involved in diverse pathophysiological processes in mammals, such as immune regulation and cancer, but their functions in invertebrates remain enigmatic. Here, two CCR homologs in Penaeus vannamei (designated PvCCR1 and PvCCR5) were characterized and found to share sequence homology with other CCRs and contain the conserved 7TM functional domain. Both P ...

Abstract:
... We cultured post-larval shrimp in four salinity treatment groups (SAL20 (control) = 20 ppt (parts per thousand), SAL10 = 10 ppt, SAL30 = 30 ppt, and SAL40 = 40 ppt) for 20 days (restriction stage) and then transferred them to the control salinity environment (20 ppt) for 20 days (compensation stage). The SAL40 group exhibited an over-compensation growth effect in body length and weight, and the SA ...
... Once harvested, papaya fruit is prone to rapid deterioration and spoilage by microorganisms leading to food loss. The current study aimed to evaluate the effect of kojic acid (KA) treatments (2 mM and 5 mM) on the resistance of postharvest papaya against Colletotrichum brevisporum, a hazardous fungal pathogen. The results indicated that KA treatment decreased the lesion length in papayas by 30% af ...

Abstract:
... Streptococcus mutans a key pathogen, produces biofilm, acids and extracellular polysaccharides in the oral cavity; which leads to the development of dental caries. Control of these pathogenic markers can prevent dental caries. Uvaria chamae P. Beauv. is a medicinal plant traditionally used for many ailments including oral infections. Root, leaves and bark extracts has proven antibacterial activity ...
... Pseudomonas plecoglossicida is an important pathogenic bacterial species in aquaculture, causing visceral granulomas in large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) and several other economically important fish species. The GacS/GacA is a two-component regulatory system (TCS) primarily found in Pseudomonads for its role in virulence, quorum sensing, and biofilm formation. To investigate the potentia ...
... Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major seafood-borne zoonotic pathogen causing gastroenteritis in humans. Although antibiotics are the most effective chemical agents for V. parahaemolyticus, their abuse has caused the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains, affecting seafood safety. Here, we have isolated and characterized the V. parahaemolyticus bacteriophage VPG01 as an eco-friendly sustainable al ...
... The economically important seaweed Porphyra are often infected by various diseases during sea farming. As one of the most important phytohormones in disease resistance, the protective effect of salicylic acid (SA) on Neoporphyra haitanensis during Vibrio mediterranei 117-T6 infection was investigated by biochemical methods and transcriptomic profile analysis. The addition of exogenous SA at a mode ...
... This work aims to investigate antifungal, mycotoxin inhibitory efficacy of the hop essential oil (HEO) nanoemulsion and their mode of action (MOA) against Fusarium graminearum isolate, a fungal pathogen causing Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The HEO, primarily consisting of terpenes and terpenoids, was encapsulated in nanoemulsion droplets. Physically stable HEO-in-water nanoemulsion ...
... The binding of flagellin to receptor TLR5 (Toll-like receptor 5) on the cell surface is a prerequisite for the pathogen infection to the body, which has important implication for disease prevention. Unlike mammals, teleost TLR5 exists in two different forms: membrane-bound TLR5M (membrane TLR5, TLR5M) and secreted TLR5S (soluble TLR5, TLR5S). In this study, TLR5M and TLR5S from Nile tilapia (Oreoc ...
