Contribution of Molecular Biology to the Control of Animal Diseases
نویسنده
چکیده
Molecular biology has contributed in a wide and profound way to our current knowledge of the structure of pathogens, how they replicate in a host animal and how they may cause disease. This molecular knowledge has been harnessed in practical ways to improve the sensitivity, specificity and safety of methods to identify infected animals and characterise the causative infectious agents. It has also been used to devise novel vaccines and, in epidemiological studies on disease outbreaks, to improve surveillance and control strategies.

Fiber gene based molecular and biological characterization of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome associated avian adenoviruses
This study was designed to perform biological and molecular characterization of avian adenoviruses (AAVs) recovered from suspected cases of hydropericardium-hepatitis syndrome (HHS) in commercial poultry. Initially the samples were screened by Agar Gel Precipitation Test (AGPT) for the presence of AAVs followed by its confirmation and typing through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) focusing on a...

Background & Aims: Many studies have demonstrated that Vitamin D has an important role in cell growth and proliferation and vitamin D receptor polymorphism has significant relationship with colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of VDR rs 2238136 polymorphism in Iranian population and to investigate the relationship between this single nucleotide polymorphism...
متن کاملRNA Extraction from Animal and Human\'s Cancerous Tissues: Does Tissue Matter?
The reliability of gene expression profiling based technologies and methods to find transcriptional differences representative for the original samples is influenced by the quality of the extracted RNA. Hence, RNA extraction is the first step to investigate the gene expression and its function. Consequently, the quality of extracted RNA is really significant. Correspondingly, this research was ...
متن کاملA review of Brucellosis in Iran: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Diagnosis, Control, and Prevention
Brucellosis caused by species of Brucella is among the most prevalent zoonoses with the annual incidence of half a million cases globally. Most parts of Iran are endemic for brucellosis, and the annual incidence of the human and animal brucellosis is still high. At present, there is no safe and protective human vaccine against brucellosis, and the only preventive strategy is animal vaccination,...
متن کاملEstablishing a new animal model for muscle regeneration studies
Skeletal muscle injuries are one of the most common problems in the worldwide which impose a substantial financial burden to the health care system. Accordingly, it widely accepted that muscle regeneration is a promising approach that can be used to treat muscle injury patients. However, the underlying mechanisms of muscle regeneration have yet to be elucidated. The muscle structure and muscle...
متن کاملMolecular phylogeny of Myxobolus orissae (Myxosporea: Myxobolidae) infecting the gill lamellae of mrigal carp Cirrhinus mrigala (Actinopterygii: Cyprinidae)
Myxosporeans are best known for the diseases they cause in commercially important fish species. Identification of myxosporeans at the species-level is mainly based on conventional methods. The 18S rRNA gene sequence of morphologically identified Myxobolus orissae infecting the gill lamellae of mrigal carp Cirrhinus mrigala was characterized in the present study. The plasmodia of M. orissae were...
