This study investigated the beneficial effects of dietary supplementation with brown macroalga, Ascophyllum nodosum meal (ANM) on growth, digestive enzymes, antioxidant defenses, immune functions, and resistance of white-leg shrimp, Penaeus vannamei to Vibrio harveyi infection. Animals were divided into six triplicated groups and fed with 0 (control), 5, 10, 20, 30, and 40 g ANM/kg feed for 10 weeks. Afterwards, animals were e...

The present study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with ethanolic extracts of Ulva sp. and garlic ( Allium sativum ) on the growth performance, muscle composition, digestive enzyme activity and immune response of Pacific whiteleg shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei ). A60‐day feeding trial was conducted using seven experimental diets, including a control and diets supplemented with varying concentrations of Ulva sp...

Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus, GBS) poses a significant threat to Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) aquaculture, causing severe streptococcosis characterised by high mortality and economic losses. This study elucidates the pathogenesis of S. agalactiae through an integrated diagnostic approach and evaluates bacteriophage therapy as a sustainable alternative to antibiotic treatments. Clinical signs in inf...

This study examined how European seabass, Dicentrarchus labrax , juveniles are affected by heat stress in several ways, including growth biometrics, stress indicators, oxidative stress biomarkers, and histopathological changes. Our research aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of thermal stress on these parameters. Hence, European seabass juveniles (30–32 g) were exposed to temperatures of 20 °C, 23 °C, 26 °C, 29...

The inflammatory response in ulcerative colitis (UC) could be relieved by the conventional immunomodulatory agents; 5-aminosalicylic acid, corticosteroids, or azathioprine. However, the low remission rates and the intolerance to these agents necessitate investigation of gene expression signature in UC that could influence the therapeutic efficacy of drugs, as well as the interference with persistence genes by novel therapeutic...
