Immunogenicity, security and protection against small ruminant lentivirus (SRLV) challenge in sheep, induced by intranasal immunization with a recombinant Sendai virus vector expressing SRLV gag-P25.

The veterinary quarterly
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) are responsible for significant economic losses in sheep and goat farming; however, effective vaccination strategies remain unavailable. This study evaluated the immunogenicity, safety, and protective efficacy of a ...

Machine learning based on pangenome-wide association studies reveals the impact of host source on the zoonotic potential of closely related bacterial pathogens.

Communications biology
Variations in host species significantly impact bacterial growth traits and antibiotic resistance, making it essential to consider host origin when evaluating the zoonotic potential of pathogens. This study focuses on multiple Brucella species, which...

Machine learning for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons analysis in roasted lamb: new insights from spectral and chemical data.

Food chemistry
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) generated during lamb roasting pose health risks but are difficult to predict due to their low concentrations and complex features. Existing models fail to address data scarcity and low-concentration prediction...

Comparison of conventional and radiomics-based analysis of myocardial infarction using multimodal non-linear optical microscopy.

Scientific reports
Myocardial infarction, a leading cause of mortality worldwide, leaves survivors at significant risk of recurrence caused by scar-related re-entrant ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Effective treatment with ablation therapy requires a precise guidance sy...

DASNet a dual branch multi level attention sheep counting network.

Scientific reports
Grassland sheep counting is essential for both animal husbandry and ecological balance. Accurate population statistics help optimize livestock management and sustain grassland ecosystems. However, traditional counting methods are time-consuming and c...

Effect of PUFAs-ω3 and ω6 on oxidative stress of sheep erythrocytes.

BMC veterinary research
BACKGROUND: In recent years, the use of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) ω3 and ω6, as food supplements in livestock has increased due to their beneficial properties related to their antioxidant activity. It has been demonstrated however...

Integration of epigenomic and genomic data to predict residual feed intake and the feed conversion ratio in dairy sheep via machine learning algorithms.

BMC genomics
BACKGROUND: Feed efficiency (FE) is an essential trait in livestock species because of the constant demand to increase the productivity and sustainability of livestock production systems. A better understanding of the biological mechanisms associated...

SVLearn: a dual-reference machine learning approach enables accurate cross-species genotyping of structural variants.

Nature communications
Structural variations (SVs) are diverse forms of genetic alterations and drive a wide range of human diseases. Accurately genotyping SVs, particularly occurring at repetitive genomic regions, from short-read sequencing data remains challenging. Here,...

Predictive estimation of ovine hip joint centers: Neural networks vs. linear regression.

Journal of biomechanics
The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of neural networks to estimate the hip joint center location in sheep and compare the accuracy of neural networks to previously developed linear regression models. CT scans from 16 sheep of var...

Comparison between AI and human expert performance in acute pain assessment in sheep.

Scientific reports
This study explores the question whether Artificial Intelligence (AI) can outperform human experts in animal pain recognition using sheep as a case study. It uses a dataset of N = 48 sheep undergoing surgery with video recordings taken before (no pai...
