Goat farming in Bangladesh is primarily centred on indigenous Black Bengal goat, a highly prolific breed. Searching for genetic markers associated with prolificacy in this breed is vital for the country’s goat breeding industry. However, there are no reports on polymorphisms associated with the fert...

Polymorphisms in growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) genes have been found to be associated with litter size in goats across the globe. Our previous study detected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GDF9 and BMP15 genes associated with litter size ...

Abstract Background Shiga toxin‐producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are zoonotic foodborne pathogens and a significant concern with the emergence of antibiotic resistance. Close human contact might have a higher chance of being transmitted to humans from sheep if the sheep population is a potential re...

Abstract Detection of genome-wide genetic variation is one of the primary goals in bovine genomics. Genomes of several cattle breeds have been sequenced so far to understand the genetic variation associated with important phenotypes. Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) is a locally adopted and disease-resis...

Abstract Growth differentiation factor 9 ( GDF9 ) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 ( BMP15 ) are two crucial fecundity genes 15 associated with litter size traits in the goat. Our previous study on GDF9 and BMP15 genes detected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with litter size in B...

Abstract Identification of prolificacy associated genetic markers remains vital in goat breeding industry since an increase in litter size can generate significant profit. Black Bengal is a prolific goat breed in Bangladesh. There are no inland reports on polymorphisms associated with fertility of B...

OBJECTIVES: The Bengal tiger Panthera tigris tigris, is an emblematic animal for Bangladesh. Despite being the apex predator in the wild, their number is decreasing due to anthropogenic activities such as hunting, urbanization, expansion of agriculture and deforestation. By contrast, captive tigers ...

The wild and domesticated peafowls are prone to many bacterial, viral and parasitic infectious diseases. Various factors are contributing to infections in peafowls. However, there is very little published data on preventive measures and management systems against disease conditions and abnormalities...

Inappropriate antimicrobial treatment can pose a risk for developing resistance against antimi-crobial drugs in bacteria. Close human contact might have a higher chance of being transmitted to humans from sheep if the sheep population is a potential reservoir of zoonotic pathogens such as shiga toxi...

The accelerating frequency of emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) in livestock poses a significant threat to global food security, as well as to animal and public health. While wastewater-based surveillance (WBS) has advanced significantly for human health surveillance, its application to livestock ...

ABSTRACT Enterobacter bugandensis ( E. bugandensis ) is a virulent organism, commonly associated with severe, life-threatening infections in neonates. Here, we report the draft genome sequences of multidrug-resistant E. bugandensis strains from African grey parrots in Bangladesh. These provide insig...

ABSTRACT Household pigeons are a potential source of multidrug-resistant ( Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) and act as a transmission vehicle of this bacterium to humans. Here, we characterized the antimicrobial resistance profile and molecular properties of the whole genome sequences of six E. coli str...

Escherichia albertii (E. albertii) is an emergent enteropathogen genetically identical to Escherichia coli (E. coli), often confused as E. coli phenotypically during routine diagnostic procedures. This pathogen possesses cytolethal distending toxin (cdt) responsible for the invasion and persistent c...
