In the next two decades, the world population will increase significantly; the majority in the
developing countries located in the tropics of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean …

Background: Probiotic bacteria have a beneficial effect on intestinal inflammation. In this
study, we have examined the effect of lactic acid and commensal Gram positive (+) bacteria …

The rise of anthelmintic resistance worldwide has led to the development of alternative
control strategies for gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) infections, which are one of the main …

Helicobacter pylori has been reported to induce interleukin-6 (IL-6) production in monocytes/
macrophages and in chronically inflamed gastric tissues. The mechanism by which H. pylori …

The capacity of non-pathogenic enteric bacteria to induce a pro-inflammatory response is
under debate in terms of its effect on the symbiosis between the mammalian host and its …

Background & Aims: Few data exist on the molecular events causing intestinal epithelial
destruction during inflammatory processes, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In …

A meta-analysis was performed to quantify the effect of the energy and protein intakes of
growing sheep and goats infected with gastrointestinal parasites on some animal …

While pleiotropic adaptive mutations are thought to be central for evolution, little is known on
the downstream molecular effects allowing adaptation to complex ecologically relevant …

Small ruminants are affected by gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection. A promising
alternative strategy for control of GIN infection is to increase the level of resistance in the …

Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infections are one of the major constraints for grazing
sheep and goat production worldwide. Genetic selection for resistant animals is a promising …
