    Abstract Newcastle disease (ND) is one of the most important poultry diseases worldwide and can lead to annual losses of up to 80% of backyard chickens in Africa. A retrospective cohort of 6 years was planned to screen the NDV in intensive chicken and turkey flocks. The existence of velogenic NDV strain was screened in different poultry flocks showing suspected signs of NDV using real-time RT-PCR targeting the F gene of the velogenic strain. A total of 843 poultry flocks were screened during the cohort. Samples were classified based on the month and year as well as the poultry type. All flocks should be negative for avian influenza virus as an inclusion criterion of the study. The F gene of a randomly selected positive sample from each year as well as an archival sample from 2005 was sequenced. An overall of 52.4% (443/842) of the tested farms showed positive results for the velogenic NDV. The cumulative percentage of positive flocks to the total positive flocks per month ranged from 5.9 to 11.8%. The results revealed that NDV is circulating across all months annually without evidence of seasonal tendency of the disease. Most of the strains belong to genotype VII.1.1, with only two strains related to XXI.1.1 and XXI.2. All VII.1.1 strains possess arginine at 27 position while XXI.1.1 and XXI.2 strains showed cysteine at 27 and amino acid substitutions in the signal peptide, cleavage site, and neutralizing epitopes. In conclusion, the current molecular epidemiological surveillance confirms the enzootic nature of NDV. It circulates all year round with no evidence of seasonal incidence. Genotype VII is the most predominant NDV genotype in Egypt.

    Abstract Aim: This study aimed to measure the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in neonates from infected mothers and to screen disease severity in neonates.
    Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study of neonates from SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers, enrolling mothers who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 and their neonates. Eleven infants <25 days old presenting with SARS-CoV-2 infection were also included in the study. We recorded clinical symptoms of SARS-CoV-2-positive mothers and their neonates.
    Results: One of 126 babies born to SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers was found to be positive (0.79%). The referred positive neonates were either asymptomatic or suffered from symptoms ranging from mild respiratory distress to pneumonia. Most SARS-CoV-2-positive neonates showed neutropenia and lymphocytosis. Most of the SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers (n = 126) were either asymptomatic (46, 36.5%) or showed mild respiratory distress (66, 52.4%). However, pneumonia and severe respiratory distress were reported in 14 (11.1%) of the SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers. There were no deaths of either SARS-CoV-2-infected mothers or neonates.
    Conclusion: We conclude that mothers transmitted infection to their neonates at a very low rate. Disease in neonates is usually mild, although some babies have severe disease. SARS-CoV-2 infection in late pregnancy usually leads to mild maternal disease, but severe disease is reported in approximately one-tenth of the infected women.

    Abstract Sepsis is a serious disease characterized by an inappropriate host response to infection, resulting in widespread inflammation and systemic organ failure. The aim of this research is to investigate the possibility of pomegranate peel-derived silver nanoparticles (PGNP) as a potential alternative therapy for sepsis. Characterization using transmission electron microscopy revealed 10-30 nm spherical nanoparticles. In a rat model of sepsis, PGNP treatment improved spleen health, histology, and immune response as compared with septic rats. In rats treated with PGNP during sepsis, significant alterations in oxidative stress markers (p < .01) were observed. These included elevated levels of glutathione (0.63 ± 0.08 mmol/mg protein), reduced concentrations of nitric oxide (8.7 ± 0.8 μ mol/mg protein) and malondialdehyde (2.2 ± 0.3 nmol/mg protein), as well as increased activity of superoxide dismutase (159 ± 33 U/mg protein). Following PGNP administration, gene expression analysis revealed a decrease in spleen IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, highlighting its anti-inflammatory potential. Furthermore, PGNP effectively controlled apoptosis-related genes (Bax, Bcl-2, and Casp3), indicating its role in cellular survival pathways. This study sheds light on the immunological regulation of the spleen during sepsis using PGNP, demonstrating its potential as a new effective treatment approach. The study emphasizes the necessity of continuing to investigate and develop alternative medicines, particularly in light of antibiotic resistance and the global impact of sepsis. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: The study explored the potential medicinal benefits of pomegranate peel-derived silver nanoparticles (PGNP) in the treatment of sepsis. PGNP suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhanced the immune response. The study recommends PGNP as a viable substitute treatment.

    Abstract Contagious Ecthyma (CE) is a highly contagious viral disease of sheep and goats with worldwide distribution. The present study aimed to provide a clinical description of contagious ecthyma in four sheep flocks and screen the possible genetic variation in the B2L gene of the detected isolates. Oral lesions were collected and inoculated into chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) of 11 days embryonated chicken eggs. Polymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing of the B2L gene was conducted. Infected sheep exhibited anorexia with a development of nodular lesions evolving in proliferative thick scabs around oral commissures. The inoculated CAM showed small-sized white pock lesions accompanied with thickening of CAM. The partial length of B2L gene (592 bp) was successfully amplified in samples collected from four flocks. The isolated strains belong to genotype I/I and I/II. Sequence and evolutionary analysis illustrate that B2L gene (ORF011) are highly conserved among Orf viruses isolated from different countries.
