    Abstract To meet the nutritional requirements of our growing population, animal production must double by 2050, and due to the exhaustion of environmental capacity, any growth will have to come from aquaculture. Aquaculture is currently undergoing a dynamic development, but the intensification of production increases the risk of bacterial diseases. In recent years, there has been a drastic development in the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents approved for use, which has also taken place in aquaculture. Consequently, animal mortality and economic losses in livestock have increased. The use of drugs in closed systems is an additional challenge as it can damage biological filters. For this reason, there has been a growing interest in natural methods of combating pathogens. One of the methods is the use of bacteriophages both for prophylactic purposes and therapy. This work summarizes the diverse results of the in vivo application of bacteriophages for the prevention and control of bacterial pathogens in aquatic animals to provide a reference for further research on bacteriophages in aquaculture and to compare major achievements in the field.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chromium(III), iron(III), molybdenum(III) and nickel(II) and their combinations on pro- and antioxidant activity in mouse embryo fibroblasts and liver cancer cells. The present study shows that chromium(III), iron(III), nickel(II) and molybdenum(III) induce oxidative stress. In the case of chromium(III), nickel(II) and molybdenum(III) the intracellular ROS were dominant. However, in the case of iron(III) MDA was dominant - the end product of lipid peroxidation. Antioxidant activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase increased in low concentration of chromium(III); however, they decreased in higher concentrations. The same enzymes decreased after iron(III), nickel(II) and molybdenum(III) treatment in dose dependent manner. The activity of glutathione peroxidise decreased in dose dependent manner in all used microelements. Additions of Cr(III) at 200 μM plus Fe(III) at 1000 μM showed synergistic effect in ROS production and in lowering antioxidant activity. The same type of interaction in pairs Cr(III) at 1000 μM plus Fe(III) or Ni(II) or Mo(III) at concentration of 200 μM was observed. The protective effects of Cr(III) in antioxidant activity and in lowering intracellular ROS production in pairs of Cr(III) at 200 μM and Ni(II) or Mo(III) at concentration of 1000 μM were observed.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effect of chromium(III) and iron(III) and molybdenum(III) and nickel(II) and their combinations on cyto-, genotoxicity and mutagenicity in BALB/3T3 and HepG2 cells. The results obtained from cytotoxicity assays indicate that there are differences between BALB/3T3 and HepG2 cell lines in their sensitivity to chromium chloride, iron chloride, molybdenum trioxide and nickel chloride. The statistically significant increase of DNA damage of all used microelements in both cell lines was observed. The micronucleus assay performed with the use of all concentrations shows statistically significant induction of chromosomal aberrations in all tested microelements in both cell lines. Moreover, treated cells display characteristic apoptosis in comparison to control cells. In all tested microelements, the increase of number of reverse mutations was observed with and without metabolic activation. Additions of Cr(III) at 200 μM plus Fe(III) at 1000 μM showed synergistic effect in decrease of cell viability and increase of comets, micronuclei and number of revertants in both cell lines. In case of Cr(III) at 200 μM plus Mo(III) at 1000 μM, a protective effect of chromium against molybdenum at 1000 μM toxicity in both cell lines (assessed by MTT, LDH and NRU, comet, micronucleus and Ames assays) was observed. The protective effect of Cr(III) in decrease of cell viability was observed in pair of Cr(III) at 200 μM and Ni(II) at 1000 μM in BALB/3T3 and HepG2 cell lines assessed by MTT, LDH and NRU, comet, micronucleus and Ames assays.

    Abstract The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first identified in China by the end of 2019 and was responsible for a pandemic in the human population that resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the role of animals as spill-over or reservoir hosts was discussed. In addition to cats and dogs, ferrets are becoming increasingly popular as companion animals. Under experimental conditions, ferrets are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 and it appears that they can also be infected through contact with a SARS-CoV-2 positive owner. However, there is still little information available regarding these natural infections. Here, we serologically tested samples collected from pet ferrets (n = 45) from Poland between June and September 2021. Of the ferrets that were included in the study, 29% (13/45) had contact with owners with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections. Nevertheless, SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies could not be detected in any of the animals, independent of the infection status of the owner. The obtained results suggest that ferrets cannot be readily infected with SARS-CoV-2 under natural conditions, even after prolonged contact with infected humans. However, due to the rapid mutation rate of this virus, it is important to include ferrets in future monitoring studies.
