Prime-pull immunisation with yeast-based vaccine modifies cell trafficking and induces T-cell immunity in the bovine mammary gland

This study demonstrates that a prime-pull vaccination regimen using an improved bivalent *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*-based formulation effectively modulates cell trafficking and induces protective memory T-cell immunity in the bovine mammary gland without compromising tissue integrity.

Co-inoculation and single-species inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are associated with different growth and survival patterns in olive seedlings

This study demonstrates that while single-species inoculation with *Acaulospora longula* enhances olive seedling survival and *Gigaspora rosea* promotes shoot growth, co-inoculation yields intermediate results, supporting the potential of targeted arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi applications in olive nursery production despite limitations in quantitative colonization assessment.

Cellulose Acetate Nanoparticles: Impacts of Concentration and Exposure Time on the Biochemistry and Hematology of Juvenile Colossoma Macropomum

Exposure of juvenile *Colossoma macropomum* to cellulose acetate nanoparticles induces transient, concentration- and time-dependent alterations in hematological and biochemical parameters, with partial physiological recovery observed after transferring the fish to clean water.

Biocontrol Potential of Rhizobacteria Isolated from Aquaponic Systems with Eruca vesicaria Against Fusarium sp.

This study demonstrates that rhizobacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of arugula (*Eruca vesicaria*) in aquaponic systems, particularly specific strains of *Bacillus pumilus*, *Bacillus cereus*, and *Brucella pecoris*, exhibit significant potential as biocontrol agents against *Fusarium* sp., offering a promising sustainable strategy for managing phytopathogens.

Lamb Mortality, Gastrointestinal Helminth Infections and Associated Risk Factors in Smallholder

This study conducted in Southwest Shoa and Jimma Zones, Ethiopia, reveals that lamb mortality is significantly driven by gastrointestinal helminth infections (particularly *Fasciola* spp.), delayed colostrum intake, and lack of veterinary care, highlighting the urgent need for improved neonatal management and strategic parasite control to enhance smallholder sheep productivity.
