Development and validation of a monoclonal antibody-based solid-phase competitive ELISA for post-vaccination seromonitoring of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype O

This study developed and validated a highly sensitive, specific, and reproducible monoclonal antibody-based solid-phase competitive ELISA that offers a standardized and sustainable alternative to conventional hyperimmune serum-dependent assays for large-scale post-vaccination seromonitoring of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype O in cattle and buffalo.

Identifying Yield-Limiting Nutrients for Tef [Eragrostis Tef (Zucc.)Trotter] Across Landscape Positions in West Belesa District, Northeastern Ethiopia

A field experiment in West Belesa District, Ethiopia, investigated yield-limiting nutrients for tef across different landscape positions but found insufficient evidence to draw definitive conclusions, highlighting the need for further multi-location and multi-season studies.

UAV-Based Assessment of Pre- and Post-Harvest Water Stress Dynamics in Vineyards Using NDRE and GNDVI Spectral Responses

This study demonstrates that UAV-based multispectral monitoring using complementary GNDVI and NDRE indices effectively characterizes pre- and post-harvest water stress dynamics and spatial heterogeneity in a Turkish vineyard, offering a valuable framework for precision irrigation and climate-resilient viticulture.

Concurrent Triple Parasitic Infection (Ctenocephalides canis, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Toxocara canis) in a Domestic Dog from Bangladesh: Clinical Management and Zoonotic Implications

This case report documents the successful diagnosis and treatment of a rare concurrent triple parasitic infection involving *Ctenocephalides canis*, *Rhipicephalus sanguineus*, and *Toxocara canis* in a dog from Bangladesh. The diagnosis was confirmed through both gross examination and detailed stereomicroscopic morphological identification using the characteristic features of each parasite. Published reports describing concurrent infection with *Ctenocephalides canis*, *Rhipicephalus sanguineus*, and *Toxocara canis* in a single dog remain scarce. The report highlights the clinical efficacy of a regimen where the dog received a single oral combination product containing sarolaner, moxidectin, and pyrantel pamoate, together with supportive care. Sarolaner eliminated fleas and ticks—vectors for dangerous diseases such as ehrlichiosis and Rocky Mountain spotted fever—while moxidectin and pyrantel pamoate treated the intestinal roundworm infection. The study emphasizes the importance of routine screening to mitigate zoonotic risks, as *Toxocara canis* can infect humans when infective eggs from contaminated environments are accidentally ingested, potentially causing visceral or ocular toxocariasis.

Enhancing Growth Performance, Nutritional status of Oat as Affected by foliar application of Biostimulants under Sandy Soil Conditions

A two-year field study conducted in Egypt's Nubaria region demonstrates that foliar application of biostimulants, particularly Blue Green Algae, significantly enhances the growth performance, photosynthetic pigments, forage yield, and nutritional quality of oat varieties cultivated in newly reclaimed sandy soils compared to untreated controls.
