Article Abstract

The global livestock industry is facing a serious threat from a widespread foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) epidemic. The timely detection of FMDV can significantly mitigate its harmful effects. This study aimed to establish and evaluate a TaqMan fluorescence quantitative PCR assay to assess its sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and stability. The standard curve equation range is 6.43 × 10-6.43 × 10 copies/µL, with an R value of 0.996 and a standard curve equation of y = -3.586x + 36.245. The method successfully detected 64.3 copies/µL of the target gene for FMDV and exhibited high specificity for FMDV. Repeatability tests demonstrated low coefficients of variation within and between groups (<2%), indicating good reproducibility. The clinical samples analyzed using this method showed results consistent with those of the SYBR Green I RT-qPCR assay, confirming the reliability of the method. Overall, the developed test method displayed high sensitivity, specificity, reproducibility, and stability, making it suitable for the rapid diagnosis of foot-and-mouth disease in clinical settings.

Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), a critical pathogen in the global livestock industry, has long been a focal point of international disease control strategies. This study developed a nanoparticle-based FMDV vaccine platform. We fused the FMDV immunodominant epitope (VP1-G-H-loop) and T-cell epitope (T) with the nanoparticle scaffold (LS), efficiently producing the T-LS-LOOP nanoparticle vaccine using the prokaryotic expression system (BL21).

Objective: Enterovirus 71 (EV-A71) is a major pathogen of severe hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in children, but the mechanism by which it develops into severe HFMD remains unclear, especially the role of macrophage-mediated immune dysregulation.

Methods: Bioinformatics tools were utilized to analyze the transcriptome sequencing results of peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) infected with different titers of EV-A71 at various time points. Single-cell sequencing technology was used to sequence obtained PBMCs from a severe HFMD patient due to EV-A71 and a healthy control.

Foot and mouth disease (FMD) remains endemic in several countries across Southeast Asia, China, and Mongolia (SEACFMD region), posing an ongoing threat to livestock and trade. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics and analyze the spatial and temporal distribution of FMD outbreaks reported across the SEACFMD region. FMD outbreak and virus lineage data from 2015 to 2023 were utilized.

The interplay between host innate immunity and pathogen evasion is a dynamic battle shaping infection outcomes. The Topical Collection "Regulation of Antiviral and Antimicrobial Innate Immunity and Immune Evasion" synthesizes findings from thirteen recent studies to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of innate immune signaling and pathogen countermeasures. Host pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), including Toll-like receptors (TLRs), RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), and DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS), drive type I interferon (IFN-I) and interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs) responses, alongside processes like autophagy and inflammasome activation, to combat viral and bacterial infections.

Background: The long-term association between exposure to air pollution-particularly during early life-and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) remains unclear. Moreover, evidence is lacking regarding the potentially differential effects of PM constituents on HFMD.

Methods: We included 41,256 children aged 0-6 years from a nationwide survey covering 15 Chinese provinces in 2013.
