Article Abstract
Piroplasmosis and anaplasmosis are important zoonotic diseases of animal origin, which can be transmitted by ticks to infect animals. However, there is limited information on the infection of piroplasmosis and anaplasmosis in Tan sheep in Ningxia, China. In order to understand the prevalence of piroplasmosis and anaplasmosis in Tan sheep in Ningxia, 150 blood samples of Tan sheep from farms in five urban areas of Ningxia were detected by PCR, and some positive samples were sequenced to establish a phylogenetic tree. PCR revealed that the prevalence of spp. in Tan sheep in Ningxia was 28.0%. The overall prevalence of was 33.3%, of which spp. and spp. were 20.7% and 12.7%, respectively. Among the samples of different ages, the highest detection rates of and spp. were found in Tan sheep aged 20-30 months, and the detection rate of spp., spp., and spp. were 25.4%, 23.6%, and 36.3%, respectively. In this study, one species was identified as , two species were identified as and , and two species were identified as and , and the dominant species were and . To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report detailing the infection rate and genotype of and spp. in Tan sheep in Ningxia, China. The results of this study provide valuable data for understanding the epidemiology of tick-borne disease in Tan sheep in Ningxia, China, and lay a theoretical foundation for the prevention and control of piroplasmosis and anaplasmosis in Tan sheep in Ningxia, northwest China.

The lumpy skin disease (LSD), caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), represents an emerging infectious disease that poses substantial economic losses to the cattle industries in China. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiological characteristics of LSDV in Yunnan Province, Southwest China, from 2019 to 2023. A Taqman-probe-based real-time PCR (qPCR) assay was developed for the molecular detection of LSDV nucleotides.

Irrigation and fertilization strategies have been extensively employed to enhance the growth and yield of greenhouse tomatoes. However, the impacts of divergent fertilizer application patterns on soil microbial communities under water-saving irrigation regimes in China's arid and semi-arid zones remain underexplored. In this study, a pot experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of Yuncheng University, Shanxi Province, incorporating three irrigation levels (I1, 90%-100% field capacity [Fs]; I2, 72%-80% Fs; I3, 54%-60% Fs) and four fertilization modes (C1, soluble organic-inorganic fertilizer combination; C2, sole soluble inorganic fertilizer; C3, sheep manure-inorganic fertilizer combination; C4, sole soluble organic fertilizer) to evaluate the effects of water-fertilizer management on the growth and physiological attributes of greenhouse tomatoes.

Wool has distinctive biological, physical, and chemical properties that contribute to its value both for the sheep and in global fibre and textile markets. Its fibres are primarily composed of proteins, principally keratin and keratin-associated proteins (KAPs). To better comprehend the genes that underpin key wool traits, this study examined the keratin-associated protein 36-1 gene () in Chinese Tan lambs.

Increasing evidence highlights the beneficial effects of dietary lipids on human health, and understanding the nutritional and bioactive properties of characteristic lipids in high-quality agri-food products can further advance biomarker-driven personalized nutrition. Here we characterize the lipidomic landscape of Tan lamb using UPLC-Q-Extractive-MS/MS, identifying 1521 lipid species and revealing significant differences in glycerolipid (GL) abundance between the Longissimus Dorsi and Rectus Femoris. Further differential lipid analysis identified 50 lipid biomarkers of Tan lamb, all of which exhibited higher levels compared to those in Oula and Bahan.

MAFA, a member of the large Maf transcription factor family, is known primarily for its role in regulating insulin gene expression. However, its function in non-pancreatic tissues remains largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the role of MAFA in skeletal muscle and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms.
