A terapia regenerativa da microbiota intestinal: acompanhamento longitudinal de transplante de microbiota fecal em filhotes de cães
Authors: Rodrigues Barbugli Filho Aldo , Tahara Amaral Creusa Sayuri 
Published: November 2024

A microbiota intestinal de cães, gatos e humanos é composta por diversos microrganismos, principalmente bactérias, que influenciam diretamente na saúde dos animais e na ocorrência de múltiplas doenças. Um microbioma com bactérias oportunistas, como Escherichia coli patogênica e Streptococcus, podem causar distúrbios gastrointestinais, agravados pelo uso contínuo de antibióticos. Em animais jovens, a diarreia decorrente de desequilíbrios na microbiota, pode progredir para outras complicações. Cada indivíduo tem uma composição única de microbioma, influenciada por fatores genéticos, ambientais e nutricionais. O transplante de microbiota fecal (TMF) pode ser eficaz na restauração da microbiota saudável e no tratamento de várias patologias, sendo um procedimento de baixo risco. Este trabalho apresenta um estudo de caso, com o relato de dois filhotes da raça Rottweiler, com 60 dias de vida, apresentando diarreia intermitente, não responsiva a antibióticos e foram tratados pela terapia de TMF, repetidos em três doses, em intervalo de 10 dias. Após tratamento com enemas preparados, os filhotes foram monitorados por 90 dias e apresentaram melhora clínica significativa, confirmados por exames de sequenciamento. O TMF promoveu mudanças no microbioma e melhoria dos sintomas, sem reações adversas, otimizando a digestão e absorção de nutrientes. Esse tratamento se mostrou uma alternativa promissora e segura para distúrbios gastrointestinais, prevenindo a progressão de doenças e garantindo o desenvolvimento saudável dos animais tratados.

Published: November 2024

Aflatoxins are a group of mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus fungi that are both toxic and carcinogenic to animals and humans; however, studies on their removal by natural substances have had great success, and bentonite was seen as a possible remedy in this aspect. The study on aflatoxin-producing fungi in stored Maize (Zea mays L.) was conducted on stored maize collected from Muna Market, Maiduguri, based on their year of harvest (2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018). Out of which a total of 49 isolates consisting of Aspergillus spp, Talaromyces islandicus, and Scopulariopsis candida were obtained, these include Aspergillus niger 38.78%, A. flavus 12.24%, A. oryzae 12.24%, A. fumigatus 10.20%, A. parvisclerotigenus 6.12%, A. aflatoxiformans 4.08%, Scopulariopsis candida 14.29%, and Talaromyces islandicus 2.04%. The molecular assay confirms the identity of the isolates amplified using universal ITS primers with 100% query and identity, except sample A (A. aflatoxiformans 087-A2) has 99.62% identity compared with NCBI library. The total aflatoxin profile of the stored maize collected for the 2015 harvest year was 100 ppb before treatment and reduced to 2.2 ppb after treatment. In contrast, the 2016 maize sample, which had 1.8 ppb before treatment, reduced to 1.7 ppb; the 2017 sample had 1.9 ppb reduced to 0.9 ppb; and 2018 had 3 ppb before treatment reduced to 0.3 ppb after treatment; the AfB1 profiles depict that 2015 maize sample had 60 ppb before treatment and reduced to 1ppb after treatment. The 2016 maize sample had one ppb reduced to 0.9 ppb, whereas the 2017 sample had 1 ppb and reduced to 0.6 ppb, and 2018 had 2 ppb and detoxified to 0 ppb after treatment. The Bentonite clay used was found to reduce the toxin levels of the stored maize.

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a staple crop in Afghanistan that is vital to nutrition, food security, and farmer income. It is widely cultivated in different ecological regions in the country and is highly dependent on seasonal precipitation. Varieties with good agronomic performance help farmers earn more and improve their food security. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2022- 23 at the Agriculture Faculty Research Farm of Wardak University to compare the growth and yield of different wheat varieties in Wardak climatic conditions. The experiment comprised four different wheat crop varieties, V1: Solh 0.18, V2: Elham 0.15, V3: Wahdat 0.15, and V4: Diama 0, 17. Out of four varieties, Solh and Elham were winter wheat varieties, while the Daima and Wahdat were facultative wheat varieties. Three replicates of the experiment were set up in a randomized complete block design. Cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, weeding, and other fields were the same for all varieties. As a result, The V3 and V2 significantly increased plant height, number of tillers per m2, number of spikes per m2, number of spikelets per spike, number of grain per spike, number of grain per spikelet,1000 seed weight, and grain yield per ha, respectively, compared to the V4. Considering the performances of varieties, it seems that V3 and V2 have the potential to produce high-yield products in Maidan Wardak, Afghanistan.
Climate Smart Agriculture Opportunities and Challenges in Afghanistan

Published: November 2024

Agriculture in dryland regions is directly affected by climate change. In Afghanistan, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) improves productivity resilience and reduces greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). However, climate change, water shortage, population growth, and food insecurity are major challenges in developing countries such as Afghanistan. In the face of climate change, traditional agriculture methods need to be transformed into CSA that are capable of improving food production within the constraints of climate change. A review study was conducted to identify opportunities and challenges for CSA in Afghanistan. Among the many CSA technologies in Afghanistan, the review found, the use of drought resistance varieties, implementation of conservation agriculture, the use of Zai and Half-moon techniques for planting pits, moisture conservation, rainwater harvesting, watershed management, drip irrigation system, soil carbon sequestration, control erosion techniques, and climate forecast services are the best opportunities and as promising options for risk management and adaptation to climate change. Still, unfortunately, most of these options have not yet been implemented by Afghan farmers, just followed by researchers. In addition, CSA in Afghanistan faces several solvable challenges. Limited understanding of the CSA concept and framework, limited investment to develop and implement CSA technologies, inadequate communication between government, policymakers, farmers, climate change impacts, GHG, and traditional agriculture. The review recommended that CSA practices be suitable options for all stakeholders to increase income and ensure food security and sustainable agriculture by adaptation practices against climate change. This review provides new strategies and ideas for strengthening sustainable agriculture, food security, environmental protection, and mitigating the impact of climate change.

Published: November 2024

The enormous rate of urbanization, industrialization and unreasonable consumption positions severe pressure on global waste management systems as well as the exceedingly fast pace of pile-up of rubbish threatening a broke ecological balance. This research investigates the Circular economy (CE) practices as a constructive strategy to solve these problems. However, the issue is that our current linear waste management systems are extremely inefficient, having an overreliance on the use of landfilling and incineration for disposing of waste, leading to resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions. This research aims to assess the effects of CE practices on waste reduction, resource efficiency and landfill diversion with a view towards understanding regional variability and the obstacles(s) and opportunities to adoption. The study adopts a mixed-methods perspective, combining qualitative data from stakeholder interviews and case studies with quantitative information concerning waste management performance. Highlights show that the CE practices decrease waste generation by 25–40%, boost recycling rates of up to 50–65%, and divert as much as 70–80% of waste away from landfills. The research still points to challenges including economic costs, gaps in policy and technology especially in the developing world. The results are closely aligned with global benchmarks and affirm the efficacy of CE practices. Finally the paper provides policy implications aimed at policymakers, industries and researchers observing that to promote faster adoption of CE practices there is an urgent need for coherent policies, technological innovation and public awareness. Combined, these results highlight how CE principles can transform waste management systems and support the pursuit of global sustainability goals.

Published: November 2024

Yam is a tuber crop grown for food security, cultural value and income generation. Due to its high nutrient-demanding nature, soil fertility is required for its cultivation. fertilizer is a crucial agronomic factor in yam production, Still, yam farmers are skeptical about fertilizer usage because of their fear of it exerting poor qualities on yam tubers. Limited information on the effect of fertilizer on yam tuber quality is available.
Four varieties each of Dioscorea rotundata (TDr9518544, Danacha, Hembakwase and Ojuiyawo) and Dioscorea alata (TDa291, TDa0200012, TDa0000194 and TDa9801176) were cultivated under non-fertilization, manure fertilizer (4.5t ha‑1 poultry manure) and NPK fertilizer (90, 50 and 75 Kg N, P, K ha-1). The field experiment was conducted in the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Ibadan, Nigeria, in the 2017 and 2018 cropping seasons. The harvested tubers were evaluated for colour indices (L, a*, b* and browning index) and starch properties (starch yield, amylose and amylopectin, starch granule size and shape). Data obtained was subjected to analysis of variance using Statistical Analysis System software (SAS) package and means were separated using Duncan multiple range test with a probability of p≤0.05.
Fertilizer did not cause browning or any significant change in the colour indices of the tuber flesh. starch yield (18.83 to 28.3%), increase in amylose was observed in D. rotundata in the order; manureNPKcontrol with manure having 92.66% and NPK 40.2% increase. Fertilizer had no significant effect on the granule size and shapes of the starches.
Hence, fertilizer, especially manure and NPK, should be used to cultivate yam on nutrient-depleted soil without detrimental tuber colour and starch.

Published: November 2024

Water yam tubers are staple food consumed in the South-Eastern Nigeria and are susceptible to microbial contamination in storage. This investigation focused on antagonistic potentials of saprophytic fungi, Cryptococcus nemorosus, Rhodotorula toruloides and Nakaseomyces glabratus against the spoilage fungi of water yam tubers in storage. The diseased tissues from the water yam samples were inoculated on PDA plates. The microbial pathogens obtained were; Botryodiplodia theobromae, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Fusarium solani and Penicillium spp. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was employed and the Duncan’s New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) was used to test the difference among treatments. The results of the in vitro assessment of fungal pathogens on water yam samples revealed that Cryptococcus nemorosus showed the highest zone of inhibition (13.50 + 0.12 mm) on Botryodiplodia theobromae while the least zone of inhibition (9.14 + 0.26 mm) was recorded for Fusarium solani after 48 hours of incubation. Rhodotorula toruloides recorded the highest zone of inhibition (22.10 + 0.45 mm) on Rhizopus stolonifer whereas the least zone of inhibition (9.05 + 0.36 mm) was observed on Botryodiplodia theobromae after 48 hours of incubation. Nakaseomyces glabratus showed the highest zone of inhibition (27.80 + 0.13 mm) on Botryodiplodia theobromae while the least zone of inhibition (14.84 + 0. 20 mm) was recorded against Fusarium solani after 48 hours of incubation. The results of the in vivo mean mycelia radial growth of the fungal pathogens revealed that Cryptococcus nemorosus showed the highest growth (73.75 + 0.11 mm) against Aspergillus niger while the least growth (64.80 + 0.15 mm) was observed on Rhizopus stolonifer after 48 hours of incubation. Rhodotorula toruloides had the highest growth (68.45 + 0.50 mm) on Aspergillus niger while the least growth (55.50 + 0.09 mm) was recorded against Rhizopus stolonifer after 48 hours of incubation. Nakaseomyces glabratus showed the highest growth (67.00 + 0.12 mm) on Rhizopus stolonifer whereas the least growth (51.90 + 0.12 mm) was recorded against Botryodiplodia theobromae after 48 hours of incubation. The fungitoxic potentials of these biological antagonists on water yam rot can provide an alternative to synthetic fungicides since it is less expensive, environmentally friendly and easy to prepare.

This study aims to investigate the compatibility of biopolymeric derivatives with the biocontrol agents and its antifungal activity against fungi plant pathogens. In vitro studies have been carried out by using completely randomized design. This study was conducted at Plant Pathology Division, ICAR-Indian Institute of Oilseeds Research, Hyderabad, India, during March to April 2023. Different combinations of treatments were prepared using lignin derivative (LD). Compatibility of LD with Trichoderma harzianum Th4d was tested using poison food technique and data was recoded at 4 and 7 days after inoculation. Antifungal activity of lignin derivatives against foliar pathogens namely Phaeoisariopsis personata causing leaf spot of groundnut and Golovinomyces cichoracearum causing powdery mildew of sunflower was assessed using spore germination technique. Data was recorded at 24 and 48 hours after incubation. Significant difference was observed among the treatments with respect to mycelial growth of Trichoderma harzianum Th4d. LD+chitosan exhibited 100% compatibility with full growth of T. harzianum. Further, LD+chitosan+Th4d at the concentration of 0.10% significantly inhibited the spore germination of P. personata and G. cichoracearum with per cent germination inhibition of 87.53 and 93.27%, respectively. Results suggests that lignin derivative integration with other biopolymers and biocontrol agents can be effectively used for the management of foliar plant pathogens.
