Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …

Silkworm Growth and Silk Yield under Changing Climatic Conditions: Challenges and Adaptations
Abstract: Climate change is emerging as a critical factor affecting agriculture and sericulture industries worldwide. Rising global temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and the growing frequency of extreme weather events present ever challenges to the growth and productivity of silkworms (Bombyx mori L.). Silkworms are extremely sensitive to environmental conditions like temperature, humidity, and photoperiod, all altered by climate change. Higher temperatures can accelerate silkworm metabolism, reduce silk yield, and increase susceptibility …

Design and Development of Novel Floating Drug Delivery Systems
Abstract: Recent advances in science and technology have greatly aided in the creation of novel drug delivery methods, especially in addressing physiological issues including irregular stomach emptying times and brief stomach residence periods. Long-term stomach absorption is the goal of gastro-retentive dosage forms (GRDF). Floating drug delivery systems, expanding or swelling systems, polymer-based bioadhesive systems, high-density systems, and other ways that postpone stomach emptying are just a few of the techniques …

Atmospheric Determinants of Feed, Fodder, and Forage Contamination in a Changing Climate: Emerging Challenges for Sustainable Livestock Production
Abstract: Feed, fodder, and forage contamination represents a growing constraint to sustainable livestock production under a changing climate. Atmospheric determinants such as rising temperature, altered precipitation patterns, increased humidity, elevated carbon dioxide concentration, and enhanced aerosol and pollutant loads are increasingly recognized as critical drivers of contamination risks across feed supply chains. These atmospheric factors directly and indirectly influence crop growth, fungal proliferation, mycotoxin biosynthesis, microbial survival, and the deposition of …

Breaking the Cycle: The Impact of Hygiene Deficiencies on the Health of the Poor
Abstract: Poor sanitation and hygiene present significant health risks, particularly for individuals in low- income communities. Inadequate sanitation systems increase the likelihood of exposure to harmful microorganisms found in contaminated water, food, and environments. This exposure contributes to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and typhoid, along with various gastrointestinal illnesses. Limited access to clean water and soap for handwashing exacerbates these risks, particularly for children, who are …

Ants in Ecosystems and Agriculture: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Nearly 60% of the world’s habitats are underutilized. And current agricultural practices are blamed for contributing to soil carbon depletion and biodiversity loss. Climate change, habitat fragmentation, and other challenges hinder species development, leading to projected shifts in species distribution. This calls for alternative management strategies. The organizational structure of social insects, especially ants, offers a model for improved ants account for half of all insect biomass. It plays an …

Tsetse Flies and African Trypanosomiasis: Biology, Epidemiology, and Integrated Vector Control.
Abstract: Tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) are hematophagous dipterans confined to sub-Saharan Africa and serve as cyclical vectors of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) and African animal trypanosomiasis (AAT), with major implications for human health, livestock productivity, and rural development. An integrated understanding of tsetse biology, parasite transmission, climate, and land–use–driven distribution shifts, and the comparative performance of control tools—especially insecticides and sterile insect technique (SIT)—is essential for designing sustainable elimination strategies. HAT …

Early Life Nutrition as a Determinant of Long-Term Vaccine Immunogenicity in Livestock: Mechanisms, Practical Strategies, and Species-Specific Considerations
Abstract: Early life represents a critical period for immune system development in livestock, during which nutritional exposures can exert long lasting effects on vaccine immunogenicity. Although vaccination is a cornerstone of infectious disease control in food producing animals, marked variability in vaccine induced immune responses is frequently observed under commercial conditions. Growing evidence suggests that this variability is partly driven by differences in early nutritional status, which can influence immune maturation, …
