Renewable Immunity: A Support to Humanity
Abstract: The “survival to the fittest” paradigm is invariably weighted w.r.t. competitiveness. This fitness is therefore constantly interacting both with the living races, and the dynamic nature, more than living –albeit in a complex way. While the former appear to tame nature, the fact is that latter demonstrates the superiority from time to time, in which the former attempt to truce with. The latter quality is called immunity especially when it …

Immunomodulatory and Prebiotic Activities of White Oat β-glucans (Avena sativa L.) and the Potential for a Food-base Ecofriendly Therapy
Abstract: Intestinal health is an important sanitary factor for animals and humans and is closely related to the microbiota population of the gastrointestinal tract. Correlated to this fact is the diet that is consumed, which is fundamental for the development and proliferation of ‘beneficial’ bacteria. Modulation of the intestinal microbiota can be achieved by the prebiotic activity of some polysaccharides, which are fermented by these bacteria after being able to pass …

Veterinary Immunology in Zoonotic Disease Control
Abstract: Zoonotic diseases, which are transmissible between animals and humans, pose a significant threat to global public health, food security, and economic stability. Veterinary immunology plays a pivotal role in understanding host–pathogen interactions, developing preventive strategies, and mitigating the impact of these diseases. Animals serve as reservoirs for a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which can persist asymptomatically or cause clinical disease. Understanding the immune mechanisms in both …

Nutrition Induced Gut Microbiota Modulation in Food Animals: Implications for Viral Susceptibility, Shedding and Transmission Dynamics for Sustainable Development
Abstract: The gut microbiota has emerged as a central mediator linking host nutrition, immune competence, and vulnerability to viral pathogens in food animals. Diet is a primary driver of microbial community structure and function, influencing metabolite production, intestinal barrier integrity, and systemic antiviral immunity. Accumulating evidence indicates that nutrition induced modulation of the gut microbiota can substantially alter viral susceptibility, replication, and shedding patterns, with downstream effects on transmission dynamics within …

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Inflammatory, Metabolic, and Neurologic Disorders.
Abstract: The human gut microbiota transforms dietary and hostderived substrates into a diverse array of metabolites—including shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), bile acid derivatives, indoles, trimethylamine Noxide (TMAO), branchedchain amino acid (BCAA) derivatives, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—that act as key signaling mediators along epithelial, immune, endocrine, and neural axes. These metabolites regulate barrier integrity, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and gut–brain communication and are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel …

Infant’s Immunity w.s.r. to Compliment System: A General Review
Abstract: Infant’s mortality and morbidity rate in developing countries are at higher incidence due to infections. Various factors are responsible for infections, such as low socio-economic status, poor hospital facilities and malnutrition etc. The low level of compliment components and serum immunoglobulin in infants has been claimed to be the reason of defective opsonic activity in infants as well as defective generation of chemotaxis activity. Thus immune system during neonatal as …
