Common livestock and poultry include pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, horses, deer, camels, and so on. Parasites in livestock and poultry include roundworms, tapeworms, hookworms, gynaecia, fleas, lice, fleas, straw worms, schistosomes, pulmonary schistosomes, mange mites, helminths, flea mites, ticks, etc. The hazards of livestock parasites are mainly manifested as leading to animal health problems and industrial economic losses. Livestock and poultry parasites can directly invade animals, reproduce and grow, and ingest their nutrients and blood, causing diarrhea, anemia and other symptoms, and even death. In addition, livestock and poultry parasites can also continue to contaminate the environment through indirect means, such as excretion into the environment after infecting the host, affecting human health. The study of livestock parasites is a global issue, and international research on livestock parasites has been relatively active. Agriculture, veterinary, and other related institutions and universities have carried out a lot of research work on livestock and poultry parasites, including parasite species, modes of infection, transmission routes, control measures, development of new diagnostic techniques and control strategies, parasite genomics, and drug development.

Many international organizations and research institutions have carried out research work on livestock and poultry parasites, such as the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, hoping to protect livestock and poultry health and promote the development of the livestock and poultry industry through scientific research. Ace Therapeutics is a biotechnology company that actively explores the biology of livestock and poultry parasites and control methods in order to develop more effective prevention and control methods using modern biotechnology tools to safeguard livestock and poultry health and improve agricultural production.

Solution Options for Livestock Parasite Research

Ace Therapeutics offers a wide range of livestock parasite research solutions to help clients address livestock parasites that constrain yield and quality, including but not limited to the following:

• Research on the relationship between livestock parasite infections and livestock health

Parasitic infections are an important factor affecting livestock health. We can use PCR techniques, proteomics, and other molecular biology techniques to detect and identify different types of livestock parasites so that researchers can better understand the relationship between parasitic infections and livestock health.

• Research on livestock parasite control strategies

Control measures against livestock parasites are an important part of safeguarding livestock health. We can provide a variety of technical tools such as drug screening, in vivo and ex vivo efficacy evaluation, and drug resistance testing to help researchers develop effective parasite control strategies.

• Study of the interaction between livestock immune response and parasites

Livestock’s immune response is an important safeguard against parasite infestation. We can analyze the interaction between livestock immune response and parasites in-depth by various techniques such as flow cytometry, ELISA, and Western blot.

• Study of transmission routes of parasitic infections in livestock

Different types of livestock parasites have different transmission routes, so it is also important to understand their transmission routes. Technical tools such as gene sequencing and comparative genomics analysis can be used to help researchers understand the transmission routes of livestock parasite infections.

• Study of the mechanisms of drug resistance in livestock parasites

Drug resistance is a major challenge in the treatment of livestock parasites. We provide high-throughput sequencing-based transcriptomic and genomic analyses to help researchers delve into the mechanisms of resistance in livestock parasites. We also offer gene editing services based on CRISPR-Cas9 technology to help researchers delve into the function of relevant genes and pathways. These methods can help researchers gain insight into the mechanisms of drug resistance and provide the scientific basis for finding new treatments.

• Research on novel diagnostic and therapeutic methods for livestock parasites

In response to some of the challenges in the field of livestock parasites, such as inadequate early diagnosis and treatment, we can provide research on a variety of novel diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. For example, the development of efficient gene editing tools using CRISPR-Cas9 technology can be used to study the molecular mechanisms of parasitic infections and develop novel therapeutic approaches.

Ace Therapeutics offers a wide range of biotechnologies and advanced methods to help researchers gain insight into livestock parasites and their mechanisms of interaction with host immunity and to develop more effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. These technologies include but are not limited to PCR techniques, gene sequencing, comparative genomics analysis, proteomics, flow cytometry, ELISA, and Western blot, addressing issues such as parasite detection, drug screening, in vitro and ex vivo efficacy evaluation, drug resistance detection, immune response studies, transmission pathway analysis, gene editing.
