Abstract

Graphical Abstract Highlight Research The study aims to develop a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) against A. hydrophila by targeting the aerolysin toxin, a key virulence factor responsible for infections in fish and humans. Computational methods identified and optimized B-cell and T-cell epitopes, focusing on their ability to trigger immune responses without causing toxicity or allergenicity. In silico simulations demonstrated that the MEV has a strong binding affinity to immune receptors like TLR-4, MHC-I, and MHC-II, indicating its potential to induce robust cellular and humoral immunity. Structural analysis of the MEV showed a stable 3D conformation, with most residues in favorable regions, ensuring stability during immune activation. The MEV could enhance disease control in aquaculture and reduce human infection risks, offering a promising solution to address antibiotic resistance and the absence of effective vaccines. Abstract Aeromonas hydrophila, gram-negative, is a major pathogen responsible for various diseases in mammals, reptiles, amphibia, and vertebrates, including fish and humans. Targeting the specific toxin aerolysin in A. hydrophila is crucial to address antibiotic resistance and the lack of adequate and protective vaccines against this intracellular pathogen. This study aimed to identify a multi-epitope vaccination (MEV) candidate targeting A. hydrophila aerolysin toxin to combat the disease effectively. Standard biochemical characterization methods and sequencing of the 16S rRNA, rpoB, and aerA genes identified the isolate AHSA1 as A. hydrophila. Subsequently, we identified B and T cell epitopes on the aerolysin protein and separately predicted MHC-I and MHC-II epitopes. The epitopes are then evaluated for toxicity, antigenicity, allergenicity, and solubility. The vaccine design integrated multi-epitope-based constructs, utilizing specialized linkers (GPGPG) and EAAAK linkers to connect epitope peptides with adjuvants in the cholera toxin B component, thereby enhancing immunogenicity. Ramachandran plots showed that 85.25% of the residues were located in the most favorable regions, which was followed by the generously allowed zone (1.30%), the additional allowed regions (10.80%), and the forbidden regions (2.65%), thus confirming the feasibility of the modeled vaccine design. Based on docking simulations, MEV had the highest binding and interaction energies with TLR-4, TLR-9, MHC-I, and MHC-II (-1081.4, -723.2, 866.2, -9043.3 kcal/mol). Based on computational modelling, we expect the Aerolysin MEV candidate design to activate diverse immune mechanisms, stimulate robust responses against A. hydrophila, and maintain safety. The significant solubility, absence of toxicity or allergic response, and minimal side effects in animal testing all contribute to the potential clinical utility of this vaccine candidate.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of mucos acidity of vaginal mucous when estrus towards conception rate at KUD Tani Wilis Tulungagung District and KSU Tunas Setia Baru Pasuruan District. Measured samples were taken from 30 dairy cattles in each KUD. Mucos acidity of vaginal mucous were obtained by using a digital acidity meter before insemination was done on dairy cattle. After measuring the acidity from mucosal vagina mucous, artificial insemination has done on estrus dairy cattle. On the 60th day after insemination, rectal palpation was done to check the conception rate. Research result from 30 dairy cattle on each KUD showed that mucos acidity of vaginal mucous has signifficant effect towards conception rate. Mucos acidity of vaginal mucous range 6.5-8.5 with the highest range of conception rate in KSU Tunas Setia Baru Pasuruan District 7.5-7.7 and in KUD Tani Wilis Tulungagung District with the highest range of conception range 7.2-7.4 and 7.5-7.7.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of supplementing mineral mix and concentrate booster on the fertility of cows recovering from foot-and-mouth disease (FMD). Eighteen post-FMD cows were assigned to three treatment groups. Cows in the T0 group received a standard feed consisting of elephant grass and a local concentrate. In the T1 group, cows were provided the standard feed supplemented with 40 g/day of mineral mix, while cows in the T2 group received the standard feed supplemented with 600 g/day of concentrate booster. The feeding treatments were applied for 42 days, and fresh drinking water was provided ad libitum. The results showed that the onset of estrus occurred significantly earlier (p <0.05) compared to the anestrus period experienced during FMD infection. Both supplemented groups exhibited higher (p <0.05) estrus rates, pregnancy rates, and calving rates than the T0 group. The interval between the last estrus and the initiation of additional feeding was considerably longer than the onset of estrus observed after treatment. The pH and ferning scores of cervical mucus in cows from the T0 group were lower than those in the T1 and T2 groups. However, no significant differences (p >0.05) were found in cervical mucus pH or ferning scores between the T1 and T2 groups, between pregnant and non-pregnant cows, or between offspring sex categories. In conclusion, supplementation with either a mineral mix or a concentrate booster improved fertility parameter, including estrus rate, pregnancy rate, and calving rate, in cows recovering from FMD.

Abstract

Graphical Abstract  Highlight Research Adjuvanted polyvalent FKC elicited the strongest and most sustained multi-arm immune response in Osphronemus goramy compared with monovalent and non-adjuvanted vaccines. The lead formulation combined high agglutinating antibody titres with enhanced NBT respiratory burst, indicating synergistic humoral–innate activation against Aeromonas hydrophila. Polyvalent vaccines did not dilute immunogenicity; instead, strain combination plus adjuvant broadened and amplified immune responsiveness. Longitudinal profiling of il-1β and ifn-γ revealed a stable pro-inflammatory/Th1-like cytokine signature uniquely associated with the adjuvanted polyvalent FKC. The integrated immunological “fingerprint” supports the adjuvanted polyvalent FKC as a rational lead candidate for motile Aeromonas septicaemia control in warm-water gourami aquaculture.   Abstract Bacterial septicaemia caused by Aeromonas hydrophila is an important constraint for giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) culture in Southeast Asia. Inactivated whole-cell (bacterin) vaccines are widely used against bacterial diseases in aquaculture, but comparative data on monovalent versus polyvalent A. hydrophila vaccines, with and without oil-based adjuvant, remain scarce for this species. This study evaluated the safety, immunological responses, and protective efficacy of three formalin-killed cell (FKC) vaccines prepared from gourami-derived A. hydrophila isolates: a monovalent FKC (P2), a non-adjuvanted polyvalent FKC (P3), and an oil-adjuvanted polyvalent FKC (P4), using PBS (P1) as a control. Sub-adult giant gourami were vaccinated intraperitoneally and monitored for 42 days. Serum agglutinating antibody titres, nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT)-reducing activity, and splenic il-1β and ifn-γ mRNA expression were measured at multiple time points. At 21 days post-vaccination, a separate cohort was challenged intraperitoneally with virulent A. hydrophila Ah-S1, and survival was recorded for 14 days; relative percent survival (RPS) was calculated at day 14. All FKC formulations were clinically well tolerated, with only transient post-vaccination inappetence and no gross injection-site pathology. Vaccination induced clear, treatment- and time-dependent increases in agglutinating antibody titres, NBT-reducing activity, and splenic il-1β and ifn-γ transcription, with the strongest and most sustained responses in P4, intermediate responses in P3 and P2, and minimal changes in P1. Following homologous challenge, day-14 survival was 8.3% in P1, 61.7% in P2, 75.0% in P3, and 83.3% in P4, with corresponding RPS values of 58.2%, 72.7%, and 81.8%, respectively. Under these experimental conditions, the oil-adjuvanted polyvalent FKC (P4) produced the greatest enhancement of immune responses and protection against intraperitoneal A. hydrophila challenge in giant gourami. These findings support this formulation as a candidate for further vaccine development in O. goramy and highlight the need for dose optimisation, safety assessment, heterologous challenge, and field-validation studies before recommendations for large-scale use in aquaculture.
