Zika vector competence data reveals risks of outbreaks: the contribution of the European ZIKAlliance project
(Nature Research, 2022-08-02)
First identified in 1947, Zika virus took roughly 70 years to cause a pandemic unusually associated with virus-induced brain damage in newborns. Zika virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, mainly Aedes ...
Chicken liver is a potential reservoir of bacteriophages and phage-derived particles containing antibiotic resistance genes
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-04-29)
Poultry meat production is one of the most important agri-food industries in the world. The selective pressure exerted by widespread prophylactic or therapeutic use of antibiotics in intensive chicken ...
Identification of microRNAs in PCV2 subclinically infected pigs by high throughput sequencing
(BMC, 2015-03-03)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential etiological infectious agent of PCV2-systemic disease and has been associated with other swine diseases, all of them collectively known as porcine ...
Efficacy of Two Licensed Avian Influenza H5 Vaccines Against Challenge with a 2015 U.S. H5N2 clade 2.3.4.4 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in Domestic Ducks
(American Association of Avian Pathologists, 2018-08-06)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4 viruses from the H5 goose/Guangdong lineage caused a major outbreak in poultry in the United States in 2015. Although the outbreak was controlled, ...
Identification of African Swine Fever Virus Transcription within Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells of Acutely Infected Pigs
(MDPI, 2021-11-22)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) has become widespread in Europe, Asia and elsewhere, thereby causing extensive economic losses. The viral genome includes nearly 200 genes, but their expression within ...
Infectious phage particles packaging antibiotic resistance genes found in meat products and chicken feces
(Nature Research, 2019-09-16)
Bacteriophages can package part of their host's genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), contributing to a rapid dissemination of resistances among bacteria. Phage particles ...
Examining the cooperativity mode of antibody and CD8+ T cell immune responses for vaccinology
(Elsevier, 2021-09-21)
A fundamental unsolved issue in vaccine design is how neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells cooperate numerically in controlling virus infections. We hypothesize on a viewpoint for the ...
Long-term efficacy of BCG vaccination in goat herds with a high prevalence of tuberculosis
(Nature Research, 2020-11-23)
Vaccination of goats against tuberculosis (TB) has been promoted as an ancillary tool for controlling the disease in infected livestock herds. A three-year trial to assess the efficacy of BCG vaccine ...
Infectious diseases of interest for the conservation of peccaries in the Amazon: A systematic quantitative review
(Elsevier, 2022-12-23)
Infectious diseases are increasingly emerging and spreading globally, ending up being considered a threat to biodiversity. In the Amazon region, repeated disappearance episodes of local populations of ...
Intensive antibiotic treatment of sows with parenteral crystalline ceftiofur and tulathromycin alters the composition of the nasal microbiota of their ofspring
(BMC, 2023-11-24)
The nasal microbiota plays an important role in animal health and the use of antibiotics is a major factor that infu‑
ences its composition. Here, we studied the consequences of an intensive antibiotic ...
