Emergence and spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) in Europe in 2016‐2017
(Wiley, 2018-03-14)
Circulation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses poses a continuousthreat to animal and public health. After the 2005–2006 H5N1 and the 2014–2015H5N8 epidemics, another H5N8 is currently ...
Efficacy of parenteral vaccination against tuberculosis with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis in experimentally challenged goats
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09)
Tuberculosis (TB) in animals is a re-emerging disease with a wide range of hosts that
causes large economic losses in livestock. Goats are particularly susceptible to TB and, in
endemic areas, vaccination ...
West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne viruses present in Eastern Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-06)
Eastern Europe (EE) has been severely affected by mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses). In
this review, we summarize the epidemiology of moboviruses, with particular attention to
West Nile virus (WNV). ...
Analysis of the genetic diversity and mRNA expression level in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus vaccinated pigs that developed short or long viremias after challenge
(BioMed Central, 2018-02-15)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) infection alters the host’s cellular and humoral immune
response. Immunity against PRRSv is multigenic and vary between individuals. The aim ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) genetic variability under natural infection scenario reveals a complex network of viral quasispecies
(Nature Research, 2018-10-19)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is a virus characterized by a high evolutionary rate, promoting the potential
emergence of diferent genotypes and strains. Despite the likely relevance in the emergence of ...
Multi-Target Strategy for Pan/Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Detection: A Combination of Sequences Analysis, in Silico Predictions and Laboratory Diagnostic Evaluation
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07-12)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals that causes severe economic losses. The disease is characterized by a vesicular condition and it cannot ...
Retrospective detection of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in pig serum samples from Spain
(Wiley, 2018-04-14)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) is an emerging circovirus species that has recently been reported in different countries around the world, suggesting a widespread circulation. In this study, sera samples ...
Comparative proteomic analysis reveals different responses in porcine lymph nodes to virulent and attenuated homologous African swine fever virus strains
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-12)
African swine fever (ASF) is a pathology of pigs against which there is no treatment or vaccine. Understanding the
equilibrium between innate and adaptive protective responses and immune pathology might ...
Recombinant PrPSc shares structural features with brain-derived PrPSc: Insights from limited proteolysis
(Public Library of Science, 2018-01-31)
Very solid evidence suggests that the core of full length PrPSc is a 4-rung β-solenoid, and that individual PrPSc subunits stack to form amyloid fibers. We recently used limited proteolysis to map the ...
African swine fever virus does not express viral microRNAs in experimentally infected pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-03)
Background: African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the etiological agent of African swine fever (ASF), a re-expanding
devastating and highly lethal hemorrhagic viral disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a new ...
