Enhanced antiviral immunity and dampened inflammation in llama lymph nodes upon MERS-CoV sensing: bridging innate and adaptive cellular immune responses in camelid reservoirs
(Frontiers Media, 2023-06-14)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection can cause fatal pulmonary inflammatory disease in humans. Contrarily, camelids and bats are the main reservoir hosts, tolerant for ...
Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023-02-07)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended ...
Quantification of camelid cytokine mRNA expression in PBMCs by microfluidic qPCR technology
(Elsevier, 2023-09-17)
Camelids are economically and socially important in several parts of the world and might carry pathogens with
epizootic or zoonotic potential. However, biological research in these species is limited ...
Evaluation of alpaca tracheal explants as an ex vivo model for the study of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection
(BMC, 2022-09-02)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) poses a serious threat to public health. Here, we established an ex vivo alpaca tracheal explant (ATE) model using an air-liquid interface culture ...
