Postnatal Persistent Infection with Classical Swine Fever Virus and Its Immunological Implications
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05-04)
It is well established that trans-placental transmission of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) during mid-gestation can lead to persistently infected offspring. The aim of the present study was to ...
Description of the first Schmallenberg disease outbreak in Spain and subsequent virus spreading in domestic ruminants
(Elsevier, 2019-06-10)
Schmallenberg disease (SBD) is an emerging disease transmitted mainly among ruminant species by biting midges of the genus Culicoides. Since the Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was first identified in Germany ...
Neutralizing antibodies against porcine circovirus type 2 in liquid pooled plasma contribute to the biosafety of commercially manufactured spray-dried porcine plasma
(Oxford University Press, 2013-05-01)
Neutralizing antibodies (NA) inherently present in pooled plasma collected at commercial abattoirs may provide some protection against potential porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infectivity of plasma. ...
Evaluation of the capability of the PCV2 genome to encode miRNAs: lack of viral miRNA expression in an experimental infection
(BMC, 2015-05-01)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a ssDNA virus causing PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), one of the most important diseases in swine. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small non-coding RNAs that ...
Characterization of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strains in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs from Spanish slaughterhouses
(Elsevier, 2019-02-20)
This study aimed to describe Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) genetic variability in vaccinated (V) and non-vaccinated (NV) slaughtered pigs showing cranio-ventral pulmonary consolidation ...
Efficacy of a live attenuated vaccine in classical swine fever virus postnatally persistently infected pigs
(BMC, 2015-07-09)
Classical swine fever (CSF) causes major losses in pig farming, with various degrees of disease severity. Efficient live attenuated vaccines against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) are used routinely ...
Usefulness of Eurasian Magpies (Pica pica) for West Nile virus Surveillance in Non-Endemic and Endemic Situations
(MDPI, 2019-08-05)
In September 2017, passive surveillance allowed the detection of West Nile virus (WNV)
lineage 2 for the first time in northern Spain in a northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis). However,
a cross ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) genotype update and proposal of a new genotyping methodology
(Public Library of Science, 2018-12-06)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is one of the most widespread viral infections of swine, causing a remarkable economic impact because of direct losses and indirect costs for its control. As other ssDNA ...
High levels of unreported intraspecific diversity among RNA viruses in faeces of neonatal piglets with diarrhoea
(BMC, 2019-12-05)
BACKGROUND:
Diarrhoea is a major cause of death in neonate pigs and most of the viruses that cause it are RNA viruses. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) deeply characterize the genetic diversity among ...
Clinical response to pandemic h1n1 influenza virus from a fatal and mild case in ferrets
(BMC, 2015-03-26)
Background: The majority of pandemic 2009 H1N1 (A(H1N1)pdm09) influenza virus (IV) caused mild symptoms in most infected patients, however, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young ...
