First identification and characterization of rotavirus H in swine in Spain
(Wiley, 2021-01-15)
Rotaviruses (RVs) are classified into nine species or groups (RVA-RVD and RVF-RVJ). RVA, RVB and RVC are well-recognized as etiological agents of enteric disease on swine farms and have been identified ...
Increasing breast milk betaine modulates Akkermansia abundance in mammalian neonates and improves long-term metabolic health
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03-31)
Accelerated postnatal growth is a potentially modifiable risk factor for future obesity. To study how specific breast milk components contribute to early growth and obesity risk, we quantified one-carbon ...
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 ...
Monitoring of bluetongue virus in zoo animals in Spain, 2007–2019
(Wiley, 2021-05-08)
Bluetongue (BT) is an emerging and re-emerging communicable vector-borne disease of animal health concern. A serosurvey was performed to assess exposure to BT virus (BTV) in zoo animals in Spain and to ...
Evaluation of the sensitivity of the classical swine fever surveillance system in two free zones in Colombia
(Wiley, 2021-04-01)
Infection with the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) causes a disease in pigs that ranges from a hyperacute form in which animals die in a few hours to subclinical disease. Due to this wide range of ...
Most likely causes of infection and risk factors for tuberculosis in Spanish cattle herds
(Wiley, 2021-02-10)
Introduction: This study aims to assess the most likely causes of Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) breakdowns in Spanish cattle herds and to identify the main risk factors at farm‐level. Methods: Causes of bTB ...
Assessment of three commercial ELISAs for the detection of antibodies against Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus at different stages of the immune response
(Elsevier, 2021-02-12)
Three commercial ELISAs -two based on spike (E1 and E3) and one on nucleocapsid protein (E2)-were used to analyze the development and persistence of antibodies against Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus ...
The new emerging ovine pestivirus can infect pigs and confers strong protection against classical swine fever virus
(Wiley, 2021-04-25)
Several emerging pestiviruses have been reported lately, some of which have proved to cause disease. Recently, a new ovine pestivirus (OVPV), isolated from aborted lambs, with high genetic identity to ...
Influence on the implementation of biosecurity measures in dairy cattle farms: Communication between veterinarians and dairy farmers
(Elsevier, 2021-03-18)
This study was carried out in two regions in Spain (Catalonia and Galicia) through eight focus groups; four for dairy farmers and four for veterinarians. The results showed that dairy farmers and ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
