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, ...
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 ...
Global monitoring of antimicrobial resistance based on metagenomics analyses of urban sewage
(Nature Research, 2019-03-08)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious threat to global public health, but obtaining representative data on AMR for healthy human populations is difficult. Here, we use metagenomic analysis of ...
Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(Public Library of Science, 2013-03-04)
Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ...
Exploring the Surveillance Potential of Mortality Data: Nine Years of Bovine Fallen Stock Data Collected in Catalonia (Spain)
(Public Library of Science, 2015-04-15)
The potential of fallen stock data to monitor the health status of animal populations has been noted in previous studies. However, further research is required to implement these systems for surveillance. ...
Temporal dynamics of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in the Arabian Peninsula, 2012-2017
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-10-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) remains a notable disease and poses a significant threat to global public health. The Arabian Peninsula is considered a major global epicentre for ...
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC, 2019-07-15)
Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ...
The Cipher Code of Simple Sequence Repeats in “Vampire Pathogens”
(Nature Research, 2015-07-28)
Blood inside mammals is a forbidden area for the majority of prokaryotic microbes; however, red blood cells tropism microbes, like “vampire pathogens” (VP), succeed in matching scarce nutrients and ...
Dairy farmers’ decision‐making to implement biosecurity measures: A study of psychosocial factors
(Wiley, 2019-10-10)
Biosecurity measures are a set of management procedures that prevent the risk of introducing and spreading infectious diseases to a farm, although these measures are rarely implemented in dairy farms. ...
