Functional inclusion bodies produced in the yeast Pichia pastoris
(BMC, 2016-10-01)
Background: Bacterial inclusion bodies (IBs) are non‑toxic protein aggregates commonly produced in recombinant bacteria. They are formed by a mixture of highly stable amyloid‑like fibrils and releasable ...
Complex Particulate Biomaterials as Immunostimulant-Delivery Platforms
(Public Library of Science, 2016-10-07)
The control of infectious diseases is a major current challenge in intensive aquaculture. Most commercial vaccines are based on live attenuated or inactivated pathogens that are usually combined with ...
No transmission of hepatitis E virus in pigs fed diets containing commercial spray-dried porcine plasma: a retrospective study of samples from several swine trials
(BMC, 2014-12-24)
Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) has been reported in the human population and pigs are a recognized reservoir for HEV and a possible source of HEV transmission to humans. Spray-dried porcine plasma ...
Does the location of enrichment material affect behavior and dirtiness in growing female pigs?
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03-15)
The objective of this study was to investigate if female growing pigs spend similar amounts of time exploring a wooden stick as they do exploring enrichment material regardless of its proximity to the ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-09-02)
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
Longitudinal analysis of direct and indirect effects on average daily gain in rabbits using a structured antedependence model
(BMC, 2018-05-10)
Background: Indirect genetic efects (IGE) are important components of various traits in several species. Although
the intensity of social interactions between partners likely vary over time, very few ...
The Use of a DNA-Intercalating Dye for Quantitative Detection of Viable Arcobacter spp. Cells (v-qPCR) in Shellfish
(Frontiers, 2019-02-28)
The genus Arcobacter (Vandamme et al., 1991), comprised of Campylobacter-related species, are considered zoonotic emergent pathogens. The presence of Arcobacter in food products like shellfish, has an ...
A Description of Biremis panamae sp. nov., a New Diatom Species from the Marine Littoral, with an Account of the Phylogenetic Position of Biremis D.G. Mann et E.J. Cox (Bacillariophyceae)
(Public Library of Science, 2014-12-10)
Here we present a formal description of Biremis panamae Barka, Witkowski et Weisenborn sp. nov., which was isolated from the marine littoral environment of the Pacific Ocean coast of Panama. The description ...
Identification of an Immunosuppressive Cell Population during Classical Swine Fever Virus Infection and Its Role in Viral Persistence in the Host
(MDPI, 2019-09-04)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains a highly important pathogen, causing major
losses in the swine industry. Persistent infection is highly relevant for CSFV maintenance in the field;
however, ...
Effects of partially saturated conditions on the metabolically active microbiome and on nitrogen removal in vertical subsurface flow constructed wetlands
(Elsevier, 2018-05-08)
Nitrogen dynamics and its association to metabolically active microbial populations were assessed in two vertical subsurface vertical flow (VF) wetlands treating urban wastewater. These VF wetlands were ...
