Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European local pig breeds assessed with a high density SNP chip
(Nature Research, 2019-09-19)
Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity ...
Serological and molecular surveys of influenza A viruses in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic wild birds
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-12-03)
To evaluate how avian influenza virus (AIV) circulates among the avifauna of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands, we surveyed 14 species of birds from Marion, Livingston and Gough islands. A competitive ...
Effect of preemptive flunixin meglumine and lidocaine on behavioral and physiological indicators of pain post-band and knife castration in 6-mo-old beef calves
(Elsevier, 2019-10-19)
One hundred and seventy-four Angus bull calves (248 ± 27.1 kg of body weight (BW), 6-mo-old) were used in a 71 d study to assess the efficacy of the combination of flunixin meglumine and lidocaine in ...
Contamination of pig carcass with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium monophasic variant 1,4[5],12:i:- originates mainly in live animals
(Elsevier, 2019-11-03)
Pork is considered a major source of Salmonella Typhimurium infection in humans in the EU, including monophasic strains (mST). Widespread distribution of virulent serotypes such as monophasic variants ...
Association between the pig genome and its gut microbiota composition
(Nature Research, 2019-06-19)
The gut microbiota has been evolving with its host along the time creating a symbiotic relationship. In this study, we assess the role of the host genome in the modulation of the microbiota composition ...
High prevalence and diversity of extended-spectrum β-lactamase and emergence of OXA-48 producing Enterobacterales in wildlife in Catalonia
(Public Library of Science, 2019-08-05)
Most of the studies focused on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) performed in wildlife describe
Escherichia coli as the principal indicator of the selective pressure. In the present study, several species ...
Salmonella Infection in Mesenteric Lymph Nodes of Breeding Sows
(Mary Ann Liebert, 2019-12-06)
Salmonellosis is one of the main foodborne diseases worldwide. Breeding sows asymptomatically infected with Salmonella can transmit the pathogen to piglets and humans. The isolation of Salmonella from ...
