Pigs are not susceptible to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection but are a model for viral immunogenicity studies
(Wiley, 2020-10-02)
Conventional piglets were inoculated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through different routes, including intranasal, intratracheal, intramuscular and intravenous ones. ...
Cross-neutralization activity against SARS-CoV-2 is present in currently available intravenous immunoglobulins
(Future Medicine, 2020-09-09)
Background: Cross-reactivity against human coronaviruses with Flebogamma® DIF and Gamunex®-C, two available intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), has been reported. In this study, these IVIG were tested ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) population study in experimentally infected pigs developing PCV2-systemic disease or a subclinical infection
(Nature Research, 2020-10-20)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is a single stranded DNA virus with one of the highest mutation rates among DNA viruses. This ability allows it to generate a cloud of mutants constantly providing new ...
Commercial feed containing porcine plasma spiked with African swine fever virus is not infective in pigs when administered for 14 consecutive days
(Public Library of Science, 2020-07-22)
The objective of this study was to determine if commercially collected liquid porcine plasma contaminated with African swine fever virus (ASFV) and fed for 14 consecutive days would infect pigs. ...
Frequency of Detection and Phylogenetic Analysis of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Healthy Primiparous and Multiparous Sows and Their Mummified Fetuses and Stillborn
(MDPI, 2020-07-02)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been suggested as a putative causal agent of swine reproductive disease. A number of different studies have pointed out this association, but there is still a lack of ...
Biosafety steps in the manufacturing process of spray-dried plasma: a review with emphasis on the use of ultraviolet irradiation as a redundant biosafety procedure
(BMC, 2020-07-16)
Spray dried plasma (SDP) is a functional protein source obtained from blood of healthy animals, approved by the veterinary authorities from animals declared to be fit for slaughter for human consumption. ...
Use of the informational spectrum methodology for rapid biological analysis of the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV: prediction of potential receptor, natural reservoir, tropism and therapeutic/vaccine target [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]
(F1000Research, 2020-01-27)
A novel coronavirus recently identified in Wuhan, China (2019-nCoV) has
expanded the number of highly pathogenic coronaviruses affecting
humans. The 2019-nCoV represents a potential epidemic or ...
Detection and genotyping of Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‐2) and detection of Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) in sera from fattening pigs of different European countries
(Wiley, 2020-05-01)
PCV-2 is considered one of the most economically important viral agents in swine worldwide. Recently, PCV-3 has been found in pigs affected by different disorders and in healthy animals. The objective ...
Porcine Circovirus 2 Genotypes, Immunity and Vaccines: Multiple Genotypes but One Single Serotype
(MDPI, 2020-12-14)
Identified for the first time in the 1990s, Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) should not be considered an emerging virus anymore. Nevertheless, many aspects of its biology and epidemiology are still ...
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in a cat owned by a COVID-19−affected patient in Spain
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-09-18)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of COVID-19, is considered a zoonotic pathogen mainly transmitted human to human. Few reports indicate that pets may ...
