Efficacy of multivalent recombinant herpesvirus of turkey vaccines against high pathogenicity avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and Newcastle disease viruses
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
Vaccines are an essential tool for the control of viral infections in domestic animals. We generated recombinant vector herpesvirus of turkeys (vHVT) vaccines expressing computationally optimized broadly ...
Food determines ephemerous and non-stable gut microbiome communities in juvenile wild and farmed Mediterranean fish
(Elsevier, 2023-05-16)
Novel insights were provided by contrasting the composition of wild and farmed fish gut microbiomes because the latter had essentially different environmental conditions from those in the wild. This was ...
Agonic Aspiration of Blood: Not Useful as an Animal-Based Indicator of Electrical Stunning Ineffectiveness in Pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus)
(MDPI, 2023-07-13)
Agonic aspiration of blood (AAB) may result from an inadequate exsanguination with accidental trachea severing, that can be favoured by ineffective stunning of pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus). This study ...
Vaccination against swine influenza in pigs causes different drift evolutionary patterns upon swine influenza virus experimental infection and reduces the likelihood of genomic reassortments
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03-13)
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) can infect a wide variety of bird and mammal species. Their genome is characterized by 8 RNA single stranded segments. The low proofreading activity of their polymerases and ...
The emergence and diversification of a zoonotic pathogen from within the microbiota of intensively farmed pigs
(National Academy of Sciences, 2023-11-14)
The expansion and intensification of livestock production is predicted to promote the
emergence of pathogens. As pathogens sometimes jump between species, this can affect
the health of humans as well ...
Evaluation of Toxicity Equivalency Factors of Tetrodotoxin Analogues with a Neuro-2a Cell-Based Assay and Application to Puffer Fish from Greece
(MDPI, 2023-07-29)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin involved in poisoning cases, especially through the consumption of puffer fish. Knowledge of the toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs) of TTX analogues is ...
Detection and genetic characterization of enteric viruses in diarrhoea outbreaks from swine farms in Spain
(BioMed Central, 2023-06-22)
Background The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and distribution of Porcine astrovirus (PAstV), Porcine
kobuvirus (PKoV), Porcine torovirus (PToV), Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV) and Porcine ...
Schlafen 12 restricts HIV-1 latency reversal by a codon-usage dependent post-transcriptional block in CD4+ T cells
(Nature Research, 2023-05-10)
Latency is a major barrier towards virus elimination in HIV-1-infected individuals. Yet, the mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of HIV-1 latency are incompletely understood. Here we describe ...
Dynamics of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in two wild ungulate hosts during a disease-induced population collapse
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
Identifying the role that host species play in pathogen transmission and maintenance is crucial for disease
control, but it is a difficult task, in particular for vector-borne and multi-host pathogens, ...
Modelling the effect of prebiotics, probiotics and other functional additives on the growth, feed intake and feed conversion of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2023-09-14)
Dietary supplementation of aquafeeds with functional additives is a commonly employed strategy in order to
reduce the potential negative effects associated to fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) replacement ...
