Feeding Spray-Dried Porcine Plasma to Pigs Improves the Protection Afforded by the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) BA71∆CD2 Vaccine Prototype against Experimental Challenge with the Pandemic ASFV—Study 2
(MDPI, 2023-04-10)
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of feeding spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) on the protection afforded by the BA71∆CD2 African swine fever virus (ASFV) vaccine prototype. Two groups of pigs ...
Mycobacterium manresensis induces trained immunity in vitro
(Cell Press, 2023-05-13)
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a global health crisis, with new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants weakening vaccine-driven protection. Trained immunity could help tackle ...
Reappraising the use of forearm rings for bat species
(Elsevier, 2023-09-10)
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across
Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings for this purpose. Although it ...
Native and invasive bird interactions increase the spread of Newcastle disease in urban environments
(Springer, 2023-12-11)
Due to their large population sizes, synanthropic birds, including native and invasive species, can transmit pathogens to other vertebrates, and even humans. In particular, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ...
Foodborne Pathogens at the Livestock–Wildlife–Human Interface in Rural Western Uganda
(Springer, 2023-06-01)
Foodborne pathogens are an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. To assess the presence of Salmonella, Campylobacter and Arcobacter spp. in livestock, wildlife, and humans from different ...
XCR1+ DCs are critical for T cell-mediated immunotherapy of chronic viral infections
(Cell Press, 2023-02-14)
The contribution of cross-presenting XCR1+ dendritic cells (DCs) and SIRPα+ DCs in maintaining T cell function during exhaustion and immunotherapeutic interventions of chronic infections remains poorly ...
The economic impact of endemic respiratory disease in pigs and related interventions - a systematic review
(BMC, 2023-10-17)
Background Understanding the financial consequences of endemically prevalent pathogens within the porcine
respiratory disease complex (PRDC) and the effects of interventions assists decision-making ...
Immune responses following neonatal vaccination with conserved F4 fragment of VtaA proteins from virulent Glaesserella parasuis adjuvanted with CAF®01 or CDA
(Elsevier, 2023-06-10)
Glaesserella parasuis is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the upper airways of swine, capable of causing a systemic infection called Glässer’s disease. This disease is more frequent in young ...
Experimental Inoculation of Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Pregnant Gilts Causes PCV-3-Associated Lesions in Newborn Piglets that Persist until Weaning
(Wiley, 2023-10-20)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been detected in cases of reproductive failure but the pathogenesis of such infection is poorly
understood. So far, experimental PCV-3 inoculations have been performed ...
Differential kinetics of splenic CD169+ macrophage death is one underlying cause of virus infection fate regulation
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
Acute infection and chronic infection are the two most common fates of pathogenic virus infections. While several factors that
contribute to these fates are described, the critical control points and ...
