Infectious phage particles packaging antibiotic resistance genes found in meat products and chicken feces
(Nature Research, 2019-09-16)
Bacteriophages can package part of their host's genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), contributing to a rapid dissemination of resistances among bacteria. Phage particles ...
Indel detection from Whole Genome Sequencing data and association with lipid metabolism in pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-06-27)
The selection in commercial swine breeds for meat-production efficiency has been increasing among the past decades, reducing the intramuscular fat content, which has changed the sensorial and technological ...
High levels of unreported intraspecific diversity among RNA viruses in faeces of neonatal piglets with diarrhoea
(BMC, 2019-12-05)
BACKGROUND:
Diarrhoea is a major cause of death in neonate pigs and most of the viruses that cause it are RNA viruses. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) deeply characterize the genetic diversity among ...
Analysing the Expression of Eight Clock Genes in Five Tissues From Fasting and Fed Sows
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-18)
In a previous study, we observed that circadian clock genes are differentially expressed
in the skeletal muscle of fasting and fed sows. The goal of the current work was
to investigate if these genes ...
DNA vaccine based on conserved HA-peptides induces strong immune response and rapidly clears influenza virus infection from vaccinated pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-25)
Swine influenza virus (SIVs) infections cause a significant economic impact to the pork industry.
Moreover, pigs may act as mixing vessel favoring genome reassortment of diverse influenza
viruses. ...
Experimental study of the susceptibility of a European Aedes albopictus strain to dengue virus under a simulated Mediterranean temperature regime
(Wiley, 2018-07-27)
Dengue virus (DENV) has re‐emerged in Europe driven by the geographic expansion of the mosquito species Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and the introduction of the virus by ...
Efficacy of parenteral vaccination against tuberculosis with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis in experimentally challenged goats
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09)
Tuberculosis (TB) in animals is a re-emerging disease with a wide range of hosts that
causes large economic losses in livestock. Goats are particularly susceptible to TB and, in
endemic areas, vaccination ...
Assessing the variability in transmission of bovine tuberculosis within Spanish cattle herds
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
In Spain, despite years of efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis (bTB), the disease is still endemic, with some
areas of high prevalence. In this context, the surveillance and control plans may need ...
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC, 2019-07-15)
Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ...
Changes in the rumen and colon microbiota and effects of live yeast dietary supplementation during the transition from the dry period to lactation of dairy cows
(Elsevier, 2019-05-02)
The first objective of this study was to evaluate the dynamics and their potential association with animal performance of the microbiota in both the rumen and colon of dairy cows as they move from a ...
