Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells
(BMC, 2012-11-16)
Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered
the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results ...
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11-12)
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are
scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ...
Risk of introduction of lumpy skin disease in France by the import of vectors in animal trucks
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-11)
The lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a dsDNA virus belonging to the Poxviridae family and the Capripoxvirus genus. Lumpy skin diseases (LSD) is a highly contagious transboundary disease in cattle ...
Comparative proteomic analysis reveals different responses in porcine lymph nodes to virulent and attenuated homologous African swine fever virus strains
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-12)
African swine fever (ASF) is a pathology of pigs against which there is no treatment or vaccine. Understanding the
equilibrium between innate and adaptive protective responses and immune pathology might ...
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 ...
Arbovirus surveillance: first dengue virus detection in local Aedes albopictus mosquitoes in Europe, Catalonia, Spain, 2015
(European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2018-11-22)
Dengue has emerged as the most important viral mosquito-borne disease globally. The current risk of dengue outbreaks in Europe appeared with the introduction of the vector Aedes albopictus mosquito in ...
Digestive microbiota is different in pigs receiving antimicrobials or a feed additive during the nursery period
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-25)
Antimicrobials have been used in a prophylactic way to decrease the incidence of digestive disorders during the piglet post-weaning period. Nowadays, it is urgent to reduce their consumption in livestock ...
Association between teat skin colonization and intramammary infection with Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus agalactiae in herds with automatic milking systems
(Elsevier, 2018-11-08)
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between teat skin colonization and intramammary infection (IMI) with Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus agalactiae at the quarter level ...
Culex flavivirus infection in a Culex pipiens mosquito colony and its effects on vector competence for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus
(BioMed Central, 2018-05-23)
Background
Rift Valley fever is a mosquito-borne zoonotic disease that affects domestic ruminants and humans. Culex flavivirus is an insect-specific flavivirus that naturally exists in field mosquito ...
Recombinant PrPSc shares structural features with brain-derived PrPSc: Insights from limited proteolysis
(Public Library of Science, 2018-01-31)
Very solid evidence suggests that the core of full length PrPSc is a 4-rung β-solenoid, and that individual PrPSc subunits stack to form amyloid fibers. We recently used limited proteolysis to map the ...
