Repurposing bioenergetic modulators against protozoan parasites responsible for tropical diseases
(Elsevier, 2020-07-22)
Malaria, leishmaniasis and trypanosomiasis are arthropod-borne, parasitic diseases that constitute a major global health problem. They are generally found in developing countries, where lack of access ...
Comparison of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and porcine circovirus 2 commercial vaccines efficacy when applied separate or combined under experimental conditions
(BMC, 2020-05-04)
Background
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (Mhyo) and Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) are two of the most significant infectious agents causing economic losses in the weaning to slaughter period. Due to their ...
Development of a new loop-mediated isothermal amplification test for the sensitive, rapid, and economic detection of different genotypes of Classical swine fever virus
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-15)
Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains one of the most
important pathogens in animal health. Pathogen detection relies on viral RNA
extraction followed by RT-qPCR. Novel technologies ...
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 ...
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. ...
Eurasian griffon vultures carry widespread antimicrobial resistant Salmonella and Campylobacter of public health concern
(Elsevier, 2022-07-06)
The global emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains of Salmonella and Campylobacter is a serious public health concern. Both bacteria are leading causes of human gastrointestinal foodborne ...
Swine Dendritic Cell Response to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus: An Update
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-28)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, unique to initiate and coordinate the adaptive immune response. In pigs, conventional DCs (cDCs), plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), and ...
Identification of Promiscuous African Swine Fever Virus T-Cell Determinants Using a Multiple Technical Approach
(MDPI, 2021-01-07)
The development of subunit vaccines against African swine fever (ASF) is mainly hindered by the lack of knowledge regarding the specific ASF virus (ASFV) antigens involved in protection. As a good ...
First Report of Streptococcus ruminantium in Wildlife: Phenotypic Differences with a Spanish Domestic Ruminant Isolate
(MDPI, 2022-02-08)
Streptococcus ruminantium is a recent reclassification of the former Streptococcus suis serovar 33. Although knowledge about S. suis is extensive, information on S. ruminantium host range and pathogenic ...
A cross-specific multiplicative binomial recursive model for the analysis of perinatal mortality in a diallel cross among three varieties of Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-12-03)
Perinatal piglet mortality is an important factor in pig production from economic and animal welfare
perspectives; however, the statistical analysis of mortality is difcult because of its categorical ...
