Monitoring Natural SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Lions (Panthera leo) at the Barcelona Zoo: Viral Dynamics and Host Responses
(MDPI, 2021-08-25)
To date, no evidence supports the fact that animals play a role in the epidemiology of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the coronavirus infectious ...
The value of gut microbiota to predict feed efficiency and growth of rabbits under different feeding regimes
(Nature Research, 2021-09-30)
Gut microbiota plays an important role in nutrient absorption and could impact rabbit feed efciency.
This study aims at investigating such impact by evaluating the value added by microbial information
for ...
Transmission of Similar Mcr-1 Carrying Plasmids among Different Escherichia coli Lineages Isolated from Livestock and the Farmer
(MDPI, 2021-03-17)
Colistin use has mostly been stopped in human medicine, due to its toxicity. However, nowadays, it still is used as a last-resort antibiotic to treat hospital infections caused by multi-drug resistant ...
Foraging in the Anthropocene: Feeding plasticity of an opportunistic predator revealed by long term monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021-07-08)
For centuries, human activities have altered the population dynamics of wildlife. New anthropogenic food sources provide a predictable and abundant food supply that often induces very significant ...
Identification of Single Amino Acid Changes in the Rift Valley Fever Virus Polymerase Core Domain Contributing to Virus Attenuation In Vivo
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-28)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arboviral zoonotic disease affecting many African countries with
the potential to spread to other geographical areas. RVF affects sheep, goats, cattle and
camels, causing ...
Exploring the Antiviral Potential of Natural Compounds against Influenza: A Combined Computational and Experimental Approach
(MDPI, 2024-04-30)
The influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), which is crucial for viral replication
and immune evasion, has been identified as a significant drug target with substantial potential to
contribute ...
Closing nutrient loops in a maize rotation. Catch crops to reduce nutrient leaching and increase biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion with dairy manure
(Elsevier, 2021-04-18)
Three catch crop species, ryegrass, forage rape and black oat, were grown between successive rotations of maize to reduce nitrogen leaching due to maize fertilization with digested dairy manure. Catch ...
Senecavirus A seroprevalence and risk factors in United States pig farms
(Frontiers Media, 2022-10-20)
Senecavirus A (SVA) is a non-enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA
virus belonging to the Picornaviridae family. Senecavirus A is constantly
associated with outbreaks of vesicular disease in ...
Variations in association of nasal microbiota with virulent and non-virulent strains of Glaesserella (Haemophilus) parasuis in weaning piglets
(BMC, 2020-02-03)
Glaesserella (formerly Haemophilus) parasuis causes Glässer's disease, which results in high economic loss in the swine industry. To understand the polymicrobial interactions of G. parasuis and the nasal ...
Experimental and field investigations of exposure, replication and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in pigs in the Netherlands
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-12-21)
In order to assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, transmission and reservoir development in swine, we combined results of an experimental and two observational studies. First, intranasal and intratracheal ...
