Maternal Transmission Ratio Distortion in Two Iberian Pig Varieties
(MDPI, 2020-09-05)
Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) is defined as the allele transmission deviation from the heterozygous parent to the offspring from the expected Mendelian genotypic frequencies. Although TRD can be ...
Toxoplasma gondii in a Remote Subsistence Hunting-Based Indigenous Community of the Peruvian Amazon
(MDPI, 2024-04-26)
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects a wide variety
range of warm-blooded animals. This study describes the epidemiological scenario of T. gondii in
an indigenous ...
Deletion of the Gene for the Type I Interferon Inhibitor I329L from the Attenuated African Swine Fever Virus OURT88/3 Strain Reduces Protection Induced in Pigs
(MDPI, 2020-05-30)
Live attenuated vaccines are considered to be the fastest route to the development of a safe and efficacious African swine fever (ASF) vaccine. Infection with the naturally attenuated OURT88/3 strain ...
Preclinical and randomized phase I studies of plitidepsin in adults hospitalized with COVID-19
(Life Science Alliance, 2022-01-10)
Plitidepsin, a marine-derived cyclic-peptide, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication at nanomolar concentrations by targeting the host protein eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A. Here, we show that ...
Efficacy of recombinant Marek’s disease virus vectored vaccines with computationally optimized broadly reactive antigen (COBRA) hemagglutinin insert against genetically diverse H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses
(Elsevier, 2021-03-11)
The genetic and antigenic drift associated with the high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) viruses of Goose/Guangdong (Gs/GD) lineage and the emergence of vaccine-resistant field viruses underscores ...
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 ...
Review of the speculative role of co-infections in Streptococcus suis-associated diseases in pigs
(BMC, 2021-03-20)
Streptococcus suis is one of the most important bacterial swine pathogens affecting post-weaned piglets, causing mainly meningitis, arthritis and sudden death. It not only results in severe economic ...
Whole-genome sequencing reveals insights into the adaptation of French Charolais cattle to Cuban tropical conditions
(BMC, 2021-01-04)
Background: In the early 20th century, Cuban farmers imported Charolais cattle (CHFR) directly from France. These
animals are now known as Chacuba (CHCU) and have become adapted to the rough environmental ...
Dual Host and Pathogen RNA-Seq Analysis Unravels Chicken Genes Potentially Involved in Resistance to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus Infection
(Frontiers Media, 2021-12-22)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) cause severe systemic disease and high mortality rates in chickens, leading to a huge economic impact in the poultry sector. However, some chickens are ...
Evidence of Prolonged Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Endemicity by Retrospective Serosurvey, Eastern Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022-04-07)
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey for antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in wild ungulates along the eastern Mediterranean Coast of Spain. The virus has been endemic in this ...
