Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild mustelids and cats across an urban-rural gradient
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-20)
The increase in human population and domestic pets, such as cats, are generating important consequences in terms of habitat loss and pathogen pollution of coastal ecosystems with potential to generate ...
Development of pig conventional dendritic cells from bone marrow hematopoietic cells in vitro
(Frontiers Media, 2020-10-08)
In recent years, porcine dendritic cells (DCs) have been identified from pig tissues. However, studying the interaction of porcine DCs with pathogens is still difficult due to the scarcity of DCs in ...
Estimated quantity of swine virus genomes based on quantitative PCR analysis in spray-dried porcine plasma samples collected from multiple manufacturing plants
(Public Library of Science, 2022-05-23)
This survey was conducted to estimate the incidence and level of potential viral contamination in commercially collected porcine plasma. Samples of spray dried porcine plasma (SDPP) were collected over ...
Cytokine profiles and phenotype regulation of antigen presenting cells by genotype-I porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus isolates
(BMC, 2011-01-18)
The present study examined the immunological response of antigen presenting cells (APC) to genotype-I isolates
of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection by analysing the ...
Conserved Synthetic Peptides from the Hemagglutinin of Influenza Viruses Induce Broad Humoral and T-Cell Responses in a Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-16)
Outbreaks involving either H5N1 or H1N1 influenza viruses (IV) have recently become an increasing threat to cause potential
pandemics. Pigs have an important role in this aspect. As reflected in the ...
Conserved HA-peptide NG34 formulated in pCMV-CTLA4-Ig reduces viral shedding in pigs after a heterosubtypic influenza virus SwH3N2 challenge
(Public Library of Science, 2019-03-01)
Swine influenza viruses (SIVs), the causal agents of swine influenza, are not only important to control due to the economic losses in the swine industry, but also can be pandemic pathogens. Vaccination ...
In Vivo Bactericidal Efficacy of GWH1 Antimicrobial Peptide Displayed on Protein Nanoparticles, a Potential Alternative to Antibiotics
(MDPI, 2020-12-17)
Oligomerization of antimicrobial peptides into nanosized supramolecular complexes produced in biological systems (inclusion bodies and self-assembling nanoparticles) seems an appealing alternative to ...
A monoclonal antibody targeting a large surface of the receptor binding motif shows pan-neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 activity
(Nature Research, 2024-02-05)
Here we report the characterization of 17T2, a SARS-CoV-2 pan-neutralizing
human monoclonal antibody isolated from a COVID-19 convalescent individual infected during the first pandemic wave. 17T2 is a ...
Bona fide atypical scrapie faithfully reproduced for the first time in a rodent model
(BMC, 2022-12-13)
Atypical Scrapie, which is not linked to epidemics, is assumed to be an idiopathic spontaneous prion disease in small ruminants. Therefore, its occurrence is unlikely to be controlled through selective ...
Enhancing the monitoring of fallen stock at different hierarchical administrative levels: an illustration on dairy cattle from regions with distinct husbandry, demographical and climate traits
(BMC, 2020-04-14)
Background: The automated collection of non-specific data from livestock, combined with techniques for data mining and time series analyses, facilitates the development of animal health syndromic ...
