Coinfection with Entamoeba polecki and Brachyspira hyodysenteriae in a pig with severe diarrhea
(SAGE Publications, 2019-02-09)
Enteric disease in pigs is usually of multifactorial etiology, including infectious and non-infectious factors. In many cases of endemic diarrhea in weaner-to-finisher pigs, the combination of 2 or more ...
Development of a new largely scalable in vitro prion propagation method for the production of infectious recombinant prions for high resolution structural studies
(Public Library of Science, 2019-10-23)
The resolution of the three-dimensional structure of infectious prions at the atomic level is pivotal to understand the pathobiology of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), but has been long ...
Clearance and persistence of Escherichia coli in the freshwater mussel Unio mancus
(Nature Research, 2022-07-20)
The excessive use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of resistant bacteria, mainly from the Enterobacterales group, with high pathogenic/zoonotic potentials that can lead to problems in public ...
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 ...
Detection and genetic characterization of enteric viruses in diarrhoea outbreaks from swine farms in Spain
(BioMed Central, 2023-06-22)
Background The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and distribution of Porcine astrovirus (PAstV), Porcine
kobuvirus (PKoV), Porcine torovirus (PToV), Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV) and Porcine ...
Infectious diseases of interest for the conservation of peccaries in the Amazon: A systematic quantitative review
(Elsevier, 2022-12-23)
Infectious diseases are increasingly emerging and spreading globally, ending up being considered a threat to biodiversity. In the Amazon region, repeated disappearance episodes of local populations of ...
Schlafen 12 restricts HIV-1 latency reversal by a codon-usage dependent post-transcriptional block in CD4+ T cells
(Nature Research, 2023-05-10)
Latency is a major barrier towards virus elimination in HIV-1-infected individuals. Yet, the mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of HIV-1 latency are incompletely understood. Here we describe ...
Dynamics of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in two wild ungulate hosts during a disease-induced population collapse
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
Identifying the role that host species play in pathogen transmission and maintenance is crucial for disease
control, but it is a difficult task, in particular for vector-borne and multi-host pathogens, ...
Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-13)
Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ...
