Field-captured Aedes vexans (Meigen, 1830) is a competent vector for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus in Europe
(BMC, 2019-10-16)
BACKGROUND:
Aedes vexans (Meigen) is considered a nuisance species in central Europe and the Mediterranean region. It is an anthropophilic and mammalophilic floodwater mosquito involved in the transmission ...
Understanding the key features of the spontaneous formation of bona fde prions through a novel methodology that enables their swift and consistent generation
(BMC, 2023-09-07)
Among transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases afecting humans, sporadic forms such as spo‑
radic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease are the vast majority. Unlike genetic or acquired forms ...
A Polyuridine Insertion in the 3′ Untranslated Region of Classical Swine Fever Virus Activates Immunity and Reduces Viral Virulence in Piglets
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-01-06)
Low-virulence classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strains make CSF eradication particularly difficult. Few data are available on the molecular determinants of CSFV virulence. The aim of the present study ...
Descriptive epidemiology of classical swine fever outbreaks in the period 2013-2018 in Colombia
(Public Library of Science, 2020-06-17)
Classical swine fever (CSF) is an infectious viral disease caused by an RNA virus belonging to the Pestivirus genus. A total of 134 outbreaks of CSF have occurred in the last seven years in the North ...
Blubber and serum cortisol concentrations as indicators of the stress response and overall health status in striped dolphins
(Elsevier, 2022-07-08)
The impacts of environmental changes and anthropogenic threats in marine mammals are a growing concern for their conservation. In recent years, efforts have been directed to understand how marine mammals ...
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 ...
Efficacy of multivalent recombinant herpesvirus of turkey vaccines against high pathogenicity avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and Newcastle disease viruses
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
Vaccines are an essential tool for the control of viral infections in domestic animals. We generated recombinant vector herpesvirus of turkeys (vHVT) vaccines expressing computationally optimized broadly ...

(BMC, 2020-06-09)
Background
Leishmaniases are a group of neglected tropical parasitic diseases, mainly affecting vulnerable populations of countries with poor socioeconomic status. Development of efficient vaccines is ...
Phenotypic insecticide resistance in arbovirus mosquito vectors in Catalonia and its capital Barcelona (Spain)
(Public Library of Science, 2019-07-05)
A range of mosquito species that belong to the Culicidae family are responsible for the
worldwide transmission of infectious arboviral diseases such as dengue fever, Zika, West
Nile fever and Chikungunya ...
Previous SARS-CoV-2 Infection Increases B.1.1.7 Cross-Neutralization by Vaccinated Individuals
(MDPI, 2021-06-12)
With the spread of new variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), there is a need to assess the protection conferred by both previous infections and current vaccination. ...
