First identification and characterization of ovine gammaherpesvirus type 2 in horses and artiodactyla from an outbreak of malignant catarrhal fever in Mexico
(Public Library of Science, 2023-09-01)
Ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), a member of the genus Macavirus, causes sheepassociated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF), a fatal lymphoproliferative disease affecting
a wide variety of ungulates ...
The feather epithelium contributes to the dissemination and ecology of clade 2.3.4.4b H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in ducks
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-11-03)
Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry.
However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This ...
Assessing the role of livestock and sympatric wild ruminants in spreading antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter and Salmonella in alpine ecosystems
(BMC, 2021-02-15)
Background: Livestock play an important role as reservoir of enteric pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a health and economic concern worldwide. However, little is known regarding the ...
Distribution patterns of influenza virus receptors and viral attachment patterns in the respiratory and intestinal tracts of seven avian species
(BMC, 2012-04-10)
This study assessed the presence of sialic acid α-2,3 and α-2,6 linked glycan receptors in seven avian species. The
respiratory and intestinal tracts of the chicken, common quail, red-legged partridge, ...
Genomic analysis of sewage from 101 countries reveals global landscape of antimicrobial resistance
(Nature Research, 2022-12-01)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. Understanding the emergence, evolution, and transmission of individual antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is essential to develop ...

Inactivation of African swine fever virus inoculated in liquid plasma by spray drying and storage for 14 days at 4˚C or 20˚C
(Public Library of Science, 2023-08-22)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is a dsDNA virus that can cause high mortality in pigs of all
ages. Spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) is a highly digestible ingredient used in feed
because it benefits ...
Lack of Porcine circovirus 4 Genome Detection in Pig Samples from Italy and Spain
(MDPI, 2020-05-31)
The genus Circovirus includes several species and mostly causes asymptomatic infections. Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) and, with increasing evidence, Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3), have been associated ...
