A systems biology framework integrating GWAS and RNA-seq to shed light on the molecular basis of sperm quality in swine
(BMC, 2020-12-08)
Background
Genetic pressure in animal breeding is sparking the interest of breeders for selecting elite boars with higher sperm quality to optimize ejaculate doses and fertility rates. However, the ...
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 ...
Characterization and evolution of countries affected by bovine brucellosis (1996–2014)
(Wiley, 2019-02-10)
This paper describes the global distribution and temporal evolution of bovine brucellosis due to Brucella abortus during a 19‐year period (1996–2014) using the information officially reported to the ...
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 ...
Using commercial ELISAs to assess humoral response in sows repeatedly vaccinated with modified live porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2019-10-01)
Background Sows in breeding herds are often mass vaccinated against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) every few months using modified live vaccines (MLV). Field veterinarians repeatedly ...
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 ...
Sirolimus enhances the protection achieved by a DNA vaccine against Leishmania infantum
(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 ...
