Economic impact of bovine cysticercosis and taeniosis caused by Taenia saginata in Belgium
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-13)
Background: Bovine cysticercosis (BCC) (due to Taenia saginata) is often claimed to cause considerable economic
losses to the livestock industry, particularly in beef cattle, but recent studies estimating ...
Genome‐wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds by whole‐genome sequencing of DNA pools identified breed‐characterising copy number states
(Wiley, 2020-06-08)
In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent important genetic ...
Limited Interactions between Streptococcus Suis and Haemophilus Parasuis in In Vitro Co-Infection Studies
(MDPI, 2018-01-06)
Streptococcus suis and Haemophilus parasuis are normal inhabitants of the porcine upper
respiratory tract but are also among the most frequent causes of disease in weaned piglets worldwide,
causing ...
Impact of Cryopreservation on Viability, Phenotype, and Functionality of Porcine PBMC
(Frontiers Media, 2021-11-29)
The use of frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) is common in immunological studies. The impact of freezing PBMC has been assessed using human and mice cells, but little information is available ...
Immunological Features of the Non-Structural Proteins of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
(MDPI, 2015-02-24)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is currently one of the most important viruses affecting the swine industry worldwide. Despite the large number of papers published each year, ...
An association analysis for 14 candidate genes mapping to meat quality quantitative trait loci in a Duroc pig population reveals that the ATP1A2 genotype is highly associated with muscle electric conductivity
(Wiley, 2019-10-21)
In previous GWAS carried out in a Duroc commercial line (Lipgen population), we detected on pig chromosomes 3, 4 and 14 several QTL for gluteus medius muscle redness (GM a*), electric conductivity in ...
Reappraising the use of forearm rings for bat species
(Elsevier, 2023-09-10)
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across
Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings for this purpose. Although it ...
Epidemiology and economic impact of bovine cysticercosis and taeniosis caused by Taenia saginata in northeastern Spain (Catalonia)
(BioMed Central, 2018-06-28)
Background: In Catalonia (north-eastern Spain), Taenia saginata has been described in cattle but its occurrence in
humans is unclear. Moreover, whether cattle acquired the infection in Catalonia or ...
Whole-Genome SNP Analysis Identifies Putative Mycobacterium bovis Transmission Clusters in Livestock and Wildlife in Catalonia, Spain
(MDPI, 2021-07-30)
The high-resolution WGS analyses of MTBC strains have provided useful insight for determining sources of infection for animal tuberculosis. In Spain, tuberculosis in livestock is caused by Mycobacterium ...
Slow-Release Urea as a Sustainable Alternative to Soybean Meal in Ruminant Nutrition
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Three experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a commercial slow-release urea product (SRU; Optigen®, Alltech Inc., Nicholasville, KY, USA) as a partial replacement for vegetable ...
