Classical BSE prions emerge from asymptomatic pigs challenged with atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(Nature Research, 2021-08-31)
Pigs are susceptible to infection with the classical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (C-BSE) agent following experimental inoculation, and PrPSc accumulation was detected in porcine tissues after the ...
Increasing breast milk betaine modulates Akkermansia abundance in mammalian neonates and improves long-term metabolic health
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03-31)
Accelerated postnatal growth is a potentially modifiable risk factor for future obesity. To study how specific breast milk components contribute to early growth and obesity risk, we quantified one-carbon ...
Frequency of PCV-2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status
(BMC, 2024-01-16)
Background Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‑2) poses a signifcant economic threat for the swine industry, causing a range

Antimicrobial Resistance in Pasteurellaceae Isolates from Pyrenean Chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica) and Domestic Sheep in an Alpine Ecosystem
(MDPI, 2021-06-05)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has spread worldwide due to the inappropriate use of antimicrobial drugs in human and veterinary medicine, becoming a public health problem. However, little is known about ...
Gut‑associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
(Nature Research, 2024-04-11)
The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota
composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its diferent members. Eforts ...
A proof‑of‑concept study to investigate the efficacy of heat‑inactivated autovaccines in Mycobacterium caprae experimentally challenged goats
(Nature Research, 2022-12-22)
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium caprae (HIMC) vaccine in goats experimentally challenged with the same strain of M. caprae. Twenty-one goats were divided into ...

(Inter Research, 2020-12-17)
The causes of cetacean stranding and death along the Catalan coast between 2012 and 2019 were systematically investigated. Necropsies and detailed pathological investigations were performed on 89 ...
Exploratory Study of the Frequency of Detection and Tissue Distribution of Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Pig Fetuses at Different Gestational Ages
(MDPI, 2022-01-20)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been associated with several pig diseases. Despite the pathogenicity of this virus has not been completely clarified, reproductive disorders are consistently associated ...
