Cross-protection against African swine fever virus upon intranasal vaccination is associated with an adaptive-innate immune crosstalk
(Public Library of Science, 2022-11-09)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a worldwide pandemic affecting the porcine industry and leading to important global economic consequences. The virus causes a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease ...
Phytogenics From Sage and Lemon Verbena Promote Growth, Systemic Immunity and Disease Resistance in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar)
(Frontiers Media, 2022-02-08)
The transcriptomic response of the head kidney, the main lymphohematopoietic tissue of the body, was evaluated in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) smolts fed a functional feed containing a phytogenic rich ...
Simulation of feed restriction and fasting: Effects on animal recovery and gastrointestinal permeability in unweaned Angus-Holstein calves
(Elsevier, 2022-01-25)
Feed restriction and fasting experienced during commercial production negatively affect unweaned calves' behavior and health status. Transportation and stays at assembly centers are the main factors ...
Evaluation of the sensitivity of the classical swine fever surveillance system in two free zones in Colombia
(Wiley, 2021-04-01)
Infection with the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) causes a disease in pigs that ranges from a hyperacute form in which animals die in a few hours to subclinical disease. Due to this wide range of ...
Feeding habits and the influence of pellet diameter on the feeding responses of the flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) in captivity
(Elsevier, 2022-06-22)
The feeding habits and effect of the diameter of pelleted feeds on the feeding responses of wild juvenile and adult flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) in captivity were examined. Optimal pellet size ...
Drought decreases incorporation of recent plant photosynthate into soil food webs regardless of their trophic complexity
(Wiley, 2019-07-13)
Theory suggests that more complex food webs promote stability and can buffer the effects of perturbations, such as drought, on soil organisms and ecosystem functions. Here, we tested experimentally how ...
Early and Solid Protection Afforded by the Thiverval Vaccine Provides Novel Vaccination Alternatives Against Classical Swine Fever Virus
(MDPI, 2021-05-06)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains a challenge for the porcine industry. Inefficient
vaccination programs in some endemic areas may have contributed to the emergence of low and
moderate virulence ...
Rules of thumb to obtain, isolate, and preserve porcine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(Elsevier, 2022-07-16)
One of the most used biospecimens in immunology are peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). PBMC are particularly useful when evaluating immunity through responses of circulating B- and T-cells, ...
Infectivity and pathobiology of H7N1 and H5N8 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses for pigeons (Columba livia var. domestica)
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-11-23)
Avian influenza (AI) is one of the most important viral diseases in poultry, wildlife and humans. Available data indicate that pigeons play a minimum role in the epidemiology of AI. However, a degree ...
XCR1+ DCs are critical for T cell-mediated immunotherapy of chronic viral infections
(Cell Press, 2023-02-14)
The contribution of cross-presenting XCR1+ dendritic cells (DCs) and SIRPα+ DCs in maintaining T cell function during exhaustion and immunotherapeutic interventions of chronic infections remains poorly ...
