Infectious phage particles packaging antibiotic resistance genes found in meat products and chicken feces
(Nature Research, 2019-09-16)
Bacteriophages can package part of their host's genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), contributing to a rapid dissemination of resistances among bacteria. Phage particles ...
High levels of unreported intraspecific diversity among RNA viruses in faeces of neonatal piglets with diarrhoea
(BMC, 2019-12-05)
BACKGROUND:
Diarrhoea is a major cause of death in neonate pigs and most of the viruses that cause it are RNA viruses. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) deeply characterize the genetic diversity among ...
Temporal dynamics of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in the Arabian Peninsula, 2012-2017
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-10-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) remains a notable disease and poses a significant threat to global public health. The Arabian Peninsula is considered a major global epicentre for ...
Comparison of cytokine profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells between piglets born from Porcine circovirus 2 vaccinated and non-vaccinated sows
(Elsevier, 2017-12-19)
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) sow vaccination on cell-mediated immune responses in sows and their progeny. At 7 weeks before farrowing, fifteen PCV2 PCR ...
Experimental study of the susceptibility of a European Aedes albopictus strain to dengue virus under a simulated Mediterranean temperature regime
(Wiley, 2018-07-27)
Dengue virus (DENV) has re‐emerged in Europe driven by the geographic expansion of the mosquito species Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and the introduction of the virus by ...
Assessing the variability in transmission of bovine tuberculosis within Spanish cattle herds
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)
In Spain, despite years of efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis (bTB), the disease is still endemic, with some
areas of high prevalence. In this context, the surveillance and control plans may need ...
Mycoplasma conjunctivae in insect vectors and anatomic locations related to transmission and persistence
(Elsevier, 2018-11-12)
Mycoplasma conjunctivae is an obligate microparasite that causes Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis (IKC) in Caprinae species. IKC is a long-recognised disease, but little attention has been paid to the ...
Update on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniaeinfections in pigs: Knowledge gaps for improved disease control
(Wiley, 2017-08-23)
Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae(M. hyopneumoniae) is the primary pathogen of enzooticpneumonia, a chronic respiratory disease in pigs. Infections occur worldwide andcause major economic losses to the pig ...
Investigation of chronic and persistent classical swine fever infections under field conditions and their impact on vaccine efficacy
(BMC, 2019-07-15)
Background: Recent studies have hypothesized that circulation of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) variants when the immunity induced by the vaccine is not sterilizing might favour viral persistence. ...
Epidemiology and spatio‐temporal analysis of West Nile virus in horses in Spain between 2010 and 2016
(Wiley, 2017-10-16)
During the last decade, West Nile virus (WNV) outbreaks have increased sharply in both horses and human in Europe. The aims of this study were to evaluate characteristics and spatio‐temporal distribution ...
