Postnatal Persistent Infection with Classical Swine Fever Virus and Its Immunological Implications
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05-04)
It is well established that trans-placental transmission of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) during mid-gestation can lead to persistently infected offspring. The aim of the present study was to ...
Efficacy of a live attenuated vaccine in classical swine fever virus postnatally persistently infected pigs
(BMC, 2015-07-09)
Classical swine fever (CSF) causes major losses in pig farming, with various degrees of disease severity. Efficient live attenuated vaccines against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) are used routinely ...
Tracking Toxoplasma gondii in freshwater ecosystems: interaction with the invasive American mink (Neovison vison) in Spain
(Springer Verlag, 2018-05-21)
Water-borne transmission may play an important role in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii. Mammals closely related to freshwater ecosystems, such as the American mink (Neovison vison), are potentially ...
Serological and molecular surveys of influenza A viruses in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic wild birds
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-12-03)
To evaluate how avian influenza virus (AIV) circulates among the avifauna of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands, we surveyed 14 species of birds from Marion, Livingston and Gough islands. A competitive ...
Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which
causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle. Outbreaks involving either BTV ...
Immune response development after vaccination of 1-day-old naïve pigs with a Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome 1-based modified live virus vaccine
(BMC, 2019-02-02)
Background
The development of the innate and adaptive immune responses to Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) after vaccination of 1 day-old pigs with a PRRSV-1 based modified ...
Distribution patterns of influenza virus receptors and viral attachment patterns in the respiratory and intestinal tracts of seven avian species
(BMC, 2012-04-10)
This study assessed the presence of sialic acid α-2,3 and α-2,6 linked glycan receptors in seven avian species. The
respiratory and intestinal tracts of the chicken, common quail, red-legged partridge, ...
Identification of microRNAs in PCV2 subclinically infected pigs by high throughput sequencing
(BMC, 2015-03-03)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential etiological infectious agent of PCV2-systemic disease and has been associated with other swine diseases, all of them collectively known as porcine ...
Description of the first Schmallenberg disease outbreak in Spain and subsequent virus spreading in domestic ruminants
(Elsevier, 2019-06-10)
Schmallenberg disease (SBD) is an emerging disease transmitted mainly among ruminant species by biting midges of the genus Culicoides. Since the Schmallenberg virus (SBV) was first identified in Germany ...
Do humans spread zoonotic enteric bacteria in Antarctica?
(Elsevier, 2018-10-23)
Reports of enteric bacteria in Antarctic wildlife have suggested its spread from people to seabirds and seals, but evidence is scarce and fragmentary. We investigated the occurrence of zoonotic enteric ...
