Native and invasive bird interactions increase the spread of Newcastle disease in urban environments
(Springer, 2023-12-11)
Due to their large population sizes, synanthropic birds, including native and invasive species, can transmit pathogens to other vertebrates, and even humans. In particular, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ...
Erysipelas with preferential brain and skin involvement in a Mediterranean bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus
(Inter-Research Science, 2024-02-01)
Infections by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae occur in domestic animals and cause the
disease known as ‘erysipelas’. The ubiquity of Erysipelothrix spp. makes infection possible in a
wide range of ...
New Potential Role of European Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) in the Epidemiology of Border Disease in the Pyrenees
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2023-10-24)
Since 2001, high-mortality outbreaks of border disease (BD) have negatively affected populations of Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). Studies in the affected areas determined that sympatric ...
Middle East respiratory coronavirus (MERS-CoV) internalized by llama alveolar macrophages does not result in virus replication or induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Severe Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is characterized by massive infiltration of immune cells
in lungs. MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) replicates in vitro in human macrophages, inducing high ...
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, ...
Protective Immunity to Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Mediated by Recombinant Listeria innocua Harboring the VGC Locus
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-19)
In this study we propose a novel bacterial vaccine strategy where non-pathogenic bacteria are complemented with traits
desirable for the induction of protective immunity. To illustrate the proof of ...
A Protein Misfolding Shaking Amplificationbased method for the spontaneous generation of hundreds of bona fide prions
(Nature Research, 2024-03-08)
Prion diseases are a group of rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders
caused by the misfolding of the endogenous prion protein (PrPC) into a
pathogenic form (PrPSc). This process, despite being ...
Immunisation efficacy of a stabilised SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein in two geriatric animal models
(Nature Research, 2024-02-27)
AgeisassociatedwithreducedefficacyofvaccinesandlinkedtohigherriskofsevereCOVID-19.Herewe
determined the impact of ageing on the efficacy of a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine based on a stabilised Spike
glycoprotein ...
Immunization with V987H-stabilized Spike glycoprotein protects K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters upon SARS-CoV-2 infection
(Nature Research, 2024-03-21)
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) vaccines are crucial to fight against the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic. Most vaccines are based on a mutated version ...
Field evaluation of an automated mosquito surveillance system which classifies Aedes and Culex mosquitoes by genus and sex
(BMC, 2024-03-01)
Background Mosquito‑borne diseases are a major concern for public and veterinary health authorities, highlighting
the importance of efective vector surveillance and control programs. Traditional ...
