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 ...
Retrospective study on transmissible viral proventriculitis and chicken proventricular necrosis virus (CPNV) in the UK
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-10-21)
Chicken proventricular necrosis virus (CPNV) is a recently described birnavirus, which has been proposed to be the cause of transmissible viral proventriculitis (TVP). The understanding of the epidemiology ...
Multi-isotopic assessments of spatio-temporal diet variability: the case of two sympatric gulls in the western Mediterranean
(Wiley, 2018-11-15)
In predator populations, changes in foraging behaviour in response to spatio-temporal variability of prey are expected. Prey depletion might cause trophic niche widening in generalist species, but not ...
Monitoring of bluetongue virus in zoo animals in Spain, 2007–2019
(Wiley, 2021-05-08)
Bluetongue (BT) is an emerging and re-emerging communicable vector-borne disease of animal health concern. A serosurvey was performed to assess exposure to BT virus (BTV) in zoo animals in Spain and to ...
Animal models for COVID-19
(Nature Research, 2020-09-23)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the aetiological
agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging respiratory infection
caused by the introduction of a novel ...
Stable neutralizing antibody levels 6 months after mild and severe COVID-19 episodes
(Elsevier, 2021-01-31)
Background. Understanding mid-term kinetics of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is the cornerstone for public health control of the pandemic and vaccine development. However, current evidence is rather based on ...
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection in camelids
(SAGE Publications, 2022-01-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is the cause of a severe respiratory disease with a high case fatality rate in humans. Since its emergence in mid-2012, 2578 laboratory-confirmed ...
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Research, 2022-05-09)
A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ...
Quantification of camelid cytokine mRNA expression in PBMCs by microfluidic qPCR technology
(Elsevier, 2023-09-17)
Camelids are economically and socially important in several parts of the world and might carry pathogens with
epizootic or zoonotic potential. However, biological research in these species is limited ...
