Efficacy of parenteral vaccination against tuberculosis with heat-inactivated Mycobacterium bovis in experimentally challenged goats
(Public Library of Science, 2018-05-09)
Tuberculosis (TB) in animals is a re-emerging disease with a wide range of hosts that
causes large economic losses in livestock. Goats are particularly susceptible to TB and, in
endemic areas, vaccination ...
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 ...
ICTV Virus Taxonomy Profile: Asfarviridae
(Microbiology Society, 2018-03-22)
The family Asfarviridae includes the single species African swine fever virus, isolates of which have linear dsDNA genomes of
170–194 kbp. Virions have an internal core, an internal lipid membrane, an ...
Urban Wild Boars and Risk for Zoonotic Streptococcus suis, Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018-03-05)
Urban wild boars (Sus scrofa) from Barcelona, Spain, harbor great diversity of Streptococcus suis strains, including strains with the cps2 gene and with the same molecular profile as local human cases. ...
Characterization of porcine dendritic cell response to Streptococcus suis
(BMC, 2011-06-02)
Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen and important zoonotic agent causing mainly septicemia and
meningitis. However, the mechanisms involved in host innate and adaptive immune responses toward ...
Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy of Chronic Virus Infection Improves Virus Control without Augmenting Tissue Damage by Fibrosis
(MDPI, 2024-05-17)
Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, albeit commonly used against tumors, is
still at its infancy against chronic virus infections. It relies on the reinvigoration of exhausted T
lymphocytes to ...
Role of wild ruminants in the epidemiology of bluetongue virus serotypes 1, 4 and 8 in Spain
(BMC, 2011-07-23)
Although the importance of wild ruminants as potential reservoirs of bluetongue virus (BTV) has been suggested,
the role played by these species in the epidemiology of BT in Europe is still unclear. ...
Elucidating the Onset of Cross-Protective Immunity after Intranasal Vaccination with the Attenuated African Swine Fever Vaccine Candidate BA71ΔCD2
(MDPI, 2024-05-09)
African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease of swine currently causing a worldwide
pandemic, leading to severe economic consequences for the porcine industry. The control of disease
spread is hampered ...
Neuropathogenesis of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H7N1) in experimentally infected chickens
(BMC, 2011-10-07)
In order to understand the mechanism of neuroinvasion of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) into
the central nervous system (CNS) of chickens, specific pathogen free chickens were ...
