The Role of Birds of Prey in West Nile Virus Epidemiology
(MDPI, 2020-09-21)
Reported human cases of West Nile virus (WNV) in Europe increased dramatically in
2018. Lineage 1 strains had been circulating in Euro-Mediterranean countries since the early 1990s.
The subsequent ...
Effect of spray-drying and ultraviolet C radiation as biosafety steps for CSFV and ASFV inactivation in porcine plasma
(Public Library of Science, 2021-04-28)
Spray-dried animal plasma (SDAP) is widely used in diets of domestic animals to improve health status and increase growth and feed efficiency. Individual steps in the SDAP manufacturing process, including ...
Identification of Single Amino Acid Changes in the Rift Valley Fever Virus Polymerase Core Domain Contributing to Virus Attenuation In Vivo
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-28)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arboviral zoonotic disease affecting many African countries with
the potential to spread to other geographical areas. RVF affects sheep, goats, cattle and
camels, causing ...
Exploring the Antiviral Potential of Natural Compounds against Influenza: A Combined Computational and Experimental Approach
(MDPI, 2024-04-30)
The influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), which is crucial for viral replication
and immune evasion, has been identified as a significant drug target with substantial potential to
contribute ...
Dairy farmers’ decision‐making to implement biosecurity measures: A study of psychosocial factors
(Wiley, 2019-10-10)
Biosecurity measures are a set of management procedures that prevent the risk of introducing and spreading infectious diseases to a farm, although these measures are rarely implemented in dairy farms. ...
Vaccination of Calves with the Mycobacterium bovis BCG Strain Induces Protection against Bovine Tuberculosis in Dairy Herds under a Natural Transmission Setting
(MDPI, 2022-04-22)
Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is a zoonotic disease caused mainly by Mycobacterium bovis, which is associated with major economic losses for milk and meat producers. The objective of this trial was to assess ...
Neutralizing antibodies against porcine circovirus type 2 in liquid pooled plasma contribute to the biosafety of commercially manufactured spray-dried porcine plasma
(Oxford University Press, 2013-05-01)
Neutralizing antibodies (NA) inherently present in pooled plasma collected at commercial abattoirs may provide some protection against potential porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infectivity of plasma. ...
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. ...
Immunogenicity and protection against Mycobacterium caprae challenge in goats vaccinated with BCG and revaccinated after one year
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
Vaccination has been proposed as a supplementary tool for the control of tuberculosis in livestock. The long-term immunogenicity elicited by bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and the efficacy of revaccination ...
