(BMC, 2015-03-26)
Background: The majority of pandemic 2009 H1N1 (A(H1N1)pdm09) influenza virus (IV) caused mild symptoms in most infected patients, however, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young ...
Understanding the legal trade of cattle and camels and the derived risk of Rift Valley Fever introduction into and transmission within Egypt
(Public Library of Science, 2018-01-19)
Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is a mosquito-borne zoonosis, which may cause significant losses for the livestock sector and have serious public health implications. Egypt has been repeatedly affected by RVF ...
Pathogenesis and transmissibility of highly (H7N1) and low (H7N9) pathogenic avian influenza virus infection in red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa)
(BMC, 2011-02-07)
An experimental infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and low pathogenic avian influenza
virus (LPAIV) was carried out in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) in order to ...
Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
(MDPI, 2024-05-23)
In this study, we pioneered an alternative technology for manufacturing subunit influenza
hemagglutinin (HA)-based vaccines. This innovative method involves harnessing the pupae of the
Lepidoptera ...
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 ...
Efficacy of Two Licensed Avian Influenza H5 Vaccines Against Challenge with a 2015 U.S. H5N2 clade 2.3.4.4 Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus in Domestic Ducks
(American Association of Avian Pathologists, 2018-08-06)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4 viruses from the H5 goose/Guangdong lineage caused a major outbreak in poultry in the United States in 2015. Although the outbreak was controlled, ...
Zika vector competence data reveals risks of outbreaks: the contribution of the European ZIKAlliance project
(Nature Research, 2022-08-02)
First identified in 1947, Zika virus took roughly 70 years to cause a pandemic unusually associated with virus-induced brain damage in newborns. Zika virus is transmitted by mosquitoes, mainly Aedes ...
Infectious phage particles packaging antibiotic resistance genes found in meat products and chicken feces
(Nature Research, 2019-09-16)
Bacteriophages can package part of their host's genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), contributing to a rapid dissemination of resistances among bacteria. Phage particles ...
