Development of a new loop-mediated isothermal amplification test for the sensitive, rapid, and economic detection of different genotypes of Classical swine fever virus
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-15)
Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains one of the most
important pathogens in animal health. Pathogen detection relies on viral RNA
extraction followed by RT-qPCR. Novel technologies ...
VtaA8 and VtaA9 from Haemophilus parasuis delay phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages
(BMC, 2012-07-27)
Haemophilus parasuis, a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract
of healthy pigs and the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease. As other virulent ...
Leishmania Infection in Wild Lagomorphs and Domestic Dogs in North-East Spain
(MDPI, 2024-04-02)
Leishmania infantum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite distributed worldwide that is transmitted
by phlebotomine sandflies. Dogs are the main reservoir for human infections. However, in recent years,
the ...
Toxoplasma gondii in a Remote Subsistence Hunting-Based Indigenous Community of the Peruvian Amazon
(MDPI, 2024-04-26)
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects a wide variety
range of warm-blooded animals. This study describes the epidemiological scenario of T. gondii in
an indigenous ...
Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells
(BMC, 2012-11-16)
Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered
the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results ...
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11-12)
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are
scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ...
Adiaspiromycoses in wild rodents from the Pyrenees, north-eastern Spain
(Wildlife Disease Association, 2024-04-05)
Adiaspiromycosis is a non-transmissible infectious pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation
of propagules from fungal species belonging to the family Ajellomicetaceae,
especially Emergomyces crescens. ...
Nanoparticle-Based Secretory Granules Induce a Specific and Long-Lasting Immune Response through Prolonged Antigen Release
(MDPI, 2024-02-27)
Developing prolonged antigen delivery systems that mimic long-term exposure to pathogens
appears as a promising but still poorly explored approach to reach durable immunities. In this study,
we have ...
Gut microbiome and resistome characterization of pigs treated with commonly used post-weaning diarrhea treatments
(BMC, 2024-05-03)
Background The global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands additional measures to ensure the sustainable
and conscious use of antimicrobials. For the swine industry, the post-weaning period is ...
Cytokine profiles and phenotype regulation of antigen presenting cells by genotype-I porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus isolates
(BMC, 2011-01-18)
The present study examined the immunological response of antigen presenting cells (APC) to genotype-I isolates
of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection by analysing the ...
