Use of the informational spectrum methodology for rapid biological analysis of the novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV: prediction of potential receptor, natural reservoir, tropism and therapeutic/vaccine target [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review]
(F1000Research, 2020-01-27)
A novel coronavirus recently identified in Wuhan, China (2019-nCoV) has
expanded the number of highly pathogenic coronaviruses affecting
humans. The 2019-nCoV represents a potential epidemic or ...
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 ...
Unraveling the antiviral activity of plitidepsin against SARS-CoV-2 by subcellular and morphological analysis
(Elsevier, 2022-02-26)
The pandemic caused by the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has made evident the need for broad-spectrum, efficient antiviral treatments to combat emerging and re-emerging viruses. Plitidepsin is an antitumor ...
Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation in a Simulated Hospital Room Using a Mobile and Autonomous Robot Emitting Ultraviolet-C Light
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11-20)
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since 2019 has made mask-wearing, physical distancing, hygiene, and disinfection complementary measures to control virus ...
Differences in enteric pathogens and intestinal microbiota between diarrheic weaned piglets and healthy penmates
(Elsevier, 2024-06-25)
Postweaning diarrhea (PWD) is a multifactorial disease caused by different aetiological agents, like viruses or bacteria and where the role of the microbiota remains unclear. The aim of this study was ...
Cross-validation of generic risk assessment tools for animal disease incursion based on a case study for African swine fever
(Frontiers Media, 2020-02-18)
In recent years, several generic risk assessment (RA) tools have been developed that can be applied to assess the incursion risk of multiple infectious animal diseases allowing for a rapid response to ...
Complete feed versus concentrate and straw fed separately: Effect of feeding method on eating and sorting behavior, rumen acidosis, and digestibility in crossbred Angus bulls fed high-concentrate diets
(Elsevier, 2021-01-06)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding method on eating and sorting behavior, rumen acidosis, and apparent total tract digestibility of crossbred Angus bulls fed a high-concentrate ...
Viral shedding and environmental dispersion of two clade 2.3.4.4b H5 high pathogenicity avian infuenza viruses in experimentally infected mule ducks: implications for environmental sampling
(BMC, 2024-08-12)
High pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) have caused major epizootics in recent years, with devastating consequences for poultry and wildlife worldwide. Domestic and wild ducks can be highly ...
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 ...
