A systems biology framework integrating GWAS and RNA-seq to shed light on the molecular basis of sperm quality in swine
(BMC, 2020-12-08)
Background
Genetic pressure in animal breeding is sparking the interest of breeders for selecting elite boars with higher sperm quality to optimize ejaculate doses and fertility rates. However, the ...
Preclinical evaluation of PHH-1V vaccine candidate against SARS-CoV-2 in non-human primates
(Cell Press, 2023-06-28)
SARS-CoV-2 emerged in December 2019 and quickly spread worldwide, continuously striking with an unpredictable evolution. Despite the success in vaccine production and mass vaccination programs, the ...
Occurrence and antimicrobial resistance of zoonotic enteropathogens in gulls from southern Europe
(Elsevier, 2020-10-19)
Campylobacter spp. and Salmonella spp. are the two most frequent zoonotic bacteria involved in human enteric infections in the European Union. Both enteropathogens have been isolated from a diversity ...
Serological and molecular surveys of influenza A viruses in Antarctic and sub-Antarctic wild birds
(Cambridge University Press, 2019-12-03)
To evaluate how avian influenza virus (AIV) circulates among the avifauna of the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic islands, we surveyed 14 species of birds from Marion, Livingston and Gough islands. A competitive ...
Foraging in the Anthropocene: Feeding plasticity of an opportunistic predator revealed by long term monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021-07-08)
For centuries, human activities have altered the population dynamics of wildlife. New anthropogenic food sources provide a predictable and abundant food supply that often induces very significant ...
Efficacy Studies against PCV-2 of a New Trivalent Vaccine including PCV-2a and PCV-2b Genotypes and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae When Administered at 3 Weeks of Age
(MDPI, 2022-12-09)
This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a new trivalent vaccine containing inactivated
Porcine Circovirus 1-2a and 1-2b chimeras and a Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae bacterin administered to
pigs around ...
Widespread Circulation of Flaviviruses in Horses and Birds in Northeastern Spain (Catalonia) between 2010 and 2019
(MDPI, 2021-11-30)
The surveillance for West Nile virus (WNV) in Catalonia (northeastern Spain) has consistently detected flaviviruses not identified as WNV. With the aim of characterizing the flaviviruses
circulating ...
Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2021-10-24)
Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of
the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which
causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle. Outbreaks involving either BTV ...
