Ingestion of foreign materials by odontocetes along the Catalan coast: causes and consequences
(Inter Research, 2020-11-05)
Ingestion of abnormal materials by cetaceans has been reported worldwide, but few studies have investigated the causes of foreign material ingestion. We retrospectively analysed necropsies performed ...
Protective efficacy of an RBD-based Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) particle vaccine in llamas
(BMC, 2022-06-24)
Ongoing outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) continue posing a global health threat. Vaccination of livestock reservoir species is a recommended strategy to prevent spread ...
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-14)
Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ...
Animal models for COVID-19
(Nature Research, 2020-09-23)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the aetiological
agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging respiratory infection
caused by the introduction of a novel ...
Influence of dietary n-3 long-chain fatty acids on microbial diversity and composition of sows’ feces, colostrum, milk, and suckling piglets’ feces
(Frontiers Media, 2022-12-05)
Introduction: Very little is known about the impact of n-3 long-chain fatty acids (n-3 LCFAs) on the microbiota of sows and their piglets. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of n-3 LCFA ...
Differential kinetics of splenic CD169+ macrophage death is one underlying cause of virus infection fate regulation
(Springer Nature, 2023-12-18)
Acute infection and chronic infection are the two most common fates of pathogenic virus infections. While several factors that
contribute to these fates are described, the critical control points and ...
Blocking transmission of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in llamas by vaccination with a recombinant spike protein
(Taylor & Francis Open, 2019-11-12)
The ongoing Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreaks pose a worldwide public health threat. Blocking MERS-CoV zoonotic transmission from dromedary camels, the animal reservoir, ...
African swine fever vaccines: a promising work still in progress
(BMC, 2020-07-02)
African swine fever (ASF), a disease of obligatory declaration to the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE), has contributed to poverty and underdevelopment of affected areas. The presence of ASF ...
Variability in porcine microRNA genes and its association with mRNA expression and lipid phenotypes
(BMC, 2021-05-04)
Background: Mature microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in repressing the expression of a wide range of
mRNAs. The presence of polymorphic sites in miRNA genes and their corresponding 3′UTR binding ...
Experimental Inoculation of Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Pregnant Gilts Causes PCV-3-Associated Lesions in Newborn Piglets that Persist until Weaning
(Wiley, 2023-10-20)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been detected in cases of reproductive failure but the pathogenesis of such infection is poorly
understood. So far, experimental PCV-3 inoculations have been performed ...
