Molecular characterization of Glaesserella parasuis strains circulating in North American swine production systems
(BMC, 2023-08-28)
Background Glaesserella parasuis is the causative agent of Glässer’s disease in pigs. Serotyping is the most common
method used to type G. parasuis isolates. However, the high number of non-typables ...

This is a literature review of the effects of humans´ relationships with farm animals on animal productivity and welfare, including the following topics: definition of the concept and description of ...
Prevalences of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Vibrio parahaemolyticus in mollusks from the Spanish Mediterranean Coast
(Frontiers Media, 2015-07-21)
Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a well-recognized pathogen of humans. To better understand the ecology of the human-pathogenic variants of this bacterium in the environment, a study on the prevalence in ...
The Cipher Code of Simple Sequence Repeats in “Vampire Pathogens”
(Nature Research, 2015-07-28)
Blood inside mammals is a forbidden area for the majority of prokaryotic microbes; however, red blood cells tropism microbes, like “vampire pathogens” (VP), succeed in matching scarce nutrients and ...
A catalog of microbial genes from the bovine rumen unveils a specialized and diverse biomass-degrading environment
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-05-30)
Background
The rumen microbiota provides essential services to its host and, through its role in ruminant production, contributes to human nutrition and food security. A thorough knowledge of the genetic ...
Examining the perspectives of using manure from livestock farms as fertilizer to crop fields based on a realistic simulation
