Evaluation of the sustainability of contrasted pig farming systems: integrated evaluation
(Elsevier, 2014-08-28)
The aim of this paper is to present an approach for an integrated evaluation of the sustainability of pig farming systems, taking into account the three classical pillars: economy, environment and ...
Detection of SARS-CoV-2 in a cat owned by a COVID-19−affected patient in Spain
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-09-18)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the etiological agent of COVID-19, is considered a zoonotic pathogen mainly transmitted human to human. Few reports indicate that pets may ...
Preclinical evaluation of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate based on a recombinant RBD fusion heterodimer of SARS-CoV-2
(Cell Press, 2023-02-02)
Current COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with a decline in infection rates,
prevention of severe disease, and a decrease in mortality rates. However, SARSCoV-2 variants are continuously evolving, ...
Diversity across major and candidate genes in European local pig breeds
(Public Library of Science, 2018-11-20)
The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution of causal and candidate mutations associated to relevant productive traits in twenty local European pig breeds. Also, the potential of the SNP panel ...
Genome‐wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds by whole‐genome sequencing of DNA pools identified breed‐characterising copy number states
(Wiley, 2020-06-08)
In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent important genetic ...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and humoral responses against different variants of concern in domestic pet animals and stray cats from North-Eastern Spain
(Wiley, 2022-09-27)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in humans, is able to infect several domestic, captive and wildlife ...
Copy Number Variation on ABCC2-DNMBP Loci Affects the Diversity and Composition of the Fecal Microbiota in Pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-05-31)
Genetic variation in the pig genome partially modulates the composition of porcine gut microbial communities. Previous studies have been focused on the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Interrelation between gut microbiota, SCFA, and fatty acid composition in pigs
(American Society for Microbiology, 2023-12-14)
The gut microbiota is a key player in the host metabolism. Some bacteria are able to ferment non-digestible compounds and produce short-chain fatty acids that the host can later transform and accumulate ...
Kinetics of immune responses elicited after three mRNA COVID-19 vaccine doses in predominantly antibody-deficient individuals
(Cell Press, 2022-10-28)
Mass vaccination campaigns reduced COVID-19 incidence and severity. Here, we evaluated the immune responses developed in SARS-CoV-2-uninfected patients with predominantly antibody-deficiencies (PAD) ...
DNA vaccine based on conserved HA-peptides induces strong immune response and rapidly clears influenza virus infection from vaccinated pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2019-09-25)
Swine influenza virus (SIVs) infections cause a significant economic impact to the pork industry.
Moreover, pigs may act as mixing vessel favoring genome reassortment of diverse influenza
viruses. ...
