Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023-02-07)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended ...
Comparison of cytokine profiles in peripheral blood mononuclear cells between piglets born from Porcine circovirus 2 vaccinated and non-vaccinated sows
(Elsevier, 2017-12-19)
This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) sow vaccination on cell-mediated immune responses in sows and their progeny. At 7 weeks before farrowing, fifteen PCV2 PCR ...
Increasing breast milk betaine modulates Akkermansia abundance in mammalian neonates and improves long-term metabolic health
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03-31)
Accelerated postnatal growth is a potentially modifiable risk factor for future obesity. To study how specific breast milk components contribute to early growth and obesity risk, we quantified one-carbon ...
Frequency of PCV-2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status
(BMC, 2024-01-16)
Background Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‑2) poses a signifcant economic threat for the swine industry, causing a range
of diseases collectively referred to as porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs). Despite ...
Gut‑associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
(Nature Research, 2024-04-11)
The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota
composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its diferent members. Eforts ...
Exploratory Study of the Frequency of Detection and Tissue Distribution of Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Pig Fetuses at Different Gestational Ages
(MDPI, 2022-01-20)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been associated with several pig diseases. Despite the pathogenicity of this virus has not been completely clarified, reproductive disorders are consistently associated ...
Porcine Forebrain Vacuolization Associated with Wasting in Pigs: A Novel Pathological Outcome Associated with Vitamin–Mineral Deficiency?
(MDPI, 2023-07-10)
The term wasting refers to a clinical sign used to describe a physical condition characterized
by growth retardation, usually of multifactorial origin. The objective of the present study was to
describe ...
Annual short-burst mass anthelmintic administration reduces tuberculosis severity but not prevalence in a wildlife reservoir
(Frontiers Media, 2023-10-23)
Tuberculosis (TB), caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis
complex (MTC), is an important disease in both human and animal systems.
Helminths are commonly found in coinfection with MTC and TB is ...
Middle East respiratory coronavirus (MERS-CoV) internalized by llama alveolar macrophages does not result in virus replication or induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines
(Elsevier, 2024-03)
Severe Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) is characterized by massive infiltration of immune cells
in lungs. MERS-coronavirus (MERS-CoV) replicates in vitro in human macrophages, inducing high ...
Cross-neutralization activity against SARS-CoV-2 is present in currently available intravenous immunoglobulins
(Future Medicine, 2020-09-09)
Background: Cross-reactivity against human coronaviruses with Flebogamma® DIF and Gamunex®-C, two available intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), has been reported. In this study, these IVIG were tested ...
