Rapid SARS-CoV-2 Inactivation in a Simulated Hospital Room Using a Mobile and Autonomous Robot Emitting Ultraviolet-C Light
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11-20)
The spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) since 2019 has made mask-wearing, physical distancing, hygiene, and disinfection complementary measures to control virus ...
Serum haptoglobin dynamics in pigs vaccinated or not vaccinated against porcine circovirus type 2
(BMC, 2015-04-16)
The present work describes the serum haptoglobin (Hp) dynamics in piglets vaccinated and non-vaccinated with a commercial porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) vaccine at 3 weeks of age, and its relationship ...
The Role of Viral and Host MicroRNAs in the Aujeszky’s Disease Virus during the Infection Process
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-24)
Porcine production is a primary market in the world economy. Controlling swine diseases in the farm is essential in order to achieve the sector necessities. Aujeszky’s disease is a viral condition ...
Comparison of four lung scoring systems for the assessment of the pathological outcomes derived from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae experimental infections
(BMC, 2014-07-19)
Background: In this study, four lung lesion scoring methods (Slaughterhouse Pleurisy Evaluation System [SPES], Consolidation Lung Lesion Score [LLS], Image analyses [IA] and Ratio of lung weight/body ...
Severity of Bovine Tuberculosis Is Associated with Co-Infection with Common Pathogens in Wild Boar
(Public Library of Science, 2014-10-28)
Co-infections with parasites or viruses drive tuberculosis dynamics in humans, but little is known about their effects in other non-human hosts. This work aims to investigate the relationship between ...
Changes in Bacterial Population of Gastrointestinal Tract of Weaned Pigs Fed with Different Additives
(Hindawi, 2014-01-19)
This study aimed to provide novel insights into the gastrointestinal microbial diversity from different gastrointestinal locations in weaning piglets using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism ...
Live attenuated African swine fever viruses as ideal tools to dissect the mechanisms involved in viral pathogenesis and immune protection
(BMC, 2015-11-20)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causal agent of African swine fever, a hemorrhagic and often lethal porcine disease causing enormous economical losses in affected countries. Endemic for decades ...
Porcine circovirus 2 immunology and viral evolution
(BMC, 2015-11-19)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) has and is still causing important economic losses to pig industry. This is due to PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), formerly known as postweaning multi-systemic wasting ...
Pigs naturally exposed to porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) generate antibody responses capable to neutralise PCV2 isolates of different genotypes and geographic origins
(BMC, 2014-03-06)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential infectious agent for PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD, formerly known as postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome) and other pathological conditions. ...
Complex Links between Natural Tuberculosis and Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Infection in Wild Boar
(Hindawi, 2014-06-03)
Individuals in natural populations are exposed to a diversity of pathogens which results in coinfections. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between natural infection with tuberculosis ...
