Type I and III IFNs produced by the nasal epithelia and dimmed inflammation are features of alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection
(Public Library of Science, 2021-05-24)
While MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome Coronavirus) provokes a lethal disease in humans, camelids, the main virus reservoir, are asymptomatic carriers, suggesting a crucial role for innate ...
Co-expression network analysis predicts a key role of microRNAs in the adaptation of the porcine skeletal muscle to nutrient supply
(BMC, 2020-01-17)
Background
The role of non-coding RNAs in the porcine muscle metabolism is poorly understood, with few studies investigating their expression patterns in response to nutrient supply. Therefore, we aimed ...
Immunogenicity and protection against Mycobacterium caprae challenge in goats vaccinated with BCG and revaccinated after one year
(MDPI, 2020-12-10)
Vaccination has been proposed as a supplementary tool for the control of tuberculosis in livestock. The long-term immunogenicity elicited by bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) and the efficacy of revaccination ...
Evaluation of the capability of the PCV2 genome to encode miRNAs: lack of viral miRNA expression in an experimental infection
(BMC, 2015-05-01)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a ssDNA virus causing PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD), one of the most important diseases in swine. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a new class of small non-coding RNAs that ...
Effect of a recent parenteral dexamethasone and ketoprofen administration on the immunological diagnosis of tuberculosis in goats
(Frontiers Media, 2022-11-10)
Caprine tuberculosis (TB) is a zoonosis caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC). Caprine TB eradication programmes are based mainly on intradermal tuberculin tests and ...
Efficacy of a live attenuated vaccine in classical swine fever virus postnatally persistently infected pigs
(BMC, 2015-07-09)
Classical swine fever (CSF) causes major losses in pig farming, with various degrees of disease severity. Efficient live attenuated vaccines against classical swine fever virus (CSFV) are used routinely ...
Usefulness of Eurasian Magpies (Pica pica) for West Nile virus Surveillance in Non-Endemic and Endemic Situations
(MDPI, 2019-08-05)
In September 2017, passive surveillance allowed the detection of West Nile virus (WNV)
lineage 2 for the first time in northern Spain in a northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis). However,
a cross ...
Experimental and field investigations of exposure, replication and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in pigs in the Netherlands
(Taylor & Francis Open Access, 2021-12-21)
In order to assess the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, transmission and reservoir development in swine, we combined results of an experimental and two observational studies. First, intranasal and intratracheal ...
Identification of Single Amino Acid Changes in the Rift Valley Fever Virus Polymerase Core Domain Contributing to Virus Attenuation In Vivo
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04-28)
Rift Valley fever (RVF) is an arboviral zoonotic disease affecting many African countries with
the potential to spread to other geographical areas. RVF affects sheep, goats, cattle and
camels, causing ...
Closing nutrient loops in a maize rotation. Catch crops to reduce nutrient leaching and increase biogas production by anaerobic co-digestion with dairy manure
(Elsevier, 2021-04-18)
Three catch crop species, ryegrass, forage rape and black oat, were grown between successive rotations of maize to reduce nitrogen leaching due to maize fertilization with digested dairy manure. Catch ...
