Heterogeneous pathological outcomes after experimental pH1N1 influenza infection in ferrets correlate with viral replication and host immune responses in the lung
(BMC, 2014-08-28)
The swine-origin pandemic (p) H1N1 influenza A virus causes mild upper-respiratory tract disease in most human patients. However, some patients developed severe lower-respiratory tract infections with ...
Biofilm formation by virulent and non-virulent strains of Haemophilus parasuis
(BMC, 2014-11-27)
Haemophilus parasuis is a commensal bacterium of the upper respiratory tract of healthy pigs. It is also the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease, a systemic disease characterized by polyarthritis, ...
Towards the PCR-based identification of Palaearctic Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae): results from an international ring trial targeting four species of the subgenus Avaritia
(BMC, 2014-05-14)
Background: Biting midges of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) are biological vectors of
internationally important arboviruses. To understand the role of Culicoides in the transmission ...
The NS segment of H5N1 avian influenza viruses (AIV) enhances the virulence of an H7N1 AIV in chickens
(BMC, 2014-01-25)
Some outbreaks involving highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) of subtypes H5 and H7 were caused by avian-to-human transmissions. In nature, different influenza A viruses can reassort leading ...
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 ...
Gnetic analysis of growth traits in the progeny of rabbit does from a diallel cross
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2015-12-23)
An experiment was carried out to estimate the genetic group effects and the crossbreeding genetic
parameters of growth traits [body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (FI) and feed ...
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 ...
Development and validation of a genotype 3 recombinant protein-based immunoassay for hepatitis E virus serology in swine
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2014-03-21)
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is classified within the family Hepeviridae, genus Hepevirus. HEV genotype 3 (Gt3) infections are endemic in pigs in Western Europe and in North and South America and cause ...
Circulation of a Meaban-Like Virus in Yellow-Legged Gulls and Seabird Ticks in the Western Mediterranean Basin
(Public Library of Science, 2014-03-13)
In recent years, a number of zoonotic flaviviruses have emerged worldwide, and wild birds serve as their major reservoirs. Epidemiological surveys of bird populations at various geographical scales can ...
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 ...
