Quantification of camelid cytokine mRNA expression in PBMCs by microfluidic qPCR technology
(Elsevier, 2023-09-17)
Camelids are economically and socially important in several parts of the world and might carry pathogens with
epizootic or zoonotic potential. However, biological research in these species is limited ...
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Wiley, 2021-01-12)
While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ...
Impact of genetic diversity and antibiotic-resistance of Salmonella isolated from feral cats: One Health approach
(Elsevier, 2023-08-29)
Free-living cats usually live in colonies in urban areas, especially close to parks and neighbourhoods where
people feed them without any sanitary control. This can pose a human, animal and environmental ...
Network analysis of pig movements in Argentina: Identification of key farms in the spread of infectious diseases and their biosecurity levels
(Wiley, 2019-11-29)
This study uses network analysis to evaluate how swine movements in Argentina could contribute to disease spread. Movement data for the 2014–2017 period were obtained from Argentina's online livestock ...
Revisiting the genetic diversity of classical swine fever virus: A proposal for new genotyping and subgenotyping schemes of classification
(Wiley, 2018-05-25)
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a highly contagious febrile viral disease caused by CSF virus (CSFV), and it is considered one of the most important infectious diseases that affect domestic pigs and wild ...
