Porcine circovirus type 3: a threat to the pig industry?
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-01-19)
The recent discovery of porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) has caused some concern among field veterinarians and brought the attention of the scientific world, likely because of some similarities with porcine ...
Distribution patterns of influenza virus receptors and viral attachment patterns in the respiratory and intestinal tracts of seven avian species
(BMC, 2012-04-10)
This study assessed the presence of sialic acid α-2,3 and α-2,6 linked glycan receptors in seven avian species. The
respiratory and intestinal tracts of the chicken, common quail, red-legged partridge, ...
Protective Immunity to Listeria Monocytogenes Infection Mediated by Recombinant Listeria innocua Harboring the VGC Locus
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-19)
In this study we propose a novel bacterial vaccine strategy where non-pathogenic bacteria are complemented with traits
desirable for the induction of protective immunity. To illustrate the proof of ...
Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which
causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle. Outbreaks involving either BTV ...
Characterization of homologous and heterologous adaptive immune responses in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(BMC, 2012-04-19)
The present study characterized the homologous and heterologous immune response in type-I porcine
reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. Two experiments were conducted: in ...
Conserved Synthetic Peptides from the Hemagglutinin of Influenza Viruses Induce Broad Humoral and T-Cell Responses in a Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-16)
Outbreaks involving either H5N1 or H1N1 influenza viruses (IV) have recently become an increasing threat to cause potential
pandemics. Pigs have an important role in this aspect. As reflected in the ...
VtaA8 and VtaA9 from Haemophilus parasuis delay phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages
(BMC, 2012-07-27)
Haemophilus parasuis, a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract
of healthy pigs and the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease. As other virulent ...
Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells
(BMC, 2012-11-16)
Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered
the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results ...
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11-12)
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are
scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ...
Risk of introduction of lumpy skin disease in France by the import of vectors in animal trucks
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-11)
The lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV) is a dsDNA virus belonging to the Poxviridae family and the Capripoxvirus genus. Lumpy skin diseases (LSD) is a highly contagious transboundary disease in cattle ...
