Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(Public Library of Science, 2013-03-04)
Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ...
Protective effect of a polyvalent influenza DNA vaccine in pigs
(Elsevier, 2017-11-23)
Background: Influenza A virus in swine herds represents a major problem for the swine industry and poses a
constant threat for the emergence of novel pandemic viruses and the development of more effective ...
Genome Sequence of African Swine Fever Virus BA71, the Virulent Parental Strain of the Nonpathogenic and Tissue-Culture Adapted BA71V
(Public Library of Science, 2015-11-30)
The strain BA71V has played a key role in African swine fever virus (ASFV) research. It was the first genome sequenced, and remains the only genome completely determined. A large part of the studies on ...
Long-Term Dynamics of Bluetongue Virus in Wild Ruminants: Relationship with Outbreaks in Livestock in Spain, 2006-2011
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-18)
Wild and domestic ruminants are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection. Three BTV serotypes (BTV-4, BTV-1 and BTV-8) have been detected in Spain in the last decade. Even though control Strategies ...
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 ...
Scientific Opinion on the assessment of dairy cow welfare in small-scale farming systems
(Wiley, 2015-06-09)
This opinion reviews information on small-scale dairy cow farming systems in Europe, including the impact of production diseases on welfare of cows, and proposes a methodology for welfare assessment in ...
Border Disease Virus: An Exceptional Driver of Chamois Populations Among Other Threats
(Frontiers Media, 2015-12-18)
Though it is accepted that emerging infectious diseases are a threat to planet biodiversity, little information exists about their role as drivers of species extinction. Populations are also affected ...
The use of genome wide association methods to investigate pathogenicity, population structure and serovar in Haemophilus parasuis
(BMC, 2014-12-24)
Background: Haemophilus parasuis is the etiologic agent of Glässer’s disease in pigs and causes devastating losses to the farming industry. Whilst some hyper-virulent isolates have been described, the ...
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 ...
Neuroinvasion of the Highly Pathogenic Influenza Virus H7N1 Is Caused by Disruption of the Blood Brain Barrier in an Avian Model
(Public Library of Science, 2014-12-15)
Influenza A virus (IAV) causes central nervous system (CNS) lesions in avian and mammalian species, including humans. However, the mechanism used by IAV to invade the brain has not been determined. In ...
