Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023-02-07)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended ...
A cross-specific multiplicative binomial recursive model for the analysis of perinatal mortality in a diallel cross among three varieties of Iberian pig
(Nature Research, 2020-12-03)
Perinatal piglet mortality is an important factor in pig production from economic and animal welfare
perspectives; however, the statistical analysis of mortality is difcult because of its categorical ...
Classical BSE prions emerge from asymptomatic pigs challenged with atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(Nature Research, 2021-08-31)
Pigs are susceptible to infection with the classical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (C-BSE) agent following experimental inoculation, and PrPSc accumulation was detected in porcine tissues after the ...
Increasing breast milk betaine modulates Akkermansia abundance in mammalian neonates and improves long-term metabolic health
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-03-31)
Accelerated postnatal growth is a potentially modifiable risk factor for future obesity. To study how specific breast milk components contribute to early growth and obesity risk, we quantified one-carbon ...
Morphological description of the midgut tract and midgut–hindgut junction in the larvae of the spider crab Maja brachydactyla Balss, 1922 (Malacostraca: Decapoda)
(Elsevier, 2022-07-12)
The midgut tract of decapods is a digestive organ involved in the synthesis of peritrophic membrane, food transport, absorption of nutrients, and osmoregulation. The midgut tract has been described in ...
Frequency of PCV-2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status
(BMC, 2024-01-16)
Background Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‑2) poses a signifcant economic threat for the swine industry, causing a range
of diseases collectively referred to as porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs). Despite ...
A multiplier peroxiporin signal transduction pathway powers piscine spermatozoa
(National Academy of Sciences, 2021-03-09)
The primary task of a spermatozoon is to deliver its nuclear payload to the egg to form the next-generation zygote. With polyandry repeatedly evolving in the animal kingdom, however, sperm competition ...
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
In the present study, we propose the use of swabs in non-lethal sampling procedures to collect the mucosa-adhered gut microbiota from the posterior intestine of fish, and therefore, we compare the ...
Gut‑associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
(Nature Research, 2024-04-11)
The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota
composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its diferent members. Eforts ...
A proof‑of‑concept study to investigate the efficacy of heat‑inactivated autovaccines in Mycobacterium caprae experimentally challenged goats
(Nature Research, 2022-12-22)
This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium caprae (HIMC) vaccine in goats experimentally challenged with the same strain of M. caprae. Twenty-one goats were divided into ...
