Evaluation of alpaca tracheal explants as an ex vivo model for the study of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection
(BMC, 2022-09-02)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) poses a serious threat to public health. Here, we established an ex vivo alpaca tracheal explant (ATE) model using an air-liquid interface culture ...
Optimising sewage sludge anaerobic digestion for resource recovery in wastewater treatment plants
(Elsevier, 2024-02-08)
Recovering resources from sludge generated during wastewater treatment is both an opportunity and a challenge. Thermophilic anaerobic digestion may optimise biogas production and digested sludge properties ...
Identification and Characterization of Swine Influenza Virus H1N1 Variants Generated in Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated, Challenged Pigs
(MDPI, 2021-10-16)
Influenza viruses represent a continuous threat to both animal and human health. The 2009 H1N1 A influenza pandemic highlighted the importance of a swine host in the adaptation of influenza viruses to ...
Effects of conditioning, source, and rest on indicators of stress in beef cattle transported by road
(Public Library of Science, 2021-01-12)
Consumers are increasingly concerned about the welfare of farm animals, especially during transportation. The Canadian transport regulations state that weaned cattle require an 8 h rest after 36 h of ...

(Wiley Open Access, 2021-12-07)
In this opinion, the antimicrobial-resistant bacteria responsible for transmissible diseases that constitute a threat to the health of sheep and goats have been assessed. The assessment has been performed ...
Porcine Protein Hydrolysates (PEPTEIVA®) Promote Growth and Enhance Systemic Immunity in Gilthead Sea Bream (Sparus aurata)
(MDPI, 2021-07-16)
The effects of porcine plasma protein hydrolysate (PPH) on growth, feed efficiency, and immune responses was evaluated in Sparus aurata. Fish were fed two isoproteic (48% protein), isolipidic (17% fat), ...
Global analysis of the association between pig muscle fatty acid composition and gene expression using RNA-Seq
(Nature Research, 2023-01-11)
Fatty acids (FAs) play an essential role as mediators of cell signaling and signal transduction, affecting metabolic homeostasis and determining meat quality in pigs. However, FAs are transformed by the ...
