Serpentoviruses: More than Respiratory Pathogens
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-08-31)
In recent years, nidoviruses have emerged as important respiratory pathogens of reptiles, affecting captive python populations. In pythons, nidovirus (recently reclassified as serpentovirus) infection ...
Piglet innate immune response to Streptococcus suis colonization is modulated by the virulence of the strain
(BMC, 2021-12-19)
Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic pathogen of swine involved in arthritis, polyserositis, and meningitis. Colonization of
piglets by S. suis is very common and occurs early in life. The clinical outcome ...
Immune responses following neonatal vaccination with conserved F4 fragment of VtaA proteins from virulent Glaesserella parasuis adjuvanted with CAF®01 or CDA
(Elsevier, 2023-06-10)
Glaesserella parasuis is a Gram-negative bacterium that colonizes the upper airways of swine, capable of causing a systemic infection called Glässer’s disease. This disease is more frequent in young ...
Neoplastic lesions in domestic pigs detected at slaughter: literature review and a 20-year review (1998–2018) of carcass inspection in Catalonia
(BMC, 2021-04-07)
Background: The present paper reviews the occurrence of neoplasms in swine and presents a case series of 56 tumors submitted to the Slaughterhouse Support Network (Servei de Suport a Escorxadors [SESC] ...
Zoo animals as sentinels for Schmallenberg virus monitoring in Spain
(Elsevier, 2020-11-11)
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a newly emerged vector-borne pathogen that affects many domestic and wild animal species. A serosurvey was carried out to assess SBV exposure in zoo animals in Spain and to ...
Experimental Inoculation of Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) in Pregnant Gilts Causes PCV-3-Associated Lesions in Newborn Piglets that Persist until Weaning
(Wiley, 2023-10-20)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been detected in cases of reproductive failure but the pathogenesis of such infection is poorly
understood. So far, experimental PCV-3 inoculations have been performed ...
The analysis of genome composition and codon bias reveals distinctive patterns between avian and mammalian circoviruses which suggest a potential recombinant origin for Porcine circovirus 3
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-29)
Members of the genus Circovirus are host-specific viruses, which are totally dependent on cell machinery for their replication. Consequently, certain mimicry of the host genome features is expected to ...
Animal models for COVID-19
(Nature Research, 2020-09-23)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the aetiological
agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging respiratory infection
caused by the introduction of a novel ...
Ingestion of foreign materials by odontocetes along the Catalan coast: causes and consequences
(Inter Research, 2020-11-05)
Ingestion of abnormal materials by cetaceans has been reported worldwide, but few studies have investigated the causes of foreign material ingestion. We retrospectively analysed necropsies performed ...
Protective efficacy of an RBD-based Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) particle vaccine in llamas
(BMC, 2022-06-24)
Ongoing outbreaks of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) continue posing a global health threat. Vaccination of livestock reservoir species is a recommended strategy to prevent spread ...
