Evolutionary-Related High- and Low-Virulent Classical Swine Fever Virus Isolates Reveal Viral Determinants of Virulence
(MDPI, 2024-01-19)
Classical swine fever (CSF) has been eradicated from Western and Central Europe but
remains endemic in parts of Central and South America, Asia, and the Caribbean. CSF virus
(CSFV) has been endemic ...
Integrating genome-wide co-association and gene expression to identify putative regulators and predictors of feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-09-02)
Background: Feed efciency (FE) has a major impact on the economic sustainability of pig production. We used a
systems‑based approach that integrates single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) co‑association ...
Identification of Plitidepsin as Potent Inhibitor of SARS-CoV-2-Induced Cytopathic Effect After a Drug Repurposing Screen
(Frontiers Media, 2021-03-25)
There is an urgent need to identify therapeutics for the treatment of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although different antivirals are given for the clinical management of SARS-CoV-2 infection, ...
Neuropathogenesis of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H7N1) in experimentally infected chickens
(BMC, 2011-10-07)
In order to understand the mechanism of neuroinvasion of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) into
the central nervous system (CNS) of chickens, specific pathogen free chickens were ...
Longitudinal analysis of direct and indirect effects on average daily gain in rabbits using a structured antedependence model
(BMC, 2018-05-10)
Background: Indirect genetic efects (IGE) are important components of various traits in several species. Although
the intensity of social interactions between partners likely vary over time, very few ...
Identification of an Immunosuppressive Cell Population during Classical Swine Fever Virus Infection and Its Role in Viral Persistence in the Host
(MDPI, 2019-09-04)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains a highly important pathogen, causing major
losses in the swine industry. Persistent infection is highly relevant for CSFV maintenance in the field;
however, ...
Characterization of Salmonella Frintrop isolated from dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)
(Wiley, 2020-07-17)
Different studies have reported the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Salmonella in dromedary camels and its role in camelid‐associated salmonellosis in humans, but little is known about the ...
Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European local pig breeds assessed with a high density SNP chip
(Nature Research, 2019-09-19)
Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity ...
Systemic CD4 cytotoxic T cells improve protection against PRRSV-1 transplacental infection
(Frontiers Media, 2023-01-17)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the major swine pathogens causing reproductive failure in sows. Although modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines are available, ...
Environmental heterogeneity and variations in the velocity of bluetongue virus spread in six European epidemics
(Elsevier, 2017-11-04)
Several epidemics caused by different bluetongue virus (BTV) serotypes occurred in European ruminants since the early 2000. Studies on the spatial distribution of these vector-borne infections and the ...
