Fecal microbiota transplantation from warthog to pig confirms the influence of the gut microbiota on African swine fever susceptibility
(Nature Research, 2020-10-19)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the causative agent of a devastating hemorrhagic disease (ASF) that affects both domestic pigs and wild boars. Conversely, ASFV circulates in a subclinical manner in ...
Sirolimus enhances the protection achieved by a DNA vaccine against Leishmania infantum
(BMC, 2020-06-09)
Background
Leishmaniases are a group of neglected tropical parasitic diseases, mainly affecting vulnerable populations of countries with poor socioeconomic status. Development of efficient vaccines is ...
A retrospective study of porcine epidemic diarrhoea virus (PEDV) reveals the presence of swine enteric coronavirus (SeCoV) since 1993 and the recent introduction of a recombinant PEDV‐SeCoV in Spain
(Wiley, 2020-06-08)
A retrospective evaluation of PEDV positive samples recovered in Spain before and after the re‐emergence of this coronavirus in several European countries was carried out. We described for the first ...
Activation of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses in lung tissue injury during the acute phase of PRRSV-1 infection with the virulent strain Lena
(Elsevier, 2020-06-02)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) plays a key role in porcine respiratory disease complex modulating the host immune response and favouring secondary bacterial infections. ...
Development of a quantitative risk assessment of bovine viral diarrhea virus and bovine herpesvirus-1 introduction in dairy cattle herds to improve biosecurity
(American Dairy Science Association, 2020-04-29)
A quantitative risk assessment model was developed to estimate the annual probability of introducing bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) and bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV-1) at the farm level through animal ...
Laboratory colonization and maintenance of Anopheles atroparvus from the Ebro Delta, Spain
(BMC, 2020-08-03)
Background: Historically, Anopheles atroparvus has been considered one of the most important malaria vectors in
Europe. Since malaria was eradicated from the European continent, the interest in studying ...
The use of H-index to assess research priorities in poultry diseases
(Elsevier, 2020-09-15)
Identifying which diseases represent a priority is crucial to optimize resources for diagnostics, control, and prevention. Here, the impact of 111 poultry pathogens belonging to Viruses (n = 31), Bacteria ...
Ruminant pestiviruses in North Africa
(Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
Ruminant pestiviruses are widely distributed worldwide, causing congenital disease and massive economic losses. Although ruminant production is an important economic sector in North Africa, the knowledge ...
A neutralizing monoclonal antibody-based competitive ELISA for classical swine fever C-strain post–vaccination monitoring
(BMC, 2020-01-14)
Background: Virus neutralization test (VNT) is widely used for serological survey of classical swine fever (CSF) and efficacy evaluation of CSF vaccines. However, VNT is a time consuming procedure that ...
Pigs are not susceptible to SARS‐CoV‐2 infection but are a model for viral immunogenicity studies
(Wiley, 2020-10-02)
Conventional piglets were inoculated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) through different routes, including intranasal, intratracheal, intramuscular and intravenous ones. ...
