Antimicrobial resistance profiles and characterization of Escherichia coli strains from cases of neonatal diarrhea in Spanish pig farms
(MDPI, 2020-04-21)
Escherichia coli is considered one of the most common agents associated with neonatal diarrhea in piglets. The aim of this work was to characterize the pathogenic and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) ...
Live Attenuated African Swine Fever Viruses as Ideal Tools to Dissect the Mechanisms Involved in Cross-Protection
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)
African swine fever (ASF) has become the major threat for the global swine industry. Furthermore, the epidemiological situation of African swine fever virus (ASFV) in some endemic regions of Sub-Saharan ...
Risk factors associated withStreptococcus suiscases on pigfarms in Spain
(Wiley, 2023-06-03)
Background
Streptococcus suis can cause meningitis, polyarthritis and acute death in piglets. However, the risk factors associated with S. suis infection remain incompletely understood. Therefore, a ...
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 ...
Modeling the impact of surveillance activities combined with physical distancing interventions on COVID-19 epidemics at a local level
(KeAi Communications, 2022-11-17)
Physical distancing and contact tracing are two key components in controlling the COVID-
19 epidemics. Understanding their interaction at local level is important for policymakers.
We propose a flexible ...
Assessing the role of livestock and sympatric wild ruminants in spreading antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter and Salmonella in alpine ecosystems
(BMC, 2021-02-15)
Background: Livestock play an important role as reservoir of enteric pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a health and economic concern worldwide. However, little is known regarding the ...
Exploratory field study on the effects of porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) sow vaccination at different physiological stages mimicking blanket vaccination
(BMC, 2021-04-26)
Background: The objective of the present study was to explore the benefits of Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) blanket vaccination in a sow herd on productive parameters, PCV-2 infection and immune status ...
Novel Spike-stabilized trimers with improved production protect K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters from the highly pathogenic SARS-CoV-2 Beta variant
(Frontiers Media, 2023-12-04)
Most COVID-19 vaccines are based on the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein (S) or
their subunits. However, S shows some structural instability that limits its
immunogenicity and production, hampering the ...
First identification and characterization of ovine gammaherpesvirus type 2 in horses and artiodactyla from an outbreak of malignant catarrhal fever in Mexico
(Public Library of Science, 2023-09-01)
Ovine gammaherpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2), a member of the genus Macavirus, causes sheepassociated malignant catarrhal fever (SA-MCF), a fatal lymphoproliferative disease affecting
a wide variety of ungulates ...
The feather epithelium contributes to the dissemination and ecology of clade 2.3.4.4b H5 high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses in ducks
(Taylor and Francis, 2023-11-03)
Immature feathers are known replication sites for high pathogenicity avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) in poultry.
However, it is unclear whether feathers play an active role in viral transmission. This ...
