Dual Host and Pathogen RNA-Seq Analysis Unravels Chicken Genes Potentially Involved in Resistance to Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza Virus Infection
(Frontiers Media, 2021-12-22)
Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs) cause severe systemic disease and high mortality rates in chickens, leading to a huge economic impact in the poultry sector. However, some chickens are ...
Swine Dendritic Cell Response to Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus: An Update
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-28)
Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, unique to initiate and coordinate the adaptive immune response. In pigs, conventional DCs (cDCs), plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), and ...
A 10-Year Retrospective Study of Inclusion Body Hepatitis in Meat-Type Chickens in Spain (2011–2021)
(MDPI, 2021-10-28)
A surge in fowl adenovirus (FAdV) causing inclusion body hepatitis (IBH) outbreaks has
occurred in several countries in the last two decades. In Spain, a sharp increase in case numbers in
broilers and ...
Development of a Dendrimeric Peptide-Based Approach for the Differentiation of Animals Vaccinated with FlagT4G against Classical Swine Fever from Infected Pigs
(MDPI, 2021-10-02)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) causes a viral disease of high epidemiological and
economical significance that affects domestic and wild swine. Control of the disease in endemic
countries is based ...
Identification of Promiscuous African Swine Fever Virus T-Cell Determinants Using a Multiple Technical Approach
(MDPI, 2021-01-07)
The development of subunit vaccines against African swine fever (ASF) is mainly hindered by the lack of knowledge regarding the specific ASF virus (ASFV) antigens involved in protection. As a good ...
Development of an antigen Enzyme-Linked AptaSorbent Assay (ELASA) for the detection of swine influenza virus in field samples
(Elsevier, 2021-08-09)
Influenza viruses are highly variable pathogens that infect a wide range of mammalian and avian species. According to the internal conserved proteins (nucleoprotein: NP, and matrix proteins: M), these ...
Biosecurity in pig farms: a review
(BMC, 2021-01-04)
The perception of the importance of animal health and its relationship with biosecurity has increased in recent years with the emergence and re-emergence of several diseases difficult to control. This ...
SARS-CoV-2 infection elicits a rapid neutralizing antibody response that correlates with disease severity
(Nature Research, 2021-01-28)
The protective effect of neutralizing antibodies in SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals is not yet well defined. To address this issue, we have analyzed the kinetics of neutralizing antibody responses and ...
A case of uterine inclusion cysts in a sow
(BMC, 2021-11-01)
Background: Serosal inclusion cysts are thin walled-structures located on the peritoneal surface of the uterus, frequently observed as multiple cystic structures in aggregates or grape-like clusters ...
Factors Associated with the Introduction of Mycobacterium avium spp. Paratuberculosis (MAP) into Dairy Herds in Galicia (North-West Spain): The Perception of Experts
(MDPI, 2021-01-12)
This study aimed at quantifying expert opinions on the risk factors involved in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infection in dairy cattle herds. For this purpose, potential risk factors ...
