Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which
causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle. Outbreaks involving either BTV ...
Characterization of homologous and heterologous adaptive immune responses in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(BMC, 2012-04-19)
The present study characterized the homologous and heterologous immune response in type-I porcine
reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. Two experiments were conducted: in ...
Conserved Synthetic Peptides from the Hemagglutinin of Influenza Viruses Induce Broad Humoral and T-Cell Responses in a Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-16)
Outbreaks involving either H5N1 or H1N1 influenza viruses (IV) have recently become an increasing threat to cause potential
pandemics. Pigs have an important role in this aspect. As reflected in the ...
Development of a new loop-mediated isothermal amplification test for the sensitive, rapid, and economic detection of different genotypes of Classical swine fever virus
(Frontiers Media, 2024-04-15)
Background: Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) remains one of the most
important pathogens in animal health. Pathogen detection relies on viral RNA
extraction followed by RT-qPCR. Novel technologies ...
VtaA8 and VtaA9 from Haemophilus parasuis delay phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages
(BMC, 2012-07-27)
Haemophilus parasuis, a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract
of healthy pigs and the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease. As other virulent ...
Leishmania Infection in Wild Lagomorphs and Domestic Dogs in North-East Spain
(MDPI, 2024-04-02)
Leishmania infantum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite distributed worldwide that is transmitted
by phlebotomine sandflies. Dogs are the main reservoir for human infections. However, in recent years,
the ...
Toxoplasma gondii in a Remote Subsistence Hunting-Based Indigenous Community of the Peruvian Amazon
(MDPI, 2024-04-26)
Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous zoonotic protozoan parasite that infects a wide variety
range of warm-blooded animals. This study describes the epidemiological scenario of T. gondii in
an indigenous ...
Differential interactions of virulent and non-virulent H. parasuis strains with naïve or swine influenza virus pre-infected dendritic cells
(BMC, 2012-11-16)
Pigs possess a microbiota in the upper respiratory tract that includes Haemophilus parasuis. Pigs are also considered
the reservoir of influenza viruses and infection with this virus commonly results ...
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(Public Library of Science, 2012-11-12)
Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are
scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ...
Nanoparticle-Based Secretory Granules Induce a Specific and Long-Lasting Immune Response through Prolonged Antigen Release
(MDPI, 2024-02-27)
Developing prolonged antigen delivery systems that mimic long-term exposure to pathogens
appears as a promising but still poorly explored approach to reach durable immunities. In this study,
we have ...
