(Elsevier, 2022-11-04)
A 10-year-old peach-faced lovebird (Agapornis roseicollis) was evaluated for an ulcerated and painful mass at the location of a fracture 2 years previously. Whole body radiographs showed a humeral ...
Deletion of the Gene for the Type I Interferon Inhibitor I329L from the Attenuated African Swine Fever Virus OURT88/3 Strain Reduces Protection Induced in Pigs
(MDPI, 2020-05-30)
Live attenuated vaccines are considered to be the fastest route to the development of a safe and efficacious African swine fever (ASF) vaccine. Infection with the naturally attenuated OURT88/3 strain ...
Systems analysis reveals complex biological processes during virus infection fate decisions
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2019-05-28)

Maternal Transmission Ratio Distortion in Two Iberian Pig Varieties
(MDPI, 2020-09-05)
Transmission ratio distortion (TRD) is defined as the allele transmission deviation from the heterozygous parent to the offspring from the expected Mendelian genotypic frequencies. Although TRD can be ...
Tracking Toxoplasma gondii in freshwater ecosystems: interaction with the invasive American mink (Neovison vison) in Spain
(Springer Verlag, 2018-05-21)
Water-borne transmission may play an important role in the epidemiology of Toxoplasma gondii. Mammals closely related to freshwater ecosystems, such as the American mink (Neovison vison), are potentially ...
Evaluation of the sensitivity of the classical swine fever surveillance system in two free zones in Colombia
(Wiley, 2021-04-01)
Infection with the Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV) causes a disease in pigs that ranges from a hyperacute form in which animals die in a few hours to subclinical disease. Due to this wide range of ...
