The endoparasite Perkinsus olseni affecting the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) in the Italian and Spanish waters: A new possible threat for mussel aquaculture and wild animal population
(Frontiers, 2023-02-24)
Dinoflagellates belonging to the Perkinsus genus are OIE (World Organization for animal Health)-listed pathogens extremely virulent for clams and oysters in many marine ecosystems throughout the world. ...
Bayesian hierarchical model for comparison of different nonlinear function and genetic parameter estimates of meat quails
(Oxford University Press, 2018-12-07)
This study aimed to compare different nonlinear functions to describe the growth curve of European quails and to estimate growth curve parameters, (co)variance components, and genetic and systematic ...
Transmission and immunopathology of the avian influenza virus A/Anhui/1/2013 (H7N9) human isolate in three commonly commercialized avian species
(Wiley, 2017-09-14)
H7N9 virus infection is a global concern, given that it can cause severe infection and mortality in humans. However, the understanding of H7N9 epidemiology, animal reservoir species and zoonotic risk ...
Epidemiological surveillance of Schmallenberg virus in small ruminants in southern Spain
(Wiley, 2020-10-09)
Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is an emerging Culicoides‐borne Orthobunyavirus that affects ruminant species. Between 2011 and 2013, it was responsible for a large‐scale epidemic in Europe. In the present ...
A Production Calendar Based on Water Temperature, Spat Size, and Husbandry Practices Reduce OsHV-1 μvar Impact on Cultured Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia), Mediterranean Coast of Spain
(Frontiers Media, 2017-03-03)
Since 2006, the production of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta area has dramatically declined from around 800 metric tons (MT) per year to 138 MT in 2011. This decline in production ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) genetic variability under natural infection scenario reveals a complex network of viral quasispecies
(Nature Research, 2018-10-19)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is a virus characterized by a high evolutionary rate, promoting the potential
emergence of diferent genotypes and strains. Despite the likely relevance in the emergence of ...
Zoonotic diseases: Can the transmission of pathogens between animals and humans be controlled?
(Universitat de Valencia, 2023-02-23)
After being associated with more than six million deaths so far, the Covid-19 pandemic is one of the worst diseases of animal origin known to date. Other zoonotic diseases such as severe acute respiratory ...
Cross-protection against African swine fever virus upon intranasal vaccination is associated with an adaptive-innate immune crosstalk
(Public Library of Science, 2022-11-09)
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is causing a worldwide pandemic affecting the porcine industry and leading to important global economic consequences. The virus causes a highly lethal hemorrhagic disease ...
XCR1+ DCs are critical for T cell-mediated immunotherapy of chronic viral infections
(Cell Press, 2023-02-14)
The contribution of cross-presenting XCR1+ dendritic cells (DCs) and SIRPα+ DCs in maintaining T cell function during exhaustion and immunotherapeutic interventions of chronic infections remains poorly ...
Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs
(BMC, 2021-10-24)
Background: The gut microbiota infuences host performance playing a relevant role in homeostasis and function of
the immune system. The aim of the present work was to identify microbial signatures ...
