(Scientific Reports, 2020-11-23)Vaccination of goats against tuberculosis (TB) has been promoted as an ancillary tool for controlling the disease in infected livestock herds. A three-year trial to assess the efficacy of BCG vaccine ... -
First identification and characterization of rotavirus H in swine in Spain
(Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2021-01-15)Rotaviruses (RVs) are classified into nine species or groups (RVA-RVD and RVF-RVJ). RVA, RVB and RVC are well-recognized as etiological agents of enteric disease on swine farms and have been identified ... -
Pathological findings in genital organs of bulls naturally infected with Besnoitia besnoiti
(Parasitology Research, 2020-05-26)Bulls chronically affected by bovine besnoitiosis can suffer from sterility. There is limited information about the distribution of Besnoitia cysts and their associated lesions within the male genital ... -
Determinants of the current and future distribution of the West Nile virus mosquito vector Culex pipiens in Spain
(Environmental Research, 2020-06-23)Changes in environmental conditions, whether related or not to human activities, are continuously modifying the geographic distribution of vectors, which in turn affects the dynamics and distribution ... -
Drought resistance in oat involves ABA-mediated modulation of transpiration and root hydraulic conductivity
(Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2020-11-30)Drought is one of the most important constraints to crop productivity worldwide. Control of plant responses to drought is very complex. The mechanisms and their intensity may differ between species ... -
Zoo animals as sentinels for Schmallenberg virus monitoring in Spain
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2020-11-11)Schmallenberg virus (SBV) is a newly emerged vector-borne pathogen that affects many domestic and wild animal species. A serosurvey was carried out to assess SBV exposure in zoo animals in Spain and to ... -
Live Attenuated African Swine Fever Viruses as Ideal Tools to Dissect the Mechanisms Involved in Cross-Protection
(Viruses, 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 ... -
Computational Analysis of African Swine Fever Virus Protein Space for the Design of an Epitope-Based Vaccine Ensemble
(Pathogens, 2020-12-21)African swine fever virus is the etiological agent of African swine fever, a transmissible severe hemorrhagic disease that affects pigs, causing massive economic losses. There is neither a treatment nor ... -
Pathobiology of the highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses H7N1 and H5N8 in different chicken breeds and role of Mx 2032 G/A polymorphism in infection outcome
(Veterinary Research, 2020-09-10)Chickens are highly susceptible to highly pathogenic avian infuenza viruses (HPAIVs). However, the severity of infec‑ tion varies depending of the viral strain and the genetic background of the host. ... -
Effects of Deoxynivalenol-Contaminated Diets on Metabolic and Immunological Parameters in Broiler Chickens
(Animals, 2021-01-11)The current study was conducted to examine the effects of deoxynivalenol (DON) at different levels (5 and 15 mg/kg feed) on the metabolism, immune response and welfare parameters of male broiler chickens ... -
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) population study in experimentally infected pigs developing PCV2-systemic disease or a subclinical infection
