The fecal presence of enterotoxin and F4 genes as an indicator of efficacy of treatment with colistin sulfate in pigs
(2017)Background : Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) strains producing multiple enterotoxins are important causes of post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in pigs. The aim of the present study was to investigate the fecal presence of ETEC enterotoxin as well ... -
First report and genomic characterization of a bovine-like coronavirus causing enteric infection in an odd-toed non ruminant species (Indonesian tapir, Acrocodia indica) during an outbreak of winter dysentery in a zoo
(Wiley, 2021-08-24)Bovine Coronavirus (BCoV) is associated with three distinct clinical syndromes in cattle i.e. neonatal diarrhea, hemorrhagic diarrhea in adults (the so-called winter dysentery syndrome, WD) and respiratory infections in cattle of different ages. In ... -
First report of the novel atypical porcine pestivirus in piglets with congenital tremor in Canada
Premier cas rapporté du nouveau pestivirus atypique porcin au Canada chez des porcelets avec tremblements congénitaux.
(Association canadienne des médecins vétérinaires, 2018-04)Two 2-year-old nursing piglets with congenital tremor were submitted for postmortem examination. Histopathology revealed severe hypomyelination in the spinal cord and quantitative real-time PCR detected the presence of atypical porcine pestivirus ... -
First report of Ureaplasma diversum, a bovine pathogen, in the respiratory tract of swine in Canada
(Association canadienne des médecins vétérinaires, 2018-12) -

FosteraTM PRRS modified live vaccine efficacy against a Canadian heterologous virulent field strain of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV)
(2016-01-01)Vaccination is a useful option to control infection with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), and several modified live-PRRSV vaccines have been developed. These vaccines have shown some efficacy in reducing the incidence and ... -
Gastric stability and oral bioavailability of colistin sulfate in pigs challenged or not with Escherichia coli O149: F4 (K88)
(2015-10)The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro gastric stability of colistin sulfate (CS) and its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and to study the impact of ETEC O149: F4 (K88) infection in pigs on CS intestinal absorption. ... -
Genetic diversity of group A rotavirus in swine in Canada
(2014-01-09)Group A rotaviruses (RVA) in pigs have been poorly investigated in Canada. In a continued effort to fill this gap, ten finisher swine farms in Quebec, Canada, were sampled over a nine-month period. The presence of RVA was detected in healthy pigs on ... -
Genetic diversity of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae isolates of abattoir pigs
(2014-01)Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae, the causative agent of porcine enzootic pneumonia, is present in swine herds worldwide. However, there is little information on strains infecting herds in Canada. A total of 160 swine lungs with lesions suggestive of enzootic ... -

Genotyping of Infectious Laryngotracheitis Virus (ILTV) isolates from Western Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia based on partial Open Reading Frame (ORF) a and b
(MDPI, 2020-09-11)Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) causes an acute upper respiratory disease in chickens called infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT). Live attenuated vaccines are effective in disease control; however, they have residual virulence, which makes ... -
Geographical and temporal distribution of human giardiasis in Ontario, Canada
(2003)BACKGROUND:Giardia is the most frequently identified intestinal parasite in North America. Although information on geographical distribution of giardiasis is critical in identifying communities at high risk, little has been done in this area. Therefore, ... -
Herpesviruses including novel gammaherpesviruses are widespread among phocid seal species in Canada
(2016-01-01)Little is known about herpesviruses in Canadian pinnipeds. We measured prevalence of antibodies to herpesviruses in the sera from Canadian phocid seals by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Wild harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) and captive ... -

Host immune response modulation in avian coronavirus infection : tracheal transcriptome profiling in vitro and in vivo
(MDPI, 2024-04-14)Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) is a highly contagious Gammacoronavirus causing moderate to severe respiratory infection in chickens. Understanding the initial antiviral response in the respiratory mucosa is crucial for controlling viral spread. We ... -
Identification of a new cell line permissive to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection and replication which is phenotypically distinct from MARC-145 cell line
(2012-11)Background Airborne transmitted pathogens, such as porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV), need to interact with host cells of the respiratory tract in order to be able to enter and disseminate in the host organism. Pulmonary ... -
Identification of a novel herpesvirus associated with a penile proliferative lesion in a beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)
(2015-01)The carcass of an adult male beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) was found beach cast in 2008 on the shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary at Rivière-Ouelle, Quebec, Canada. The carcass was transported to the Faculté de médecine vétérinaire of the Université ... -
Identification of a novel herpesvirus associated with cutaneous ulcers in a fisher (Martes pennanti)
(2011-09)On December 8, 2008, a male fisher (Martes pennanti) housed in a quarantine enclosure at the St-Félicien Zoo was found dead with multiple skin ulcers on the muzzle and plantar pads. At necropsy, no major findings were found, and a specific cause of ... -
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(SAGE, 2016-05-25)Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, forms biofilms on both biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the role of APP ...
