Unravelling the proteomic signature of extracellular vesicles released by drugresistant Leishmania infantum parasites
(Public library of science, 2020-07-06)Leishmaniasis constitutes the 9th largest disease burden among all infectious diseases. Control of this disease is based on a short list of chemotherapeutic agents headed by pentavalent antimonials, followed by miltefosine and amphotericin B; drugs ... -
Bird species involved in west nile virus epidemiological cycle in southern Québec
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)Despite many studies on West Nile Virus (WNV) in the US, including the reservoir role of bird species and the summer shifts of the Culex mosquito, feeding from birds to mammals, there have been few equivalent studies in the neighboring regions of ... -
Coinfections and their molecular consequences in the porcine respiratory tract
(BMC, 2020-06-16)Understudied, coinfections are more frequent in pig farms than single infections. In pigs, the term “Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex” (PRDC) is often used to describe coinfections involving viruses such as swine Influenza A Virus (swIAV), Porcine ... -
Capsaicin and Its analogues impede nocifensive response of caenorhabditis elegans to noxious heat
(2020-05-05)Capsaicin is the most abundant pungent molecule identifed in red chili peppers, and it is widely used for food favoring, in pepper spray for self-defense devices and recently in ointments for the relief of neuropathic pain. Capsaicin and several other ... -
Whole genome sequencing of an avipoxvirus associated with infections in a group of aviary-housed snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis)
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2020-01-09)Avipoxvirus infections have been reported in both free-ranging and domestic birds worldwide. Fowlpox and canarypox viruses belong to the genus Avipoxvirus among the virus family Poxviridae. They cause cutaneous lesions with proliferative growths on the ... -
Impaired EAT-4 vesicular glutamate transporter leads to defective nocifensive response of caenorhabditis elegans to noxious heat
(Springer, 2019-04-26)In mammals, glutamate is an important excitatory neurotransmitter. Glutamate and glutamate receptors are found in areas specifically involved in pain sensation, transmission and transduction such as peripheral nervous system, spinal cord and brain. ... -
Euthanasia and management of downer cows on farm : online survey
(2019-03)The goal of this survey is to make an inventory of the practices usedon farm to euthanize and manage downers and identify challenges producers face. Our aim is to assemble an overall and representative picture of current practices in order to better ... -
Euthanasie et gestion des bovins non-ambulatoires : sondage électronique
(2019-03)Ce sondage a comme objectif de répertorier les pratiques utilisées pour l’euthanasie et la gestion des bovins laitiers non-ambulatoires à la ferme ainsi que les défis rencontrés par les producteurs. Nous voulons dresser un portrait global et représentatif ... -

Mycobacterium xenopi systemic infection in a domestic fieryshouldered conure bird (Pyrrhura egregia)
(Microbiology Society, 2018-07)Introduction. Mycobacterium xenopi is a rare opportunistic pathogen mainly causing infections in immunocompromised human patients or those with underlying chronic structural lung disease. Cases of disease in veterinary medicine remain scarce. Few ... -
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 ... -
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) culture supernatant antiviral effect against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) occurs prior to the viral genome replication and transcription through actin depolymerization
(Microbiology Society, 2018-01-02)PURPOSE: Recently, the strong antiviral activity of an Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (App) culture supernatant against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) was discovered. Following this finding, the objective of the present ... -
Dual infections of CD163 expressing NPTr epithelial cells with influenza A virus and PRRSV
(2017-08)In the pig, respiratory co-infections involving various pathogens are far more frequent than single infections. Amongst respiratory viruses, swine influenza type A virus (swIAV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) are ... -
Whole genome sequencing of a Canadian Bovine gammaherpesvirus 4 strain and possible link between the viral infection and respiratory and reproductive clinical manifestations in dairy cattle
