Capsular sialic acid of Streptococcus suis serotype 2 binds to swine influenza virus and enhances bacterial interactions with virus-infected tracheal epithelial cells
Wang, Yingchao; Gagnon, Carl A.; Savard, Christian; Music, Nedzad; Srednik, Mariela; Segura, Mariela; Lachance, Claude; Bellehumeur, Christian; Gottschalk, Marcelo (2013-12)Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important swine bacterial pathogen, and it is also an emerging zoonotic agent. It is unknown how S. suis virulent strains, which are usually found in low quantities in pig tonsils, manage to cross the first host ... -
Emergence of a New Swine H3N2 and Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 Influenza A Virus Reassortant in Two Canadian Animal Populations, Mink and Swine
Tremblay, Donald; Allard, Véronique; Doyon, Jean-François; Bellehumeur, Christian; Spearman, Grant; Harel, Josée; Gagnon, Carl A. (2011-12)A swine H3N2 (swH3N2) and pandemic (H1N1) 2009 (pH1N1) influenza A virus reassortant (swH3N2/ pH1N1) was detected in Canadian swine at the end of 2010. Simultaneously, a similar virus was also detected in Canadian mink based on partial viral genome ... -
Herpesviruses including novel gammaherpesviruses are widespread among phocid seal species in Canada
Bellehumeur, Christian; Nielsen, Ole; Measures, Lena; Harwood, Lois; Goldstein, Tracey; Boyle, Brian; Gagnon, Carl A. (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 ... -

Identification of a novel herpesvirus associated with a penile proliferative lesion in a beluga (Delphinapterus leucas)
Bellehumeur, Christian; Lair, Stéphane; Romero, Carlos H.; Provost, Chantale; Nielsen, Ole; Gagnon, Carl A. (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 ... -
Propidium monoazide (PMA) and ethidium bromide monoazide(EMA) improve DNA array and high-throughput sequencing ofporcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus identification
Bellehumeur, Christian; Boyle, Brian; Charette, Steve J.; Harel, Josée; L'Homme, Yvan; Masson, Luke; Gagnon, Carl A. (2015-09-15)Pan-viral DNA array (PVDA) and high-throughput sequencing (HTS) are useful tools to identify novel viruses of emerging diseases. However, both techniques have difficulties to identify viruses in clinical samples because of the host genomic nucleic acid ... -
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
Gagnon, Carl A.; Kist Traesel, Carolina; Music, Nedzad; Laroche, Jérôme; Tison, Nicolas; Auger, Jean-Philippe; Music, Sanela; Provost, Chantale; Bellehumeur, Christian; Abrahamyan, Levon; Carman, Susy; DesCôteaux, Luc; Charette, Steve J. (2017-06-16)Bovine gammaherpesvirus 4 (BoHV-4) is a herpesvirus widespread in cattle populations, and with no clear disease association. Its genome contains a long unique coding region (LUR) flanked by polyrepetitive DNA and 79 open reading frames (ORFs), with ...
