In vitro effect of deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication
(2014-03)
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp. Among monogastric farm animals,
swine are the most susceptible to DON as it markedly reduces feed intake and decreases weight gain.
DON has also been shown ...
Persistence of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and porcine circovirus type 2 in bacterial biofilms
(2015)
The aim of this pilot project was to investigate
association of viruses with bacterial
biofilms. Our preliminary data indicate that
important viral pathogens of swine, namely,
porcine reproductive and respiratory ...
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
(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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae Possesses an Antiviral Activity against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus
(2014-05)
Pigs are often colonized by more than one bacterial and/or viral species during respiratory tract infections. This
phenomenon is known as the porcine respiratory disease complex (PRDC). Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae ...
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 ...
Effect of deoxynivalenol (DON) mycotoxin on in vivo and in vitro porcine circovirus type 2 infections
(2015-04)
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp and is a common
contaminant of grains in North America. Among farm animals, swine are the most
susceptible to DON because it markedly reduces feed intake and ...
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(2016-05-25)
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, forms biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics. To our knowledge, no studies have examined ...
