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 ...

(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 ...
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 ...
