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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
In vivo effect of deoxynivalenol (DON) naturally contaminated feed on porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection
(2014-12-05)
Deoxynivalenol (DON), also known as vomitoxin, is the most prevalent type B trichothecene mycotoxin worldwide. Pigs show a great sensitivity to DON, and because of the high proportion of grains in their diets, they are ...
Transcriptional approach to study porcine tracheal epithelial cells individually or dually infected with swine influenza virus and Streptococcus suis
(2014-04)
Background: Swine influenza is a highly contagious viral infection in pigs affecting the respiratory tract that can
have significant economic impacts. Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is one of the most important post-weaning ...
In Vitro Ketamine CYP3A Mediated Metabolism Study using Mammalian Liver S9 Fractions, cDNA Expressed Enzymes and Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry
(2014-12-01)
Ketamine is widely used in medicine in combination with several benzodiazepines including
midazolam. The objectives of this study were to develop a novel HPLC-MS/SRM method
capable of quantifying ketamine and norketamine ...
Microtubule disrupting N-phenyl-N’-(2-chloroethyl) ureas display anticancer activity on cell adhesion, P-glycoprotein and BCL-2-mediated drug resistance
(2014-04)
Objective: Our research program has focused on the development of promising, soft alkylating N-phenyl-N’-(2-chloroethyl)urea (CEU) compounds
which acylate the glutamic acid-198 of β-tubulin, near the binding site of ...
Evaluation of multiple reaction monitoring cubed for the analysis of tachykinin related peptides in rat spinal cord using a hybrid triple quadrupole–linear ion trap mass spectrometer
(2014-02)
Targeted peptide methods generally use HPLC-MS/MRM approaches. Although dependent on
the instrumental resolution, interferences may occur while performing analysis of complex
biological matrices. HPLC-MS/MRM3 is a ...
Postvaccinal reovirus infection with high mortality in breeder chicks
Postvaccinal reovirus infection in breeder chicks
(2014-12)
A broiler breeder flock was subcutaneously vaccinated at the hatchery with a live avian orthoreovirus (ARV) vaccine against viral arthritis. Chicks began to die at 3 days of age and postmortem examination revealed massive ...
