Impact of deoxynivalenol (DON) contaminated feed on intestinal integrity and immune response in swine
(Elsevier, 2015-02-17)
This study was performed to characterize the influence of consuming DON naturally contaminated feeds on pig's intestinal immune defenses, antibody response and cellular immunity. Sixteen 4-week-old piglets were randomly ...
Extensive characterization of Campylobacter jejuni chicken isolates to uncover genes involved in the ability to compete for gut colonization
(2015-05)
Background: Campylobacter jejuni is responsible for human foodborne enteritis. This bacterium is a remarkable
colonizer of the chicken gut, with some strains outcompeting others for colonization. To better understand ...
Chicken Caecal Microbiome Modifications Induced by Campylobacter jejuni Colonization and by a Non-Antibiotic Feed Additive
(2015-07)
Campylobacter jejuni is an important zoonotic foodborne pathogen causing acute gastroenteritis
in humans. Chickens are often colonized at very high numbers by C. jejuni, up to 109
CFU per gram of caecal content, with no ...
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae induces SJPL cell cycle arrest in G2/M-phase and inhibits porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus replication
(2015-12)
Background: Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is one of the most important pathogens
in the swine industry and causes important economic losses. No effective antiviral drugs against it are ...
Tachykinins Processing is Significantly Impaired in PC1 and PC2 Mutant Mouse Spinal Cord S9 Fractions
(2015-11-01)
Substance P (SP) play a central role in nociceptive transmission and it is an agonist of the
Neurokinin-1 receptor located in the lamina I of the spinal cord. SP is a major proteolytic product
of the protachykinin-1 ...
Gastric stability and oral bioavailability of colistin sulfate in pigs challenged or not with Escherichia coli O149: F4 (K88)
(2015-10)
The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro gastric stability of colistin sulfate (CS) and its antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and to study the impact of ETEC O149: F4 (K88) infection in ...
Assessment of meat authenticity using bioinformatics, targeted peptide biomarkers and high-resolution mass spectrometry
(2015-10-01)
In recent years, we observed a significant increase of food fraud ranging from false label claims to the use of additives and fillers to increase profitability. Recently in 2013, horse and pig DNA were detected in beef ...
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 ...
Exposure of feral swine (Sus scrofa) in the United States to selected pathogens
(2015-01)
Les porcs sauvages (Sus scrofa) sont largement distribués aux États-Unis. En 2011 et 2012, aux États-Unis des échantillons de sérum
et d’amygdales furent obtenus de 162 et 37 porcs sauvages, respectivement, afin d’évaluer ...
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 ...
