Bird species involved in west nile virus epidemiological cycle in southern Québec
(MDPI, 2020-06-23)
Despite many studies on West Nile Virus (WNV) in the US, including the reservoir role of
bird species and the summer shifts of the Culex mosquito, feeding from birds to mammals, there have
been few equivalent studies in ...
Distinct miRNA profile of cellular and extracellular vesicles released from chicken tracheal cells following avian influenza virus infection
(MDPI, 2020-08-05)
Innate responses provide the first line of defense against viral infections, including the
influenza virus at mucosal surfaces. Communication and interaction between different host cells at
the early stage of viral ...
Prevalence of shedding and antibody to Coxiella burnetii in post-partum dairy cows and its association with reproductive tract diseases and performance : a pilot study
(Elsevier, 2020-12-10)
The bacterium Coxiella burnetii has been associated with reproduction disorders in dairy cattle. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Québec, Canada, to estimate the prevalence of C. burnetii in dairy cows from C. ...
Resiniferatoxin hampers the nocifensive response of Caenorhabditis elegans to noxious heat, and pathway analysis revealed that the Wnt signaling pathway is involved
(Springer, 2021-10-25)
Resiniferatoxin (RTX) is a metabolite extracted from Euphorbia resinifera. RTX is a potent capsaicin analog with specific biological activities resulting from its agonist activity with the transient receptor potential ...
Retrospective case control study of pet ferrets with cystine urolithiasis in Quebec, Canada : epidemiological and clinical features
(Insight medical publishing, 2021-02-01)
Objective: To describe epidemiological and clinical features of cystine urolithiasis
in pet ferrets.
Methods: Retrospective case control study on medical records from four private
clinics and one teaching hospital for ...
Whole genome sequencing of an avipoxvirus associated with infections in a group of aviary-housed snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis)
(American Association of Zoo Veterinarians, 2020-01-09)
Avipoxvirus infections have been reported in both free-ranging and domestic birds worldwide. Fowlpox and canarypox viruses belong to the genus Avipoxvirus among the virus family Poxviridae. They cause cutaneous lesions ...
Is nontargeted data acquisition for target analysis (nDATA) in mass spectrometry a forward-thinking analytical approach?
(Wiley, 2022-10-21)
Targeted mass spectrometry is extensively used for the quantitative measurement of various molecules present in complex matrices. It is certainly one of the most important analytical duties in a mass spectrometry laboratory. ...
Coinfections and their molecular consequences in the porcine respiratory tract
(BMC, 2020-06-16)
Understudied, coinfections are more frequent in pig farms than single infections. In pigs, the term “Porcine Respiratory Disease Complex” (PRDC) is often used to describe coinfections involving viruses such as swine Influenza ...
Chicken astrovirus (CAstV) molecular studies reveal evidence of multiple past recombination events in sequences originated from clinical samples of white chick syndrome (WCS) in Western Canada
(MDPI, 2020-09-28)
In this study, we aimed to molecularly characterize 14 whole genome sequences of chicken
astrovirus (CAstV) isolated from samples obtained from white chick syndrome (WCS) outbreaks
in Western Canada during the period of ...
The administration of diets contaminated with low to intermediate doses of deoxynivalenol and supplemented with antioxidants and binding agents slightly affects the growth, antioxidant status and vaccine response in weanling pigs
(Oxford University Press, 2021-08-18)
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of grading levels of deoxynivalenol (DON) in the diet of weaned pigs, as well as the effects of a supplementation with antioxidants (AOX), hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicates ...
