Epidemiological study of Coxiella burnetii in dairy cattle and small ruminants in Québec, Canada
(Elsevier, 2021-04-25)
The bacterium Coxiella burnetii (C. burnetii) can infect a wide range of animals, most notably ruminants where it causes mainly asymptomatic infections and, when clinical, it is associated with reproductive disorders such ...
Eugenol and other vanilloids hamper caenorhabditis elegans response to noxious heat
(Springer, 2020-10-29)
Eugenol, a known vanilloid, was frequently used in dentistry as a local analgesic in addition, antibacterial and neuroprotective effects were also reported. Eugenol, capsaicin and many vanilloids are interacting with the ...
Comparison of primary virus isolation in pulmonary alveolar macrophages and four different continuous cell lines for type 1 and type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
(MDPI, 2021-06-03)
Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) has a highly restricted
cellular tropism. In vivo, the virus primarily infects tissue-specific macrophages in the nose, lungs,
tonsils, and pharyngeal lymphoid ...
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus whole-genome sequencing efficacy with field clinical samples using a poly(A)-tail viral genome purification method
(Sage, 2020-08-28)
The genomic surveillance of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is based on sequencing of the ORF5 gene of the virus, which covers only 4% of the entire viral genome. It is expected that PRRSV ...
Whole genome sequencing of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus 2 (PRRSV) from field clinical samples improves the genomic surveillance of the virus
(American society for microbiology, 2020-08-12)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) is a major
economic concern worldwide. There are currently large data sets available about the
ORF5 gene of the virus, with thousands of sequences available, ...
Cannflavins isolated from cannabis sativa impede caenorhabditis elegans response to noxious heat
(Springer, 2023-07-22)
Cannflavins, flavonoids abundantly present in Cannabis sativa, possess a distinct chemical structure comprising a vanillyl group. Notably, the capsaicin structure also contains a vanillyl group, which is considered essential ...
Prevalence of Coxiella burnetii seropositivity and shedding in farm, pet and feral cats and associated risk factors in farm cats in Quebec, Canada
(Cambridge University Press, 2021-02-02)
Cats represent a potential source of Coxiella burnetii, the aetiological agent of Q fever in humans. The prevalence and risk factors of C. burnetii infection in farm, pet and feral cats were studied in Quebec, Canada, using ...
Diagnosis and surgical management of cholecystolithiasis in two adult inland beardeddragons (pogona vitticeps)
(Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians, 2021-05-06)
Two male inland bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) of 5 and 6 yr of age were presented for anorexia
with and without lethargy, respectively. In both cases, a firm, spherical, and mobile mass, measuring 2
cm in diameter, ...
Coding-complete genome sequence of a Falcon aviadenovirus A strain associated with necrotizing hepatitis in an American Kestrel (Falco sparverius)
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-03-17)
A necropsy was performed on an American kestrel (Falco sparverius) with necrotizing hepatitis associated with inclusion bodies, suggesting an adenovirus infection. A next-generation sequencing assay was conducted on the ...
Mycobacterium xenopi systemic infection in a domestic fieryshouldered conure bird (Pyrrhura egregia)
(Microbiology Society, 2018-07)
Introduction. Mycobacterium xenopi is a rare opportunistic pathogen mainly causing infections in immunocompromised
human patients or those with underlying chronic structural lung disease. Cases of disease in veterinary ...
