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 ...
Case Report: Esophagitis and pharyngitis associated with avian infectious laryngotracheitis in backyard chickens: 2 cases
(2017-06)
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a contagious viral respiratory disease of great economic importance for the global poultry industry caused by Gallid herpesvirus 1 (GaHV-1). Lesions of the upper digestive tract caused ...
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 ...
Dual infections of CD163 expressing NPTr epithelial cells with influenza A virus and PRRSV
(2017-08)
In the pig, respiratory co-infections involving various pathogens are far more frequent than single infections.
Amongst respiratory viruses, swine influenza type A virus (swIAV) and porcine reproductive and respiratory
syndrome ...
The role of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus structural and non-structural proteins in virus pathogenesis
(2010)
Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is an economically devastating viral
disease affecting the swine industry worldwide. The etiological agent, PRRS virus (PRRSV),
possesses a RNA viral genome with nine ...
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 ...
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 ...
