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 ...
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 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Euthanasia and management of downer cows on farm : online survey
(2019-03)
The goal of this survey is to make an inventory of the practices usedon farm to euthanize and
manage downers and identify challenges producers face. Our aim is to assemble an overall and
representative picture of current ...
Euthanasie et gestion des bovins non-ambulatoires : sondage électronique
(2019-03)
Ce sondage a comme objectif de répertorier les pratiques utilisées pour l’euthanasie et la gestion
des bovins laitiers non-ambulatoires à la ferme ainsi que les défis rencontrés par les producteurs.
Nous voulons dresser ...
Impact of Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae biofilm mode of growth on the lipid A structures and stimulation of immune cells
(2016-05-25)
Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP), the etiologic agent of porcine pleuropneumonia, forms biofilms on biotic and abiotic surfaces. APP biofilms confers resistance to antibiotics. To our knowledge, no studies have examined ...
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 ...
