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 ...
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 ...
Regulation of granulosa cells during follicular development and ovulation
(2021-04-08)
L'efficacité de la reproduction bovine a considérablement diminué dans les dernières décennies et cette diminution constitue un problème économique majeur. Pour mieux contrer ce problème, la physiologie des cellules ...
Euthanasia in laboratory rodents : alternatives to intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital
(2021-01-14)
L'utilisation du pentobarbital de sodium (PB), injecté par voie intrapéritonéale (IP), est décrite comme une technique acceptable par les directives d'euthanasie de l'AVMA et du CCPA pour tuer les rongeurs. Cependant, de ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
