The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of pre-infection with bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) on thymus immune cells from calves challenged with bovine herpesvirus 1 (BHV-1). Twelve Friesian calves, aged 8 to 9 months, were inoculated with non-cytopathic BVDV-1. Ten of them were...

Overlapping between wildlife and domestic species implies the risk of disease transmission. In Argentina, the wild pig (Sus scrofa) is a widespread invasive species. Sus scrofa wild populations are descendants from domestic pigs released during colonisation and Eurasian wild boars released for...

Pigs (Sus scrofa) were introduced to Guam in the 1600's and are now present in high densities throughout the island. Wild pigs are reservoirs for pathogens of concern to domestic animals and humans. Exposure to porcine parvovirus, transmissible gastroenteritis, and Leptospira interrogans has been...

An approximately 3,000 finishing swine operation in the United States experienced an outbreak of an atypical neurologic disease in 11-weeks-old pigs with an overall morbidity of 20% and case fatality rate of 30%. The clinical onset and progression of signs in affected pigs varied but included...

Although equine herpesvirus myeloencephalopathy (EHM) is a sporadic and relatively uncommon manifestation of equine herpesvirus-1 (EHV-1), it has the potential for causing devastating outbreaks in horses. Up till now, there were no reported EHM outbreaks in donkeys and mules. This study describes...

This study represents the first swine transcriptome hive plots created from gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) data and provides a novel insight into the global transcriptome changes occurring in tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN) and spanning the swine genome. RNA isolated from draining TBLN...

Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are causing increasing ecologic and economic damage at a global scale. Because wild pigs can carry ≥65 diseases that affect livestock, their widespread expansion threatens native wildlife and livestock. We screened wild pigs from south-central Oklahoma, US for antibodies...

Introduction: Aujeszky's disease (AD), most often related to infection of domestic and feral swine, may also concern other mammals, including dogs. The disease in carnivores, related to consumption of raw meat or offal contaminated with AD virus, is manifested by severe neurological disorders and...

This supplement presents 21 studies on viral diseases by Colombian researchers. The topics discussed are: clinical descriptions (varicella, dengue); molecular epidemiology (Chikungunya virus, human papillomaviruses, hepatitis B); differential diagnosis of dengue and chikungunya infection in...

The article focuses on health situation, especially livestock production. From the perspective of the State Veterinary Administration, means that it deals with certain diseases which are significant from the breeding point, such as IBR where is conducted the National Eradication Program or the...
