Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) belongs to the genus Lagovirus of Caliciviridae. VP60 protein is one of the capsid proteins of RHDV, and also is main immunogenic protein which the major antigenic epitopes mainly locate in the N-terminal region. In this study, the VP60 truncated gene was...

Predatory and parasitic mites are likely to assume a greater role in crop protection as world attention is now focused on finding out alternative means of agricultural pest management, and some may be beneficial in the medical and veterinary fields. This review on the status of research on...

Exogenous gene stably integrated into the host genome, and stably inherited to the offspring, producing transgenic animals is a basic requirement. Analysis of transgenic animals for inheritance and expression stability of transgene is an important part of establishing a transgenic animal strain....

Efficient expression of human complement regulatory gene human cluster of differentiation 55 (hCD55) is particularly important in xenotransplantation. Human CD55 gene was knocked-in porcine Rosa26 (pRosa26) locus via CRISPR/Cas9 on the basis of GGTA1 knockout (α-1,3-galactosyltransferase knockout,...

N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5 Gc) is an important non-galactose antigen which can cause xenograft rejection, and it is catalyzed synthesis by cytidine monophospho-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH). In this study, the CMAH gene knockout Bama mini pigs (CMAH-/-) were generated by CRISPR/Cas9...

Listonella anguillarum has emerged as a serious pathogen causing significant mortalities in various fish and shellfish species over a wide geographical area. With the large-scale application of intensive farming model in aquaculture, the speed of the transmission of aquatic pathogens has been...

Bacillus strains are widely used as animal probiotics. Cellulase produced by Bacillus strains could be used to increase efficiency of feed utilization and improve the intestinal microflora. The aim of this study was to screen the Bacillus strains with high celluloytic activities from the...
