The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of the route of administration on the immunogenicity and efficacy of a combined western, eastern, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (WEVEE) virus-like replicon particle (VRP) vaccine in cynomolgus macaques. The vaccine consisted of equal...

Plasmodium remains a major pathogen causing malaria and impairing defense against other infections. Defining how Plasmodium increases susceptibility to heterologous pathogens may lead to interventions that mitigate the severity of coinfections. Previous studies proposed that reduced T cell...

This study compared rabbit rectal thermometry with 4 other thermometry techniques: an implantable microchip temperature transponder, an environmental noncontact infrared thermometer, a tympanic infrared thermometer designed for use on humans, and a tympanic infrared thermometer designed for use on...

This study was conducted to determine whether partial ileal resection and jejunocaecal anastomosis in horses would lead to the appearance of increased concentrations of bile in the faeces. The study group included clinically normal horses (not subjected to surgery) and horses admitted to the North...

The purpose of this project was to determine if the detection of pinworm infections in owl monkeys (Aotus nancymae) could be improved by performing perianal tape testing at specific times of the day and/or by performing repeated sampling. Eight Aotus known to be infected with pinworms were sampled...

We conducted this study to determine whether heart rate, respiratory rate, and recovery time differed significantly between rats receiving target-controlled infusion (TCI) and those under volatile inhalant anesthesia. TCI rats received intravenous propofol at an average effect site concentration of ...

The apical membrane antigen 1 of Plasmodium falciparum is one of the leading candidate antigens being developed as a vaccine to prevent malaria. This merozoite transmembrane protein has an ectodomain that can be divided into three subdomains (D I, D II, and D III). We have previously expressed a...

A feeding trial and a balance trial were conducted to study the effects of adding virginiamycin and fat to grain sorghum-soybean meal (S-SBM) diets fed to swine (USA). During the feeding trial, 96 crossbred pigs with an average initial bodyweight (BW) of 8.6 kg were assigned to groups of 24 each to ...

A feeding trial and a balance trial were conducted to study the effects of virginiamycin and/or fat in grain sorghum-soyabean meal (S-SBM) diets fed to pigs. During the feeding trial, 96 Yorkshire-Hampshire × Large White crossbred pigs with an average initial body weight (BW) of 8.6 kg were...
