Genetically stable infectious Schmallenberg virus persists in foetal envelopes of pregnant ewes.
foetal envelopes is genetically stable since only a few mutations compared to the inoculum were found. This supports the hypothesis that persisting virus could start the infection of new hosts. Finally, ...
Differential Viral Fitness Between H1N1 and H3N8 Avian Influenza Viruses Isolated from Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos).
be more prevalent in the mallard population than was H1N1, which might suggest a better adaptation to this species. In order to investigate this hypothesis, we characterized both isolated viruses ...
Extended transmission of two H5/H7 low pathogenic avian influenza viruses in chickens.
mechanisms of low pathogenic notifiable avian influenza virus (LPNAI) transmission. In this study, the hypothesis that inoculation-infected chickens are more infectious than contact-infected chickens was ...
An essential role for γ-herpesvirus latency-associated nuclear antigen homolog in an acute lymphoproliferative disease of cattle.
This hypothesis was further supported by the high frequencies of infected CD8 (+) T cells during MCF using immunodetection of ORF73 protein and single-cell RT- PCR approaches. Finally, the role of ...
Influenza A strain-dependent pathogenesis in fatal H1N1 and H5N1 subtype infections of mice.
refute the hypothesis of a single, universal cytokine storm underlying all fatal influenza diseases. Research is thus crucially needed to identify sets of virulence markers and to examine whether treatment ...
Bluetongue in Belgium: episode II.
and small ruminant mortality data when shifting the latter of 1-week backwards. This result supports the hypothesis that the high increase in small ruminant mortality observed in 2007 was the ...
Bluetongue virus serotype 8-associated congenital hydranencephaly in calves.
parenchyma showed moderate to severe atrophy of the neural tissue. The lesions observed support the hypothesis of BTV-induced destruction of precursor cells. However, in several calves a slight infiltration of ...
Protein growth rate in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is negatively correlated to liver 20S proteasome activity.
synthesis to degradation would be expected to produce more efficient conversion of food into growth. In addition, we hypothesised that high activities of the proteasome, a major pathway of protein ...
Turkey and chicken interferon-gamma, which share high sequence identity, are biologically cross-reactive.
functionally cross-reactive. To test this hypothesis, we produced recombinant turkey and chicken IFN-gamma, and compared their biological properties. Recombinant turkey and chicken IFN-gamma both induce HD11 ...
Differential responses of eubacterial, Mycobacterium, and Sphingomonas communities in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil to artificially induced changes in PAH profile.
Sphingomonas. To study this hypothesis, artificial conditions regarding PAH profile and PAH bioavailability were induced in two PAH-contaminated soils and the response of the eubacterial, Mycobacterium, and ...
