Belgian Anopheles plumbeus Mosquitoes Are Competent for Japanese Encephalitis Virus and Readily Feed on Pigs, Suggesting a High Vectorial Capacity
Publication Type: Peer reviewed scientific article Authors: Claudia Van den Eynde; Charlotte Sohier; Severine Matthijs; Nick De Regge Source: Microorganisms, Volume 11, Issue 6 (2023) Keywords: Anopheles plumbeus; field-collected mosquitoes; vector compet ...
The history of foot-and-mouth disease virus serotype C: the first known extinct serotype?Abstract
Kenya, in 2004. This article describes the historical distribution and origins of serotype C and its disappearance. The serotype was first described in Europe in the 1920s, where it mainly affected pigs ...
Efficient control of Japanese encephalitis virus in the central nervous system of infected pigs occurs in the absence of a pronounced inflammatory immune response.
nervous system (CNS), resulting in a detrimental outcome. Pigs act as important amplification and reservoir hosts, and JEV infection of pigs is mostly subclinical. Information on virus spread in the CNS and ...
Comprehensive toxicokinetic analysis reveals major interspecies differences in absorption, distribution and elimination of citrinin in pigs and broiler chickens
bioavailability for CIT was complete for broilers (113-131%), while ranging from 37 to 44% in pigs. CIT was more rapidly absorbed in pigs (Tmax = 0.92 h) compared to broiler chickens (Tmax = 7.33 h). The ...
The African swine fever virus isolate Belgium 2018/1 shows high virulence in European wild boar.
is one of the most important and complex viral diseases in domestic pigs and wild boar. Over the last decade, the disease has spread to several European and Asian countries and is now one of the major ...
Porcine NK Cells Stimulate Proliferation of Pseudorabies Virus-Experienced CD8 and CD4CD8 T Cells.
cells and whether this APC-like activity of NK cells may stimulate proliferation of antiviral T cells. Here, using the porcine alphaherpesvirus pseudorabies virus (PRV), we show that vaccination of pigs ...
Risks for animal health related to the presence of zearalenone and its modified forms in feed
oestrogenic activity of the modified forms of ZEN differs considerably. For ZEN, the EFSA Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain (CONTAM) established no observed adverse effect levels (NOAEL s) for pig ...
Complete Genome Sequence of Pseudorabies Virus Reference Strain NIA3 Using Single-Molecule Real-Time Sequencing.
3 (2016) Abstract: Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease in pigs. PRV strains are also used as model organisms for the study of alphaherpesvirus biology or for neuronal ...
Extensive genetic variability linked to IS26 insertions in the fljB promoter region of atypical monophasic variants of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.
Typhimurium isolates was genetically heterogeneous, as revealed by multilocus variable-number tandem-repeat analysis (MLVA), PCR, and sequencing. Pigs and pork represented a major source of such monophasic ...
Potential impact of fertilization practices on human dietary intake of dioxins in Belgium.
scenario. Increases in human dietary intake of dioxin are estimated to be lower than 1% for conventional rearing methods (i.e. grazing animals are reared outdoor while pigs and poultry are reared indoor). ...
