AggA is required for aggregation and increased biofilm formation of a hyper-aggregating mutant of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1.
and the protein pattern was compared to that of MR-1. From the proteomics results, it was hypothesized that the agglutination protein AggA, associated with the secretion of a putative RTX protein, was ...
Prime-boost strategies combining DNA and inactivated vaccines confer high immunity and protection in cattle against bovine herpesvirus-1.
vaccines have frequently been associated with poor efficacy in large animals. In the present study, one administration of an inactivated marker vaccine to cattle considerably boosted both humoral and ...
Binding and entry characteristics of porcine circovirus 2 in cells of the porcine monocytic line 3D4/31.
Swine Virion Wasting Syndrome Abstract: Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV2) is associated with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome and reproductive problems in pigs. Cells of the monocyte/macrophage ...
Host- and tissue-specific pathogenic traits of Staphylococcus aureus.
in one of the five main clusters of the AFLP database (cluster I). In essence, mastitis-associated strains from animals were categorized separately (cluster IV a) and cosegregated with ...
Virulence-associated traits in avian Escherichia coli: comparison between isolates from colibacillosis-affected and clinically healthy layer flocks.
characteristics of avian pathogenic Escherichia coli associated with the occurrence of colibacillosis outbreaks at flock level. Forty E. coli strains originating from layers from healthy flocks (‘control ...
Reduced proviral loads during primo-infection of sheep by Bovine Leukemia virus attenuated mutants.
consecutive to infection of sheep (e.g. primo-infection) by Bovine leukemia virus mutants are largely unknown. In order to better understand the mechanisms associated with this period, we aimed at analyzing ...
Effect of challenge dose and age in experimental infection of pigs with encephalomyocarditis virus.
dose. In these pigs, a positive association between the viral dose and the severity of macroscopical and histopathological lesions of the heart was also evident. Viral isolations from various organs of ...
Decision support tools for clinical diagnosis of disease in cows with suspected bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
scrapie-associated-fiber negative. Seasonality in reporting suspected cases was observed, with more cases being reported during wintertime when animals were kept indoors. The median duration of illness was 30 days. The 10 ...
Evaluation of virulence of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae field isolates.
Based on the results of the different parameters, isolates were divided into three “virulence” groups: low, moderately and highly virulent strains. Typically, a 5000 bp RAPD fragment was associated with ...
Real-time PCR for simultaneous detection and genotyping of bovine viral diarrhea virus.
isolates of both genotypes. The application to clinical diagnosis was evaluated on pooled blood samples by post run measurement of the FAM- and VIC-associated fluorescence. The 100% agreement with the ...
