Characterization of a papain-like cysteine protease essential for the survival of Babesia ovis merozoites
(2016)
Babesia ovis, a tick-transmitted intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, causes severe infections in small ruminants from Southern Europe, Middle East, and Northern Africa. With the aim of finding potential targets for the ...
Overexpressed proteins in hypervirulent clade 8 and clade 6 strains of Escherichia coli O157:H7 compared to E. coli O157:H7 EDL933 clade 3 strain
(2016)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is responsible for severe diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and predominantly affects children under 5 years. The major virulence traits are Shiga toxins, necessary to develop HUS and ...
Interferon lambda protects cattle against bovine viral diarrhea virus infection
(Elsevier, 2020-12)
Interferon lambda (IFN-λ) plays an important role in inducing an antiviral state in mucosal surfaces and has been used as an effective biotherapeutic against several viral diseases. Here we performed a proof of concept ...
Administration of equine Chorionic Gonadotrophin (eCG) to rams to improve the reproductive performance during the non-breeding season
(Elsevier, 2020-06)
In most ram breeds, there are annual changes in testosterone serum concentration and semen quality. This study aimed to determine if eCG administration to rams during the non-breeding season improves the reproductive ...
Nitrate and nitrite absorption, recycling and retention in tissues of sheep
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Dietary nitrate is of increasing interest both for the pharmacological effects of its metabolites as well as its capacity to inhibit methanogenesis in the gut. A sequence of three experiments was conducted to investigate ...
Effect of Diet Supplementation with Combinations of Soybean and Linseed Oils on Milk Production and Fatty Acid Profile in Lactating Dairy Ewes
(2018-02)
Thirty-six Pampinta ewes were used in a completely randomized design to examine the effectiveness of soybean (SO) and linseed (LO) oils to reduce the concentration of the atherogenic fatty acids (FA) of milk (C12:0 to ...
Early Adaptive Immune Responses in the Respiratory Tract of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus-Infected Cattle
(2013-03)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease which affects both domestic and wild biungulate species. This acute disease, caused by the FMD virus (FMDV), usually includes an active replication phase ...
First report of isolation and molecular characterization of bubaline herpesvirus 1 (BuHV1) from Argentinean water buffaloes
(2014-11)
Herpesviruses have mainly co-evolved with their hosts for millions of years. However, bovine herpesvirus 1 (BoHV1) and related ruminant alphaherpesviruses have been reported to cross the species barrier. Bubaline herpesvirus ...
