Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is a major cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in cattle and causes yearly outbreaks with high morbidity in Europe. Commercial vaccines against this virus needs improvement of efficacy, especially in calves with BRSV-specific…

The objectives of this study were to provide a summary quantification of the efficacy of FMD emergency vaccination based on a systematic review and a meta-analysis of available literature, and to further discuss the suitability of this review and meta-analysis to summarize…

Vaccination of chickens with herpesvirus of turkey (HVT) confers only partial protection against challenge with a very virulent Marek's disease virus (MDV). Here, we evaluated the ability of recombinant chicken interferon-gamma (rChIEN-gamma) to enhance protective efficacy…

Dengue is the most medically important arthropod-borne viral disease, with 50-100 million cases reported annually worldwide(1). As no licensed vaccine or dedicated therapy exists for dengue, the most promising strategies to control the disease involve targeting the…

The pattern of global gene expression in Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium bacteria harvested from the chicken intestinal lumen (cecum) was compared with that of a late-log-phase LB broth culture using a whole-genome microarray. Levels of transcription, translation…

Evaluation of the changes induced by immunological interventions requires a baseline against which to compare those changes. The age-related changes in the CD8+ T-cell population of cattle were studied. The results indicate that CD8+ T-cells could be divided into ?/? TCR1+…

The Nairoviruses are an important group of tick-borne viruses that includes pathogens of man (Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever virus) and livestock animals (Dugbe virus, Nairobi sheep disease virus (NSDV)). NSDV is found in large parts of East Africa and the Indian…

Vaccination of neonatal calves with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) induces a significant degree of protection against infection with virulent M. bovis, the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis (bTB). We compared two strains of BCG, Pasteur and Danish…

The objective of this study was to identify proteomic patterns in sera for the early detection of Schistosoma japonicum infections in a rabbit model. Proteomic patterns were to be established by profiling serum proteins using magnetic bead (MB) separation and matrix assisted…
