Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious agents identified in pigs with multifocal interstitial nephritis at slaughter
TL;DR: Porcine parvovirus (PPV) and porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV-2) were detected in many kidneys of both groups but in a significantly higher proportion of the kidneys with interstitial nephritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of the frequency and distribution of vascular and parenchymal amyloid with polyclonal and N-terminal-specific PrP antibodies in scrapie-affected sheep and mice
Martin Jeffrey,C. M. Goodsir,Andrew Holliman,Robert Higgins,Moira E. Bruce,P. A. McBride,J. R. Fraser +6 more
TL;DR: Results show that the mature amyloid of scrapie is composed of, or contains a substantial proportion of, whole length PrP protein, and truncation of PrP is not essential for the aggregation ofPrP into amyloids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of Catalase-Negative, Non-Beta-Hemolytic, Gram-Positive Cocci Isolated from Milk Samples
TL;DR: A standardized procedure, using the CAMP test, esculin and sodium hippurate hydrolysis, the presence of the enzymes pyrolidonyl arylaminase and leucine aminopeptidase, and acid production from 1% inulin and raffinose broth, would not only improve the results of the identification process of gram-positive cocci isolated from milk samples but also ensure greater uniformity of the epidemiological data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive colonization of the porcine colonic epithelium by a spirochete similar to Treponema innocens.
TL;DR: Specimens of colonic mucosa from two pigs with diarrhea were examined by light and electron microscopy and large spirochetes morphologically compatible with Treponema hyodysenteriae or TrePonema innocens were found.
