Showing papers in "Veterinary Microbiology in 2013"

TL;DR: Among many of the pathogenic bacteria, OmpA proteins have important pathogenic roles including bacterial adhesion, invasion, or intracellular survival as well as evasion of host defenses or stimulators of pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

TL;DR: The explosive spread of the lineage 2 WNV in 2008 described here remained not restricted to Hungary and Austria, but this virus dispersed further to the south to various Balkan states and reached northern Greece, where it caused the devastating neuroinvasive WND outbreak in humans in 2010.

TL;DR: This study summarizes published literature on the genetic and antigenic diversity of porcine and bovine RVA strains published over the last 3 decades to provide important baseline data on epidemiologically important R VA strains in swine and cattle and may guide the development of more effective vaccines for veterinary use.

TL;DR: This review summarises changes to the taxonomy of koala chlamydial infections and recent advances in the understanding of the epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, control and evolution of Chlamydia infections in this iconic wildlife species.

TL;DR: These findings highlight the emergence and development of HPAI H5 viruses of other NA subtypes in H5N1 endemic areas and their potential threat to poultry industry and public health.

TL;DR: The present review summarizes the current knowledge on the natural history of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) infection and its related diseases and indicates that the appearance of PCV2-SD as an epidemic problem at the end of 1990 s or early-mid 2000s might be related with a number of known and unknown variables.

TL;DR: More extensive and systematic molecular phylogeny studies are needed to fully understand PRRSV diversity in Europe, to provide swine producers with reliable diagnostics, and to better assess the potential consequences of endemic spread and exotic introductions.

TL;DR: Investigation of broiler chickens to determine whether the abundance of certain members of the microbiota was correlated with the relative ability to extract energy from a typical wheat soybean diet identified a number of mostly uncultured phylotypes that were more prevalent in birds with high energy efficiency.

TL;DR: The results support the "dysbiosis" hypothesis that SPC adversely affects the intestinal microbiota of Atlantic salmon and suggest the microbiota adherent to the intestinal tract of salmon is complex at the population level, but simple and highly variable at the individual level.

TL;DR: Current ASF epidemiology in Eastern Europe is reviewed, the factors that may contribute to disease endemicity in the area, the current challenges for disease control, and the risk of introduction into the EU are discussed.

TL;DR: This work is the first intensive non-culture based GIT microbiota analysis for any ruminant and provides a framework for understanding how host microbiota impact the health of bovines.

TL;DR: Sustained international, coordinated, and funded strategy based on a regional approach of PPR control will be the guarantee toward success, considering its wide distribution and its multiple target host species which have an intense mobility.

TL;DR: A case–control study was conducted to assess infectious etiologies associated with calf diarrhea in Midwest cattle farms, finding C. parvum and BRV-A were considered to be the most common enteric pathogens for calf diarrhea with high detection frequency and strong odds ratio.

TL;DR: This study shows a surprisingly low molecular diversity of the strains causing mastitis in France with respect to ESBL genes, plasmids and clones.

TL;DR: In addition, emerging porcine parvovirus type 2 (PPV2) was detected in 55% of the serum samples, perhaps implying that PPV2 could be a cofactor in cases of PCVAD.

TL;DR: This study represented the first isolation and identification of CyHV-2 in cultured gibel carp in China and laid a foundation for the further studies of the disease.

TL;DR: In this paper, pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene was used to examine oral samples from six healthy dogs in an effort to determine community membership, diversity, and zoonotic implications.

TL;DR: A detailed description of equine infectious anemia virus and host responses to it are presented and suggestions for improvements to increase their effectiveness are suggested.

TL;DR: Understanding the equine herpesviruses' repertoire of immunomodulatory mechanisms may lead the way to develop more efficient vaccines.

TL;DR: This is the first report to demonstrate that PEDV N protein can induce cell cycle prolongation at the S-phase, ER stress and up-regulation interleukin-8 expression.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the increased clinical and pathological effect of the SU1-bel strain is more likely to be caused by an enhanced inflammatory immune response rather than higher levels of virus replication.

TL;DR: In this article, molecular typing of 26 recent fowl adenovirus (FAdV) isolates obtained in Eastern Hungary between 2006 and 2011 was performed, which revealed the presence of all the five FAdV species in the country.

TL;DR: This review looks at how bluetongue disease has evolved in Europe and how effective vaccination strategies have been.

TL;DR: Current understanding of the clinical aspects, biology, pathogenesis and immunity of this fascinating microbe with plasmid-governed infectivity is summarized.

TL;DR: In this study, ESBL-producers were detected among uropathogenic E. coli from Swiss companion animals and the eight CTX-M-15-producing isolates belonged to three sequence types (ST410, ST533, ST648) and three E. bacteria phylogroups (A, B1, D).

TL;DR: This review summarises the current understanding of, and recent research on, equine influenza, including epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical characteristics, laboratory diagnosis, management and prevention, as well as recent advances in diagnostic techniques.

TL;DR: This is the first report showing that under disease conditions associated with virus infection, the mucosal barrier of fish skin is disrupted resulting in a higher susceptibility to secondary infections, although the mechanism of a probable virus induced immunomodulation has to be investigated further.

TL;DR: The results suggested that different therapeutic programs may have been implemented in the different farms and that in most cases clones were herd-specific.

TL;DR: Data show that the current dissemination of livestock-associated MRSA also engulfs chickens and turkeys, and that MRSA surveillance among these species is warranted.

TL;DR: In naïve cattle infected subcutaneously viral RNA was detected in serum and blood samples for several days and lymphocytes from peripheral blood SBV genome was not detected, but the lymphocyte homeostasis in blood was influenced.
