Pigeon rotavirus A genotype G18P[17]-associated disease outbreaks after fancy pigeon shows in Germany - a case series.
Volker Schmidt,Michael Kümpel,Kerstin Cramer,Michael Sieg,Maxi Harzer,Antje Rückner,Kristin Heenemann +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported disease outbreaks in juvenile and adult pigeons were reported 7-14 days after fancy pigeon shows in Australia, Germany, Belgium, Denmark and USA since 2016.
Pigeon circoviruses from feral pigeon in Australia demonstrates extensive recombination and genetic admixture with other circoviruses
Subir Sarker,Shubhagata Das,Seyed A. Ghorashi,Andrew Peters,Jade K. Forwood,Karla J. Helbig,Shane Raidal +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that there is a high degree of genetic variation within PiCV in Columbiformes with potential greater admixture between avian circoviruses within Australia than previously known.

Probiotic supplementation containing Bacillus velezensis enhances expression of immune regulatory genes against pigeon circovirus in pigeons (Columba livia).
Ching-Yi Tsai,Shao-Yang Hu,Harvey M. Santos,Gail Everette M. Catulin,Lemmuel L. Tayo,Kuo Pin Chuang +5 more
TL;DR: This study aimed to isolate and evaluate the efficacy of Bacillus velezensis as a probiotic and to assess its activity towards pigeons infected with pigeon circovirus (PiCV).
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and Validation of KASP Assays for the Genotyping of Racing Performance-Associated Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Pigeons
Ching-Chi Chang,Benji Brayan I. Silva,Huai-Ying Huang,Ching-Yi Tsai,Ronilo Jose D. Flores,Lemmuel L. Tayo,Yu Chang Tyan,Ming-An Tsai,Gail Everette M. Catulin,Kuo Pin Chuang,Jenq-Lin Yang +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an alternative genotyping method that employs Kompetitive Allele Specific Polymerase Chain Reaction (KASP) technology with specifically designed primers to detect previously reported racing performance-associated polymorphisms within the LDHA, MTYCB, and DRD4 genes was presented.
The impact of deoxynivalenol on pigeon health: occurrence in feed, toxicokinetics and interaction with salmonellosis
Gunther Antonissen,Roel Haesendonck,Mathias Devreese,Nathan Broekaert,Elin Verbrugghe,Sonja Weerdenburg,Frank Pasmans,Sarah De Saeger,An Martel,Siska Croubels +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that DON was one of the most frequently detected mycotoxins in seed-based racing pigeons feed, contaminating 5 out of 10 samples (range 177-1,466 μg/kg).

Antioxidant actions of thymol, carvacrol, 6-gingerol, zingerone and hydroxytyrosol
Robert Aeschbach,J. Löliger,Brigitte C. Scott,A Murcia,John Butler,Barry Halliwell,Okezie I. Aruoma +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that thymol, carvacrol and 6-gingerol possess useful antioxidant properties and may become important in the search for 'natural' replacements for 'synthetic' antioxidant food additives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment and Its Relevance to Environmental Regulators
TL;DR: It is argued that the lack of environment-facing mitigation actions included in existing AMR action plans is likely a function of the authors' poor fundamental understanding of many of the key issues and the science to inform policy is lacking and this needs to be addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of a genus- and species-specific multiplex PCR for identification of enterococci.
TL;DR: This assay provides simultaneous genus and species identification of 23 species of enterococci using seven different reaction mixtures and provides an improved, rapid method for identification of this group of bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical biosensors and the label free detection of protein disease biomarkers
Xiliang Luo,Jason J. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on recent important advances in label free assays of protein using a number of electrical methods, including those based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), amperometry/voltammetry, potentiometry, conductometry and field-effect methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection and differentiation of avian adenoviruses: a review.
TL;DR: This review is mainly focused on the challenges that occurred recently in the field of avian adenovirus diagnosis at the molecular level and the value of several polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) developed with the aim of detecting viral DNA from all three groups of aviators partially in target cells.
