Summary The immunopathogenesis of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) infection in the chicken is reviewed. While (IB) considered primarily a disease respiratory system, different IBV strains may show variable tissue tropisms and also affect oviduct kidneys, with serious consequences. Some replicate intestine but apparently without pathological changes. Pectoral myopathy has been associated an important recent variant. Several factors can influence course IBV, including age, breed nutrition...
From an isolated epidemic, coronavirus disease 2019 has now emerged as a global pandemic. The availability of genomes in the public domain after epidemic provides unique opportunity to understand evolution and spread severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus across globe.
The phylum Apicomplexa includes parasites of medical, zoonotic and veterinary significance. Understanding the global distribution genetic diversity these protozoa is fundamental importance for efficient, robust long-lasting methods control. Eimeria spp. cause intestinal coccidiosis in all major livestock animals are most important domestic chickens terms both economic impact animal welfare. Despite having significant negative impacts on efficiency food production, many questions relating to...
PPR is an important infectious viral disease of domestic and wild small ruminants, that threatens the food security sustainable livelihood farmers across Africa, Middle East Asia. Europe free except in Thrace (European part Turkey) Israel where outbreaks occur. Following successful eradication RPV, has been targeted by OIE FAO as next pathogen to be eradicated 2030. However, recent Northen Africa represent a significant threat mainland Europe, source spread. We have discussed here emergence...
The immunopathogenesis of an economically important variant infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) has been studied in day-old specific pathogen-free and 6-week-old broiler chickens. Experimental infection caused very mild respiratory disease no mortalities. Diarrhoea was seen the broilers. Virus distribution titre respiratory, urinary enteric tissues were assessed. In SPF chicks, maximum isolations from oesophagus, followed by trachea, kidney, lung rectum. contrast, broilers, ileum, caecal...
A loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for the rapid detection of serotype 1 Marek's disease virus (MDV) was developed. The used a set three pairs primers to amplify MEQ gene detecting MDV. MDV LAMP did not cross-react with 2 and 3, nor have binding sites common avian DNA viruses (reticuloendotheliosis virus, chicken anemia subgroup J leukosis virus). Additionally, assay could detect up 10 copies in MD viral genome, it had times higher sensitivity than traditional PCR...
We have isolated a partial recombinant cDNA clone from HeLa expression library which encodes protein capable of binding to the central region human neurotropic JC virus (JCV) enhancer/promoter, termed B region. Sequence analysis revealed complete homology N-terminal region, previously described DNA-binding protein, YB-1. Band shift analyses indicated that bacterially produced YB-1 interacts specifically with double-stranded oligonucleotide as well corresponding single-stranded DNA fragment...
Ovine rinderpest or goat plague is an economically important and contagious viral disease of sheep goats, caused by the Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV). Differences in susceptibility to among different breeds water buffalo exist. The host innate immune system discriminates between pathogen associated molecular patterns self antigens through surveillance receptors known as Toll like (TLR). We investigated role TLR cytokines differential PPRV. examined replication PPRV peripheral blood...
Progesterone is a potent drug for synchronization of the estrus and ovulation cycles in bovine. At present, cycle bovine controlled by insertion progesterone-embedded silicone bands. The disadvantage nondegradable polymer inserts to require disposal these bands after their use. study currently focuses on preparation biodegradable progesterone-incorporated nanofiber synchronization. Three different concentrations (1.2, 1.9, 2.5 g) progesterone-impregnated nanofibers were fabricated using...
