Abstract Background A central nervous system (CNS) disease outbreak caused by small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) has triggered interest in Spain due to the rapid onset of clinical signs and relevant production losses. In a previous study on this outbreak, role LTR tropism was unclear env encoded sequences, likely involved tropism, were not investigated. This aimed analyze heterogeneity SRLV Env regions - TM amino terminal SU V4, C4 V5 segments order assess virus compartmentalization CNS....
Lactic acid bacteria are components of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota in both humans and animals widely used as probiotics. Lactobacillus is most related genus to probiotic activity able release membrane microvesicles (MVs), which primary functions include carry transmit antigens host tissues modulate defense responses. In present study, MVs were isolated from acidophilus resident ileum free-living rats, its immunostimulant effect was evaluated two biological models. characterized...
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLV) cause an incurable multiorganic disease widely spread in sheep and goats that disturbs animal welfare production. In the absence of a vaccine, control measures have been traditionally based on early diagnosis breeding with virus-inactivated colostrum segregation seropositive animals. However, antigenic heterogeneity, poor antibody production due to low viral load, single strain design most available ELISA, pose threat SRLV diagnosis. Genome-wide association...
Small ruminant lentiviruses (SRLVs) belong to the genus Lentivirus in Retroviridae family. There are five genotypes (A, B, C, D, and E), where A B have a global distribution E limited Europe. The presence of SRLV has been confirmed Mexico, with genotype detected central region country. We examined SRLVs prevalence 1014 sheep 1383 goats from 12 Mexican states. Using commercial competitive ELISA (cELISA) test, we antibodies 107 (10.55%) 466 (33.69%). used an endpoint PCR amplify LTR on...
In Guatemala, the Ministry of Health (MoH) began a vector control project with Japanese cooperation in 2000 to reduce risk Chagas disease infection. Rhodnius prolixus is one principal vectors and targeted for elimination. The method consisted extensive residual insecticide spraying campaigns, followed by community-based surveillance selective respraying. Interventions nine endemic departments identified 317 villages R. 4,417 surveyed. Two cycles covered over 98% houses villages. Fourteen...
Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a retrovirus with variable rates of infection globally. DNA was obtained from cats' peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and proviral pol env genes detected using PCR. Seventy-six percent cats scored positive for FeLV env-PCR; 54 %, by pol-PCR. Phylogenetic analysis both regions identified sequences that correspond to group includes endogenous retroviruses. They form an independent branch and, therefore, new viruses. Cat gender, age, outdoor access,...
Abstract This study aims to characterize the mannose receptor (MR) gene in sheep and its role ovine visna/maedi virus (VMV) infection. The deduced amino acid sequence of MR was compatible with a transmembrane protein having cysteine-rich ricin-type amino-terminal region, fibronectin type II repeat, eight tandem C-type lectin carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRD), cytoplasmic carboxy-terminal tail. bovine sequences were closer each other compared human or swine MR. Concanavalin A (ConA)...
Worldwide, many emerging porcine parvoviruses (PPVs) have been linked to circovirus-2 (PCV2) associated disease (PCVAD), which includes post-weaning multi-systemic wasting syndrome (PMWS), PCV2-related reproductive failure (PCV2-RF), as well other syndromes. To determine the DNA prevalence of PPVs and their relationship with PMWS PCV2-RF in Mexico, 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues were selected from archival collections detect using a nested polymerase chain reaction. The...
