We characterized five different vaccine candidates and a commercial in terms of safety, immunogenicity using system vaccinology approach, with the aim to select novel against Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae. Seven groups six M. hyopneumoniae-free piglets were primo- booster vaccinated experimental bacterin formulations, Hyogen® as positive control or PBS negative control. The was formulated cationic liposomes + c-di-AMP (Lipo_AMP), Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2/1, TLR7 TLR9 ligands (TLR ligands;...
<ns3:p>Q fever is a widespread zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium, <ns3:italic>Coxiella burnetii</ns3:italic>. In ruminants, <ns3:italic>C. burnetii</ns3:italic> can cause abortions, stillbirths, premature births, and weak offspring. As part of EU-funded Q-Net-Assess International Coordination Research on Infectious Animal Diseases (ICRAD)-project, aimed at generating most comprehensive understanding genetic variation to date determining implications this for risk, pathogenicity...
New vaccine formulations that include novel strains of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and innovative adjuvants designed to induce cellular immunity could improve efficacy against this pathogen. The aim experimental study was assess the three bacterin based on M. field strain F7.2C which were able immunity. included a cationic liposome formulation with Mincle receptor ligand trehalose 6,6-dibehenate (Lipo_DDA:TDB), squalene-in-water emulsion Toll-like (TLR) ligands targeting TLR1/2, TLR7/8 TLR9...
The composition of mother's milk is considered the ideal diet for neonates. This study investigated how conserved or variable amino acid profile sow colostrum and throughout lactation, compared with other studies in sows species. Twenty-five (parity one to seven) from farm gestation lengths 114 116 d were sampled on 0, 3, 10 after parturition. total samples was analyzed through ion-exchange chromatography, results displayed as percentage literature data. Most concentrations decreased...
The mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) is highly prevalent in cereals moderate climates and therefore pigs are often exposed to a DON-contaminated diet. Pigs susceptible DON intake of feed may lead an altered immune response influence the pathogenesis specific bacterial diseases. Therefore, maximum guidance level lowest this species has been set at 900 μg/kg by European Commission. This study aimed determine effect in-feed administration moderately high concentration (1514 μg/kg) on severity...
