Tuberculosis in swine co-infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis and Mycobacterium bovis in a cluster from Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-04)In Argentina little is known about the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) infection in swine. We characterized the epidemiological dynamics of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in a swine population of Argentina ... -
Tuberculosis vaccine candidates based on mycobacterial cell envelope components
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Even after decades searching for a new and more effective vaccine against tuberculosis, the scientific community is still pursuing this goal due to the complexity of its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). ... -
Two distinctive phenotypes of AcMNPV display different immune abilities and intracellular destiny
(2016-12-29)The budded phenotype (BV) of the baculovirus AcMNPV has been demonstrated to have strong immunostimulatory properties that are relevant for the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies. Although the occluded ... -
Two years of surveillance of influenza a virus infection in a swine herd. Results of virological, serological and pathological studies
(2017)Swine farms provide a dynamic environment for the evolution of influenza A viruses (IAVs). The present report shows the results of a surveillance effort of IAV infection in one commercial swine farm in Argentina. Two ... -
Type VI secretion system in pathogenic escherichia coli: structure, role in virulence, and acquisition
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08)Bacterial pathogens utilize a myriad of mechanisms to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and evade the immune system. One essential strategy of Gram-negative bacteria is the secretion of virulence factors through ... -
Understanding the intracellular-to-extracellular localization switch of polyhydroxybutyrate polymerase in pseudomonas backgrounds as a microevolutionary process
(Elsevier, 2018-11)After gene duplication, paralogous genes evolve independently, and consequently, the new proteins encoded by these duplicated genes are exposed to changes in their subcellular location. Although there are increasing evidence ... -
Understanding the relationship between Mycobacterium bovis spoligotypes from cattle in Latin American Countries
(Elsevier, 2013-02)Spoligotyping is the most frequently used method for genotyping isolates of Mycobacterium bovis worldwide. In the current work, we compared spoligotypes from 1684 M. bovis isolates from Argentina (816), Brazil (412), Chile ... -
Undetermined cause of mortality in horses in Argentina
(2016)The aim of this report is to describe the features and clinical findings in a series of equine mortalities occurred in a Thoroughbred and Quarter Mile horse breeding farm located in Canuelas, Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. ... -
Unraveling the complexity of the rhomboid serine protease 4 family of Babesia bovis using bioinformatics and experimental studies
(MDPI, 2022-03)Babesia bovis, a tick-transmitted apicomplexan protozoon, infects cattle in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. In the apicomplexans Toxoplasma gondii and Plasmodium falciparum, rhomboid serine protease 4 ... -
Unravelling chemical cues used by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Hymenoptera: Braconidae ) during host search
(FAO-IAEA, 2022-11)Parasitoid wasps are attracted to their hosts using associated volatile compounds. In an static air olfactometer, it was shown that Diachasmimorpha longicaudata females oriented towards oranges with direct or indirect signs ... -
Unveiling the genetic basis of Sclerotinia head rot resistance in sunflower
(BMC, 2020-07)Background: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that causes Sclerotinia head rot (SHR) in sunflower, with epidemics leading to severe yield losses. In this work, we present an association mapping (AM) approach ... -
