Spontaneous virus reactivation in cattle chronically infected with bovine leukemia virus
(BioMed Central, 2019)Background: The absence of virus expression during the chronic stage of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection and its reactivation upon ex vivo culture has become a long-lived Dogma. During the chronic stage of BLV ... -
Worldwide evolution of equine RVA: four voices, one story
(2018-09)In this work, we used a Bayesian approach, together with all the information that was available in databases, to study the evolution of equine RVA. -
Rotavirus species tropism: new insights on P-type classification
(2018-11)To study the aminoacid regions that are involved in the VP8 pocket in order to find a molecular fingerprint for the virus species tropism. -
Recent advances in BLV research
(MDPI, 2015-11)Different animal models have been proposed to investigate the mechanisms of Human T-lymphotropic Virus (HTLV)-induced pathogenesis: rats, transgenic and NOD-SCID/γcnull (NOG) mice, rabbits, squirrel monkeys, baboons and ... -
Advances in novel vaccines for foot and mouth disease: focus on recombinant empty capsids
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-05)Foot and mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals, which causes severe economic losses in the livestock industry. Currently available vaccines are based on inactivated FMD virus (FMDV). ... -
Development and evaluation of a one-step multiplex real-time TaqMan® RT-qPCR assay for the detection and genotyping of equine G3 and G14 rotaviruses in fecal samples
(BMC, 2019-04)Background: Equine rotavirus A (ERVA) is the leading cause of diarrhea in neonatal foals and has a negative impact on equine breeding enterprises worldwide. Among ERVA strains infecting foals, the genotypes G3P[12] and ... -
Immune response and protection provided by live tachyzoites and native antigens from the NC-6 Argentina strain of Neospora caninum in pregnant heifers
(Elsevier, 2013-11)The aim of the present study was to compare the immunogenicity and protective efficacy of live tachyzoites and native antigen extract obtained from the NC-6 Argentina strain against vertical transmission of Neospora caninum, ... -
Chicken egg yolk antibodies against bovine respiratory syncytial virus neutralize the virus in vitro
(Elsevier, 2012)Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) and its counterpart in humans (HRSV) are two closely related virus, which are the leading cause of severe respiratory syndrome in calves and young children, respectively. Passive ... -
Application of serological tests to assess the efficacy of foot-and-mouth disease vaccination in dairy cattle with or without viral leucosis
(Juniper Publishers, 2018-12)Enzootic bovine leucosis is an infectious viral disease of cattle distributed worldwide that affect dairy cattle over 2 years of age. This disease produces changes in the animal´s immune system that may affect vaccine ... -
Transient gene expression in serum-free suspension-growing mammalian cells for the production of foot-and-mouth disease virus empty capsids
(PLOS, 2013-08-20)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious disease of cloven-hoofed animals. It produces severe economic losses in the livestock industry. Currently available vaccines are based on inactivated FMD virus (FMDV). ... -
Swine influenza: clinical, serological, pathological, and virological cross‐sectional studies in nine farms in Argentina
(International Society for Influenza and other Respiratory Virus Diseases, 2013-12)Background: Influenza A viruses (IAV) are important pathogens responsible for economic losses in the swine industry and represent a threat to public health. In Argentina, clinical, pathological, and virological findings ... -
Plant‐produced viral bovine vaccines: what happened during the last 10 years?
(Wiley, 2015-10)Vaccination has proved to be an efficient strategy to deal with viral infections in both human and animal species. However, protection of cattle against viral infections is still a major concern in veterinary science. ... -
Molecular and antigenic characterization of bovine Coronavirus circulating in Argentinean cattle during 1994–2010
(Elsevier, 2015-12)Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is an important viral pathogen associated with neonatal calf diarrhea. Our aim was to investigate the incidence of BCoV in diarrhea outbreaks in beef and dairy herds from Argentina during 1994–2010. ... -
Cyclophosphamide enhances the release of tumor exosomes that elicit a specific immune response in vivo in a murine T-cell lymphoma
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Exosomes are 60–150 nm small extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by most cells. Tumor-cell-derived exosomes, used as a vaccine, elicit a specific cytotoxic response against tumor cells, usually with a greater immunogenicity ... -
Development of an APC-targeted multivalent E2-based vaccine against Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus types 1 and 2
(Elsevier, 2015-09)The aim of this study was to develop and test a multivalent subunit vaccine against Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) based on the E2 virus glycoprotein belonging to genotypes 1a, 1b and 2a, immunopotentiated by targeting ... -
Foot-and-mouth disease virus infection of dendritic cells triggers phosphorylation of ERK1/2 inducing class I presentation and apoptosis
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals. This pathology is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Over time, the development of vaccines to prevent the spread of ... -
Rapid detection of equine infectious anaemia virus nucleic acid by insulated isothermal RT-PCR assay to aid diagnosis under field conditions
(Wiley, 2018)Background: Control of equine infectious anaemia (EIA) currently depends on serological diagnosis of infected equids. However, recently infected equids may not produce detectable anti-EIAV antibodies up to 157 days post ... -
