    • Bovine macrophages responses to the infection with virulent and attenuated Leptospira interrogans serovar Pomona 

      Nagel, Ariel Gaston; Vazquez, Cristina Lourdes; Etulain, Julia; Blanco, Federico Carlos; Gravisaco, María José; Gomez, Ricardo Martín; Caimi, Karina Cynthia (Elsevier, 2019-06)
      Leptospirosis is a zoonosis, caused by pathogenic spirochetes of the genus Leptospira. Although cattle are usually the maintenance hosts of serovar Hardjo, Pomona is the most frequent serovar circulating in Argentina. The ...
    • Development of a lateral flow immunochromatography test for the rapid detection of bovine tuberculosis 

      Alonso, Maria Natalia; Griffa, Natanael; Moyano, Roberto Damián; Mon, Maria Laura; Colombatti Olivieri, Maria Alejandra; Barandiaran, Soledad; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Fiorini, Gonzalo; Canal, Ana María; Santangelo, María De La Paz; Singh, Mahavir G.; Romano, Maria Isabel (Elsevier, 2021-04)
      Detection of specific antibodies would be a useful test strategy for bovine tuberculosis (bTB) as a complement to the single skin test. We developed a lateral flow immunochromatography (LFIC) test for rapid bTB detection ...
    • Epidemiology of Babesia, Anaplasma and Trypanosoma species using a new expanded reverse line blot hybridization assay

(The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2019-10)
      In this study, Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time-of-Flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry was used to identify Mycobacterium bovis from cattle and buffalo tissue isolates from the North and South regions of ...
    • Recent advances in non-specific immune memory against bovine tuberculosis 

      Blanco, Federico Carlos; Sabio Y Garcia, Julia Veronica; Bigi, Fabiana (Elsevier, 2021-04)
      Bovine tuberculosis is an important worldwide disease mainly related to cattle, although it also affects other mammals, including humans. In recent years, there have been considerable advances in the knowledge of the immune ...
