Abstract

Bovine viral diarrhoea continues to be an important disease affecting both beef and dairy animals of all ages. One of the quickest means of measuring bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) exposure and infection in the herd is a serum neutralization (SN) assay. Type 1 and type 2 BVDV SN results from the Animal Disease Research and Diagnostic Laboratory at South Dakota State University were collected over a seven-year period (1995-2001) to determine any trends. These results indicated that in 1996, 31% of the animals had titres > or =512 while in 2001, 74% of the titres were > or = 512. There has been a progressive increase over the seven-year period in the number of cases with titres > or = 512 with the exception of 1999 when there was a slight decrease. When analyzing the titres greater than 512, a further increase was seen. In 1995, 80% of the titres were < or = 1024 and 20% were 2048 and no titres were >2048. In 2001, 47% of the antibody levels were < or = 1024 while 53% were < or =2048 and 30% were >4096. The most dramatic increase in titres occurred in 1997 and the percentage of animals with titres from 512-8192 has remained fairly constant for the last five years (1997-2001). This increase is in part due to more extensive us...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
