Host-Pathogen Interactions of Chlamydia trachomatis in Porcine Oviduct Epithelial Cells

PATHOGENS, 10(10).

By: A. Amaral n, B. McQueen *, K. Bellingham-Johnstun n, T. Poston *, T. Darville *, U. Nagarajan *, C. Laplante n, T. Kaser n

author keywords: Chlamydia trachomatis; porcine oviduct epithelial cell; developmental cycle; innate immune response; claudin-4; tight junctions
TL;DR: It is shown that primary pOECs represent an excellent in vitro model for research into Ct pathogenesis, cell biology and immunity and induces an immune response to Ct similar to human cells. (via Semantic Scholar)

Maternal Autogenous Inactivated Virus Vaccination Boosts Immunity to PRRSV in Piglets

VACCINES, 9(2).

By: A. Kick  n, Z. Wolfe n, A. Amaral n, L. Cortes n, G. Almond n , E. Crisci n , P. Gauger *, J. Pittman*, T. Kaeser 

author keywords: maternal vaccination; autogenous inactivated vaccine; transfer of immunity; humoral immune response; cell-mediated immune response; T cells; PRRSV; swine; IFN-gamma producing B cells; CD4 T-EMRA cells
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that maternal AIV vaccination can improve protection of pre-weaning piglets against PRRSV-2 and shows the importance of transferring neutralizing antibodies to piglets, and it introduces two novel immune cell subsets in pigs—IFN-γ producing CD21α+ B cells and CD8α−CCR7− CD4 T cells.

The Local and Systemic Humoral Immune Response Against Homologous and Heterologous Strains of the Type 2 Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus

Frontiers in Immunology, 12.

By: A. Kick  n, A. Amaral n, A. Frias-De-Diego  n, L. Cortes n, J. Fogle n, E. Crisci n , G. Almond n , T. Käser n

author keywords: adaptive immunity; humoral immunity; neutralizing antibodies; IgA; IgG; porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
MeSH headings : Animals; Antibodies, Neutralizing / blood; Flow Cytometry / methods; Immunity, Humoral / immunology; Immunoglobulin A / analysis; Immunoglobulin A / immunology; Immunoglobulin G / blood; Nasal Mucosa / immunology; Nasal Mucosa / virology; Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome / immunology; Porcine respiratory and reproductive syndrome virus / immunology; Swine; Vaccination; Viral Vaccines / immunology; Viremia / immunology; Viremia / virology
TL;DR: This study improves the understanding of the relationship between local and systemic infections and the humoral immune response induced by PRRSV-2 infection or MLV vaccination and provides novel insights into the timeline of the development of homologous and heterologous NA levels – by bothMLV vaccination or infection with two strains from the currently prevalent PRRSv-2 lineage 1.

Antimicrobial susceptibility profile of historical and recent Brazilian pig isolates of Pasteurella multocida

PESQUISA VETERINARIA BRASILEIRA, 39(2), 107–111.

By: A. Amaral n, R. Rebelatto  n, C. Klein  n, K. Takeuti  n, J. Filho n, N. Mores  n, M. Cardoso n, D. Barcellos  n

author keywords: Antimicrobial susceptibility; Brazilian pig; Pasteurella multocida; minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC); microbroth dilution; resistance; swine; pigs; bacterioses
TL;DR: There was a significant increase in resistance for amoxicillin and enrofloxacin in recent isolates compared with historic isolates, most likely due to the selective pressure of antimicrobial usage to treat and prevent P. multocida infections. (via Semantic Scholar)
