Sero-surveillance of emerging viral diseases in camels and cattle in Nouakchott, Mauritania: an abattoir study.

This study reports the monitoring of several emerging viral pathogens in Mauritania, which was carried out by the analysis of bovine and camel samples taken at the slaughterhouse of Nouakchott. Blood and serum were collected by random sampling from 159 camels and 118 cattle in March 2013 at the large animals abattoir in Nouakchott. Serological tests for Rift Valley Fever (RVF), Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), West Nile disease (WND), epizootic haemorrhagic disease (EHD) and African horse sickness (AHS) were carried out using commercial ELISA kits.

Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia: A Comprehensive Overview.

Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) is a respiratory disease of cattle that is listed as notifiable by the World Organization for Animal Health. It is endemic in sub-Saharan Africa and causes important productivity losses due to the high mortality and morbidity rates. CBPP is caused by subsp.

Generation of IL17RB Knockout Cell Lines Using CRISPR/Cas9-Based Genome Editing.

CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing is an inexpensive and efficient tool for genetic modification. Here we present a methodological approach of establishing interleukin-17 receptor B (IL17RB) knockout cell lines using CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genomic deletion. IL17RB gene encodes for a cytokine receptor that specifically binds to IL17B and IL17E and overexpressed in various cancers.

Prevalence of positive in Italian poultry flocks by environmental sampling.

type G is one of the pathogens involved in enteric diseases in poultry. NetB, a pore-forming toxin, is considered the main virulence factor responsible for necrotic enteritis during infection. We carried out a field study involving 14 farms to evaluate the occurrence of positive and the impact of infection in Italian poultry flocks.
