Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Claudia de Menezes Cruz"
- Ana Claudia De Menezes Cruz has focused her recent research on viral infections in swine, particularly the molecular detection of porcine circovirus types 2 and 3 (PCV2 and PCV3) and torque teno swine viruses (TTSuV1 and TTSuVk2), exploring their prevalence in asymptomatic pigs and their impact on health and weight gain in the breeding context in Brazil.
- Her studies revealed that significant percentages of swine tested positive for PCV2 and PCV3, highlighting the importance of these viruses in contributing to post-weaning mortality and clinical syndromes in pigs, while also noting the challenges in understanding infection dynamics in asymptomatic carriers.
- In addition to her work on swine viruses, Cruz has contributed to the understanding of animal models for SARS-CoV-2, reviewing the utility of various species in studying COVID-19 and testing treatments, thereby bridging veterinary research with broader public health implications.
