Triton-X-100-treated pilus suspensions prepared from Neisseria gonorrhoeae produced a single line of precipitate in immunodiffusion tests. This line was distinct from that of the virulence-associated antigen.

The interaction of Mesomycoplasma (Mycoplasma) ovipneumoniae (M. ovipneumoniae) with host cells is a pivotal step in the infection process, underlining the necessity to develop vaccines and therapeutic approaches targeting the pathogen's key invasion mechanisms. The bacterium's capacity for adherence, invasion, and subsequent evasion of the host immune response underpins its pathogenicity, rendering adherence genes feasible vaccine targets.

African swine fever (ASF) is an emerging disease caused by the African swine fever virus (ASFV), which is a great threat to the swine industry worldwide. Currently registered vaccines that have demonstrated protection against the homologous ASFV strains are live attenuated vaccines based on recombinant ASFV strains with the deletions of virulence-associated genes. In this study, we evaluated the deletion of the gene in the ASFV virulent Stavropol_01/08 strain isolated in Russia in 2008.
