Effect of PCV-2 Vaccination on Cytokines Gene Expression Profile in Wild Boar Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells after Stimulation with Mycobacteria Antigens. [PDF]
Wild boar (Sus scrofa) is a common wild ungulate known as the most important reservoir of tuberculosis (TB) in Spain. The severity of TB lesions in this species and the high prevalence of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV‐2) have been related. PCV‐2 is ubiquitous in swine populations, being usual for the free‐living ones the contact with this agent ...

Particulate cartilage and platelet‐rich plasma treatment for knee chondral defects in sheep
Abstract PurposeArticular cartilage is vulnerable to multiple types of damage and it has limited reparative and regenerative capacities due to its absence of vascularity. Although a large number of therapeutic strategies exist to treat chondral defects, they have some limitations, such as fibrocartilage formation.

Abstract Crimean–Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick‐borne human disease in Spain. Understanding the spatiotemporal dynamics and exposure risk determinants of CCHF virus (CCHFV) in animal models is essential to predict the time and areas of highest transmission risk. With this goal, we designed a longitudinal survey of two wild ungulate
