Immunization against active ghrelin using virus-like particles for obesity treatment. [PDF]

, 2013
Ghrelin is a gut hormone that stimulates food intake. In physiological conditions, ghrelin plasma levels rise with fasting and decrease after meals. Obese individuals have low fasting ghrelin levels that rise after food restriction, which is pointed out ...

Bluetongue Disease Control in Northern Ireland During 2017 and 2018

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Since the emergence of bluetongue virus in central and northern Europe in 2006, Northern Ireland's (NI) surveillance programme has evolved to include the use of risk assessments and simulation models to monitor the risk of bluetongue incursion. Livestock

Bluetongue virus structure and assembly [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2017
Bluetongue virus (BTV) is an insect-vectored emerging pathogen of wild ruminants and livestock in many parts of the world. The virion particle is a complex structure of consecutive layers of protein surrounding a genome of ten double-stranded (ds) RNA segments. BTV has been studied as a model system for large, non-enveloped dsRNA viruses.

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 260-267, June 2026.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 282-293, June 2026.
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Exploring perceptions of and attitudes towards bluetongue disease: A multi-stakeholder interview study in the beef and sheep farming sector in Ireland

Social Sciences and Humanities Open
Bluetongue (BT) is a vector-borne livestock disease caused by the bluetongue virus (BTV), that is currently exotic to Ireland. However, there is potential for the introduction of BTV and in the event of its introduction there is potential for substantial

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 221-245, June 2026.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Seroprevalence of bluetongue serotype 8 in cattle in the Netherlands in spring 2007, and its consequences

, 2008
A cross-sectional study was carried out in spring 2007, at the end of the first bluetongue outbreak season, to determine the geographical spread of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV-8) infection in cattle in the Netherlands and the consequences for some ...

The Genome Segments of Bluetongue Virus Differ in Copy Number in a Host-Specific Manner [PDF]

, 2021
International audienceGenome segmentation is mainly thought to facilitate reassortment. Here, we show that segmentation can also allow differences in segment abundance in populations of bluetongue virus (BTV).

SEROPREVALENCE OF BLUETONGUE VIRUS IN SHEEP IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Veterinaria, 2014
At the end of August 2002, clinical symptoms of bluetongue in the sheep flocks in northeastern Bosnia and Herzegovina were recorded. In an extensive testing campaign, a total of 8967 blood serra of sheep were tested for the presence of anti-bluetongue ...
