Insight on Bluetongue virus transmission in small ruminants in Senegal

, 2022
International audienceBluetongue (BT) is an infectious, arthropod-borne viral disease of domestic and wild ruminants. The disease causes animal mortality, production decrease and commercial limits for herds.

Impact of bauxite mining on mosquito communities (Diptera: Culicidae) and pathogen transmission risks in the eastern Amazon

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Bauxite mining in the Amazon alters mosquito communities, favouring anthropophilic and generalist vectors while reducing species diversity and the variety of blood meal sources. Molecular analyses identified humans, tapirs and deer as the primary blood meal sources.

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 ...

Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Insects in Nigeria: A GBIF‐Based Appraisal

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Insect diversity in Nigeria is high, with 5880 species. Diversity differs between biomes. Current diversity represents ~21 of the estimated ‘true’ diversity. ABSTRACT Insects provide essential ecosystem services and are key indicators of ecosystem health.

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.

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 ...

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
