Infection kinetics and antibody responses in Deccani sheep during experimental infection and superinfection with bluetongue virus serotypes 4 and 16 [PDF]
Veterinary World, 2019 Aim: The current study was designed to understand the infection kinetics and antibody responses of major circulating serotypes of bluetongue virus (BTV) in India, i.e., BTV-4 and BTV-16 through experimental infection and superinfection of Deccani sheep ...

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity that might be influenced by genetic modifiers, including androgen receptor (AR) repeat length (CAGn and GGCn). The clinical relevance of these repeat lengths in patients with KS before testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) remains unclear.

Full-Genome Sequencing as a Basis for Molecular Epidemiology Studies of Bluetongue Virus in India.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Since 1998 there have been significant changes in the global distribution of bluetongue virus (BTV). Ten previously exotic BTV serotypes have been detected in Europe, causing severe disease outbreaks in naïve ruminant populations.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Genetic variability within the follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH)‐related genes might contribute to phenotypic heterogeneity in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), yet its clinical impact on sperm retrieval remains unclear. Objectives To investigate the association between FSHB c.211 G > T and FSHR polymorphisms (c.2039 A > G ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Our study explores the plastic changes induced by captivity on the microanatomy of the talus of wild boars, revealing denser bone with tighter trabecular networks but a lower relative maximum thickness of compact bone. These plastic adaptations can serve to detect early processes of domestication in the archaeological record.

Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue virus serotypes 1 and 8 in a subclinical experimental infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle.

Vaccination as a Strategy to Prevent Bluetongue Virus Vertical Transmission
Pathogens, 2021 Bluetongue virus (BTV) produces an economically important disease in ruminants of compulsory notification to the OIE. BTV is typically transmitted by the bite of Culicoides spp., however, some BTV strains can be transmitted vertically, and this is ...

Multiserotype protection elicited by a combinatorial prime-boost vaccination strategy against bluetongue virus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Bluetongue virus (BTV) belongs to the genus Orbivirus within the family Reoviridae. The development of vector-based vaccines expressing conserved protective antigens results in increased immune activation and could reduce the number of multiserotype ...

Design and optimisation of rapid real‐time PCR assays for the detection of key Culicoides species
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Species‐specific real‐time PCR assays were designed and optimised using primer/probe sets targeting C. obsoletus, C. scoticus, C. chiopterus, C. dewulfi, C. pulicaris, C. punctatus and C. impunctatus. Primer specificity and amplification efficiency were validated through in silico specificity analysis and real‐time PCR amplification profiling.
