Swine Host Protein Coiled-Coil Domain-Containing 115 (CCDC115) Interacts with Classical Swine Fever Virus Structural Glycoprotein E2 during Virus Replication

Viruses, 2020
Interactions between the major structural glycoprotein E2 of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) with host proteins have been identified as important factors affecting virus replication and virulence.

Targeting Myostatin for Sustainable Meat Production: Insights From Multiple Species

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Myostatin gene (MSTN), a TGF‐β superfamily member, negatively regulates skeletal muscle growth, positioning it as a prime genetic target for enhancing livestock meat production. This review synthesizes evidence from 1979 to 2025 on MSTN mutations across cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats, and rabbits, emphasising impacts on yield, quality ...

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a virus type-specific peptide based on a subdomain of envelope protein e(rns) for serologic diagnosis of pestivirus infections in swine

, 2001
Peptides deduced from the C-terminal end (residues 191 to 227) of pestivirus envelope protein Erns were used to develop enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) to measure specifically antibodies against different types of pestiviruses.

Stimuli‐Responsive Hydrogels for Optical Applications: Mechanisms, Architectures, and Translational Challenges

Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
The review discusses stimuli‐responsive hydrogels as soft optical materials that translate physical, chemical, and biological cues into refractive‐index, scattering, birefringence, diffraction, and transparency changes. It examines major stimulus classes and photonic architectures for biosensing, waveguiding, adaptive lenses, smart windows, and therapy.

Mating Attempts and Sustained Interest Behaviors of Wild Boars (Sus scrofa) Toward a Dead Conspecific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We documented behavioral responses of wild boars (Sus scrofa) to a conspecific carcass using camera traps throughout the full decomposition process. One adult male exhibited necrophilic behavior and sustained non‐feeding interactions with the carcass, highlighting pronounced individual variation.

Hospital‐Based Cross‐Sectional Study of Burkholderia pseudomallei Seroreactivity Among Febrile Patients in Northernmost Vietnam: Near‐Neighbor Bloodstream Isolates, Environmental Correlates, and Spatial Clustering

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Melioidosis is a potentially fatal tropical disease caused by the environmentally mediated bacterium, Burkholderia pseudomallei. In Vietnam, melioidosis is not nationally reportable and little is known regarding its epidemiology and distribution in the northernmost mountainous provinces.

Suppression of Calcium Influx Reduces Coxsackievirus B3 Lethality With Elevated Interferon Beta Responses in Mice

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The disease course of severe enterovirus (EV) infection with hepatic necrosis is usually fulminant and fatal. Coxsackievirus (CVB3) is the emerging and important serotype of newborn EV inducing hepatic necrosis. Calcium (Ca2+) regulates host immunity, type I interferon (IFN‐I), and viral infections.

Molecular epidemiology of classical swine fever in Cuba

Virus Research, 1999
The origin and evolution of the classical swine fever (CSF) epizootic that occurred in Cuba from 1993 to 1997 has been investigated by the analysis of E2 gene sequences from 15 representative viral isolates as well as the vaccine and the challenge strains used in this country.

Large mammal recovery in the wake of human population decline

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Human depopulation, particularly in rural areas, has contributed to the recovery of some large mammal populations. While recovery is generally good news for conservation, it can also lead to human‐wildlife conflict. We present several avenues to maximize coexistence in the face of further rural depopulation in other places. Read the free Plain Language

The epidemiology of classical Swine Fever in West Timor, Indonesia

, 2011
Classical swine fever (CSF) is a serious and highly infectious viral disease of domestic pigs and wild boar, which is caused by a single stranded RNA pestivirus. A cross sectional study was carried out on pigs owned by small-holder farmers in West Timor,
