Major Histocompatibility Complex-Associated Resistance to Infectious Diseases: The Case of Bovine Leukemia Virus Infection [PDF]
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a polymorphic gene cluster of about 150 genes, present in all vertebrates. Many of these genes contribute to immunity.

Molecular Dynamics Studies on the Buffalo Prion Protein [PDF]
It was reported that buffalo is a low susceptibility species resisting to prion diseases, which are invariably fatal and highly infectious neurodegenerative diseases that affect a wide variety of species. In molecular structures, TSE neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the conversion from a soluble normal cellular prion protein, predominantly with

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a retrovirus that causes enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) and has worldwide distribution. Infections with BLV have been reported in cattle from Kazakhstan but the virus has not yet been thoroughly characterized. In this study,

A pathologic study on initial lesions of enzootic bovine leukosis.
Thirteen cattle which were suffering from infection with bovine leukemia virus or persistent lymphocytosis, showing very slight or hardly detectable lesions were subjected to pathologic examination for initial lesions of enzootic bovine leukosis. Careful macroscopic observation revealed lesions swollen up and whitish in color on the cut surface of some

Coupling models of cattle and farms with models of badgers for predicting the dynamics of bovine tuberculosis (TB) [PDF]
Bovine TB is a major problem for the agricultural industry in several countries. TB can be contracted and spread by species other than cattle and this can cause a problem for disease control. In the UK and Ireland, badgers are a recognised reservoir of infection and there has been substantial discussion about potential control strategies.

Cytokine secretion in stem cells of cattle infected with bovine leukaemia virus
Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) is a Deltaretrovirus responsible for enzootic bovine leukosis, the most common neoplastic disease of cattle. It deregulates the immune system, favouring secondary infections and changes in the blood and lymphatic tissues ...

Statistical Image Analysis of Drying Bovine Serum Albumin Droplets in Phosphate Buffered Saline [PDF]
A bio-colloidal drying droplet can be used as a pre-diagnostic technique. However, a successful clinical setting requires a fundamental understanding of the final morphology and the way it is related to the initial state of the constituents present in the droplet.

Diagnosis and phylogenetic analysis of bovine leukemia virus in dairy cattle in northeastern Brazil
Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL) is a chronic viral disease of wide distribution in cattle herds and may take several years for the first manifestation of clinical signs. Most animals do not present clinical signs.

Crack patterns in drying protein solution drops [PDF]
A deposited drop of bovine serum albumin salt solution experiences both gelation and fracturation during evaporation. The cracks appearing at the edge of the gelling drop are regularly spaced, due to the competition between the evaporation-induced and relaxation-induced stress evolution. Subsequently, the mean crack spacing evolves in an unexpected way,

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for post-slaughter diagnosis of bovine leukosis
Postmortem diagnosis of enzootic bovine leukosis is made on the basis of the results of tests of biological materials from emergently slaughtered or fallen animals using pathomorphological, histological and molecular genetic methods that have some ...
