Genome degradation in Brucella ovis corresponds with narrowing of its host range and tissue tropism. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Brucella ovis is a veterinary pathogen associated with epididymitis in sheep. Despite its genetic similarity to the zoonotic pathogens B. abortus, B. melitensis and B. suis, B. ovis does not cause zoonotic disease.

A Brucella melitensis H38ΔwbkF rough mutant protects against Brucella ovis in rams
Veterinary Research, 2022 Brucella melitensis and Brucella ovis are gram-negative pathogens of sheep that cause severe economic losses and, although B. ovis is non-zoonotic, B. melitensis is the main cause of human brucellosis. B.

Two major ruminant acute phase proteins, haptoglobin and serum amyloid A, as serum biomarkers during active sheep scab infestation [PDF]
, 2013 Two ruminant acute phase proteins (APPs), haptoglobin (Hp) and serum amyloid A (SAA), were evaluated as serum biomarkers (BMs) for sheep scab–a highly contagious ectoparasitic disease caused by the mite Psoroptes ovis, which is a major welfare and ...

FSH-mediated regulation of POSTN expression in ovine granulosa cells via SRF transcription factor
Frontiers in Animal ScienceIntroductionFollicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) plays a crucial role in regulating ovarian follicular development in sheep. This study investigated the regulatory mechanism of FSH in periostin (POSTN) expression in ovine granulosa cells (GCs ...
