Mannosylation of virus-like particles enhances internalization by antigen presenting cells. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Internalization of peptides by antigen presenting cells is crucial for the initiation of the adaptive immune response. Mannosylation has been demonstrated to enhance antigen uptake through mannose receptors, leading to improved immune responses.

RHDV2 outbreak reduces survival and juvenile recruitment, causing European rabbit population collapse

Ecosphere, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Infectious diseases can cause considerable mortality in vertebrate populations, especially when a new pathogen emerges. Quantifying the impact of diseases on wild populations and dissecting the underlying mechanisms requires longitudinal individual monitoring combining demographic and epidemiologic data.

Remote sensing for rangeland conservation monitoring: Impacts of livestock removal after 15 years

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2111-2122, September 2024.
The ability to quantify management‐related impacts in land condition using freely available remote sensing data could support improved management by all stakeholders in these regions. The method leverages readily available satellite remote sensing data in a study design that is not dependent on large geospatial and climatic datasets that are not ...

A sensitive and specific blocking ELISA for the detection of rabbit calicivirus RCV-A1 antibodies

Virology Journal, 2012
Background Antibodies to non-pathogenic rabbit caliciviruses (RCVs) cross-react in serological tests for rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and vice versa, making epidemiological studies very difficult where both viruses occur.

Occurrence of Coxiella burnetii in wild lagomorphs and their ticks in Spanish Mediterranean ecosystems

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 71, Issue 5, Page 549-559, August 2024.
Abstract Background Coxiella burnetii, the causative agent of Q fever, is a zoonotic multi‐host vector‐borne pathogen of major public health importance. Although the European Food Safety Authority has recently made the monitoring of this bacterium in wildlife a priority, the role of wild lagomorphs in the transmission and maintenance of C.

Using bioindicators to inform effective predator management for threatened species protection

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 7, July 2024.
Abstract In Australia, most threatened species translocations conducted into areas where feral predators are present fail to establish viable, self‐sustaining populations despite intensive predator control. These translocations are occurring amidst a lack of understanding regarding the conditions required for native species to survive, including ...

Studying the interaction of glycans with intact virions and virus‐like particles by ligand‐observed NMR spectroscopy

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, Volume 62, Issue 5, Page 337-344, May 2024.
▪ Abstract Virus‐glycan interactions play a crucial role in the infection process of many viruses. NMR spectroscopy has emerged as a powerful tool for studying these interactions at the molecular level. In this article, we review several published papers and reports that have highlighted the application of NMR spectroscopy in understanding the complex ...

The impact of integrating rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (K5) release with pindone baiting on wild rabbit populations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.
This study quantified the impact of the release of rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus K5 (RHDV K5, K5 hereafter) and pindone baiting at 13 sites within Cudlee Creek fire scar in the Adelaide Hills region, South Australia. K5 release had minimal impact on rabbit populations, whereas a reduction in rabbit counts post‐pindone baiting was observed at most ...

Lagovirus europeus GI.2 (rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus 2) infection in captive mountain hares (Lepus timidus) in Germany

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background Rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV, Lagovirus europeus GI.1) induces a contagious and highly lethal hemorrhagic disease in rabbits. In 2010 a new genotype of lagovirus (GI.2), emerged in Europe, infecting wild and domestic population of ...
