ESTABLISHMENT OF SPERMATOGENESIS FOLLOWING TESTICULAR TISSUE ECTOPIC XENOGRAFTING IN ALPACA
(2013)
Sperm production depends on development, puberty and germ cell differentiation. Puberty age of alpaca varies and little is known of factors regulating this process. The species is also known for a high incidence of congenital ...
Factors involved in the proliferation of blaCMY-2 plasmid-bearing Escherichia coli in cattle
(2011)
Third-generation cephalosporins are a crucial component of the antibiotic arsenal for human and veterinary medicine. Resistance to third-generation cephalosporins is often conveyed by blaCMY-2 plasmids. The prevalence of ...
IDENTIFICATION OF THE MECHANISM RESPONSIBLE FOR ATENNUATION OF RIFAMPICIN-PASSAGED FLAVOBACTERIUM PSYCHROPHILUM, ETIOLOGIC AGENT OF BACTERIAL COLDWATER DISEASE
(2013)
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the etiologic agent of bacterial coldwater disease (CWD) and rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS) in salmonids. Presently there are no licensed vaccines for this disease, but earlier work showed ...
Immune response of bighorn sheep to Mannheimia haemolytica
(2011)
Bighorn sheep (BHS; Ovis canadensis) are more susceptible to Mannheimia haemolytica-caused pneumonia, than domestic sheep (DS; Ovis aries). The objective of this study was to elucidate the basis for enhanced susceptibility ...
Adiponectin in equine reproduction
(2015)
Adiponectin, a protein secreted predominately by white adipose tissue, has been a focus of recent research due to its effects on metabolism and reproduction. The following dissertation describes research performed to profile ...
IDENTIFICATION OF CHROMOSOMAL REGIONS ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN CATTLE
(2011)
Genetic selection for animals resistant or tolerant to a disease might yield new opportunities to improve profitability of the animal industry. Selection for animals that are able to defend themselves against pathogenic ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF A GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN EXPRESSING
(2013)
Anaplasma marginale is a tick-transmitted, obligate intraerythrocytic pathogen of cattle, causing anaplasmosis characterized by anemia, decreased milk and meat production, and occasionally death. Animals that survive are ...
SALMONELLA AND ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE IN HUMANS, LIVESTOCK AND WILD BIRDS
(2014)
Salmonella are Gram negative bacteria that are classified into over 2600 serovars. The serovars that cause typhoid fever are restricted to humans, whereas non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars (NTS) infect multiple hosts ...
RECTAL MICROBIOTA DYNAMICS IN PRE-WEANED DAIRY CALVES DEPENDING ON COLOSTRUM INTAKE, PRESENCE OF DIARRHEA AND ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT
(2015)
The mammalian intestine microbial community carries out many functions contributing to host's defense from infectious diseases, nutrition, growth, immunodevelopment and immunomodulation. Several factors such as diet, age, ...
Vaccination of cattle with Escherichia coli O157:H7-derived proteins results in humoral and cellular immune responses but does not confer protection against subsequent challenge
(2013)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enteric pathogen of animals and humans that colonizes the gastrointestinal tract and can result in deadly sequelae. Cattle are most frequently colonized at the recto-anal junction and are ...
