DENDRITIC CELL TARGETING OF BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHEA VIRUS E2 PROTEIN EXPRESSED BY LACTOBACILLUS CASEI EFFECTIVELY INDUCES ANTIGEN-SPECIFIC IMMUNE RESPONSES VIA ORAL VACCINATION

Dendritic Cell Targeting of Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus E2 Protein Expressed by Lactobacillus casei Effectively Induces Antigen-Specific Immune Responses via Oral Vaccination

Bovine viral diarrhea caused by bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is an important disease in cattle, resulting in significant economic losses to the cattle industry worldwide.In order to develop an effective vaccine against BVDV infection, we constructed a dendritic cell (DC)-targeting oral HATS probiotic vaccine (pPG-E2-DCpep/LC W56) using Lactob

Genome-wide association studies detects candidate genes for wool traits by re-sequencing in Chinese fine-wool sheep

Abstract Background The quality and yield of wool determine the economic value of the fine-wool sheep.Therefore, discovering markers or genes relevant to wool traits is the cornerstone for the breeding of fine-wool sheep.In this study, we used the Illumina HiSeq X Ten platform to re-sequence 460 sheep belonging to four different fine-wool sheep bre

Exploring genetic variation and phylogenetic patterns of Tropilaelaps mercedesae (Mesostigmata: Laelapidae) populations in Asia

IntroductionThe mites belonging to the genus Tropilaelaps are ectoparasites of honey bees, primarily infesting the larval and pupal stages.Originating from subtropical regions, these mites can cause Cocktail Table Set brood malformation, bee mortality, and subsequent decline or absconding of colonies.Material and methodsDuring field surveys conduct
