Conserved, breed-dependent, and subline-dependent innate immune responses of Fayoumi and Leghorn chicken embryos to Newcastle disease virus infection.
(Scientific Reports, 2019-05-10)
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a threat to the global poultry industry, but particularly for smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries. Previous reports suggest that some breeds of chickens are less susceptible ...
Transcriptional Innate Immune Response of the Developing Chicken Embryo to Newcastle Disease Virus Infection
(Frontiers in Genetics, 2018-02-27)
Traditional approaches to assess the immune response of chickens to infection are
through animal trials, which are expensive, require enhanced biosecurity, compromise
welfare, and are frequently influenced by confounding ...
The genetic diversity of local african chickens: A potential for selection of chickens resistant to viral infections
(Poultry Science Association Inc., 2018)
Viral infections impose a great threat to backyard chicken production among poor rural
households in developing countries. These infections limit the contribution of chicken production
in improving the livelihoods of ...
iMAP: an integrated bioinformatics and visualization pipeline for microbiome data analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-03)
One of the major challenges facing investigators in the microbiome field is turning large numbers of reads generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms into biological knowledge. Effective analytical workflows ...
Microbial Diversity in Bushmeat Samples Recovered from the Serengeti Ecosystem in Tanzania
(Nature Publishing Group UK, 2019-12-02)
Bushmeat, the meat and organs derived from wildlife species, is a common source of animal protein in the diets of those living in sub-Saharan Africa and is frequently associated with zoonotic spillover of dangerous pathogens. ...
Innate Immune Genes Associated With Newcastle Disease Virus Load in Chick Embryos From Inbred and Outbred Lines
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019-06-20)
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes substantial economic losses to smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries with high levels of morbidity and mortality in poultry flocks. Previous investigations have suggested ...
