Download or read book Mycoplasmas in Swine written by Dominiek Maes and published by CABI. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swine can be infected with many different mycoplasmas. Some are important pathogens, causing significant health and welfare issues in pigs and major losses to the swine industry worldwide. Other mycoplasmas are not pathogenic for swine and can be considered commensals. This book provides up-to-date scientific, clinical and practical information of the most important pathogenic mycoplasmas in swine. Most emphasis has been placed on Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae as the most economically important, but other pathogenic species like Mycoplasma hyorhinis, Mycoplasma hyosynoviae and Mycoplasma suis are also discussed. Written by internationally renowned scientists and clinicians from all over the world, this book draws together in depth knowledge, expertise and experience in swine mycoplasmas to provide an evidence-based, academically rigorous and practical collection. It aims to serve the scientific and veterinary community and the swine industry worldwide.

Download or read book Passive Transfer of Mycoplasma Bovis specific Antibodies in Calves Born to Vaccinated Dams written by Christopher Douglas Calloway and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycoplasma bovis is a bacterial pathogen that has been shown to cause respiratory disease, mastitis, polyarthritis, keratoconjunctivitis, and other diseases in cattle worldwide. High costs associated with these diseases are attributed to treatment, culling, deaths, and purchase of replacement animals. Commercially available vaccinations are also available to producers and veterinarians to be used as an added preventative measure. This research, consisting of two studies, evaluated antibody responses in late gestation dairy cattle given a commercially available M. bovis vaccination. Serum, colostrum, and milk antibodies were compared between cows receiving the vaccine and those not receiving the vaccine. The second study evaluated serum antibody response in female calves born to cows from the first study. These calves received colostrum from the cows to which they were born. Serum antibody responses were measured before ingestion of colostrum, after ingestion of colostrum, and 30 days of age. Serum antibody responses against M. bovis in vaccinated cows were significantly greater than those of non-vaccinated cows at 3 weeks after first vaccination (P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mycoplasma bovis associated diseases are newly emerging causing significant economic losses in the cattle industry. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the pathogenesis of M. bovis to develop new preventive methods to this group of diseases. The major research focus reported herein was to better understand the interactive impairment of the cattle's immune system by stress and M. bovis and subsequent increase in Mycoplasma bovis associated diseases. The first specific objective was to develop a stress model to study impairment of the bovine immune system as reflected by M. bovis shedding in colonized calves. Two experimental trials to mimic the effect of stress through synthetic glucocorticoid administration (dexamethasone) on M. bovis shedding were conducted. Results of both trials showed that the onset, the duration, and the likelihood of calves shedding M. bovis, were significantly greater in dexamethasone treated calves compared to controls. Through the second and third objectives, we evaluated neutrophil functions as affected by dexamethasone and four opsonized M. bovis strains or dexamethasone and four unopsonized M. bovis strains respectively. Dexamethasone consistently decreased all neutrophil functions tested with opsonized or unopsonized M. bovis . There were strain and strain by treatment interaction effects on some neutrophil functions. This interaction had an additive effect on neutrophil killing. The interaction of M. bovis and dexamethasone on bovine neutrophil killing might explain in part the association of stressful events with subsequent outbreaks of Mycoplasma bovis associated diseases. The stress model may aid in further study of the interaction between M. bovis and stress for evaluating new control measures for M. bovis infection in cattle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceedings of the European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technical Research (COST 825) Symposium on Mammary Gland Biology, held September 16-18, 1999, in Tours, France. It is difficult to overstate the evolutionary and functional significance of mammary tissue in biology. Substantial progress has been made by researchers in various disciplines, particularly over the last fifteen years, towards realizing the potential of this tissue to yield powerful experimental models for morphogenesis and tissue development; for cellular differentiation; for the biosynthesis and secretion of proteins, lipids, small molecules and inorganic salts; and for the coordination and regulation of these processes. More recently, the possibility of exploiting the secretory epithelial cells of mammary tissue as `cell factories' has become a reality and the recombinant production by lactating animals of an increasing number of proteins, valuable both in the pharmaceutical and `nutraceutical' fields, is in progress or under development. Also in this sphere of agricultural production, genetic as well as nutritional technologies are under investigation and exploitation to optimize milk composition for various end-uses - for instance in food process and manufacture. The possibilities of deriving health benefit from the bioactive properties of some of the minor constituents of milk are emerging to counter the highly-publicized negative health impact of excessive consumption of saturated animal fats. In human nutrition and medicine, the mammary gland is both a source of nutrition to the neonate and a potential health threat to the adult female - breast cancer remains the major single cause of female mortality in most developed countries. This volume provides a unique glimpse into our understanding, at the cutting edge of a variety of disciplines, of this versatile and extraordinary tissue, at the birth of the twenty-first century.

Download or read book Molecular Biology and Pathogenicity of Mycoplasmas written by Shmuel Razin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: was the result of the efforts of Robert Cleverdon. The rapidly developing discipline of molecular biology and the rapidly expanding knowledge of the PPLO were brought together at this meeting. In addition to the PPLO specialists, the conference invited Julius Marmur to compare PPLO DNA to DNA of other organisms; David Garfinkel, who was one of the first to develop computer models of metabolism; Cyrus Levinthal to talk about coding; and Henry Quastler to discuss information theory constraints on very small cells. The conference was an announcement of the role of PPLO in the fundamental understanding of molecular biology. Looking back 40-some years to the Connecticut meeting, it was a rather bold enterprise. The meeting was international and inter-disciplinary and began a series of important collaborations with influences resonating down to the present. If I may be allowed a personal remark, it was where I first met Shmuel Razin, who has been a leading figure in the emerging mycoplasma research and a good friend. This present volume is in some ways the fulfillment of the promise of that early meeting. It is an example of the collaborative work of scientists in building an understanding of fundamental aspects of biology.
