Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymorphisms in Several Porcine Genes are Associated with Growth TraitsGetmantseva Lyubov, Anatoly Kolosov, Maria Leonova et al.The purpose of this study was to confirm the relation between polymorphism of POU1F1, GH, PRLR and MC4R genes and economically important traits of the Duroc pigs bred in Russia. Studies were carried out on purebred Duroc breed pigs (male n = 360). All pigs were kept under identical and standard conditions. The traits of analysis: The number of Days … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 12 Nov 2016 · 7,415 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE SWINE LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN-6 GENE GENERATED FROM SPLEENTISSUE OF KOREAN NATIVE PIGJaeyoung Kim, Hyojun Park, Yoonchung Choi, Hoyoung ChungThis study was aimed to search genetic variants, to investigate phylogenetic relationships between pig breeds and to provide basic genetic information of Korean Native Pigs (KNP) using the variations of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen-6 (SLA-6) gene. Cloning of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA)-6 gene in the MHC non-classical region was performed with spleen tissues of Korean Native Pigs (KNP). Sequencing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2014 · 7,234 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPorcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome Virus Vaccinology: A Review for Commercial VaccinesV. G. PapatsirosPorcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) since its appearance in Europe in the early 1990’s has resulted in tremendous economic losses. Under field conditions vaccination is one of the most efficient strategies for the prevention and control of PRRS. The aim of this study is to perform the PRRSV vaccinology regarding current status of commercial vaccines in Europe. There are … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2012 · 8,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractJapanese Encephalitis Virus: An Emerging PathogenSneham Tiwari, Sai V.P. Chitti, Asha Mathur, Shailendra K. SaxenaJapanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is a flavivirus maintained in a zoonotic cycle which involves pigs, birds and Culex species of mosquitoes causing fatal encephalitis endemic most of Asia and as far as Australia from its putative origin in Indonesia and Malaysia. The principle vector is Culex mosquito, most important being Culex tritaenorhynchus, present in greatest density in rainy season (June … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 2 Aug 2012 · 14,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGreenhouse Gas Emissions: Quantifying Methane Emissions from LivestockRafiu O. Yusuf, Zainura Z. Noor, Ahmad H. Abba et al.Problem statement: The rearing of animals for domestic consumption and export invariably lead to the production of methane as a product of digestion. This study investigated the emission of methane from Malaysian livestock between 1980 and 2008. Approach: Seven categories of animals identified were camel, buffalo, sheep, goats, horse, pigs and poultry. The estimation of methane was based on the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2012 · 9,538 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Porcine Mitochondrial Transcription Factor a Gene: Molecular Characterization, Radiation Hybrid Mapping and Genetic Diversity among 12 Pig BreedsTanja Kunej, Xiao-Lin Wu, Jennifer J. Michal et al.Problem statement: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nucleus-encoded protein that is a key activator of mitochondrial transcription as well as a major participant in mitochondrial genome replication. Genomic characterization of the porcine TFAM gene is, therefore, necessary to determine its involvement in regulation of fat depots and meat quality traits in pigs. Approach: Genomic DNA sequence was determined … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 6,870 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDermal Toxicity of a Repellent Formulation Containing Piper Aduncum Linnaeus (Piperales: Piperaceae) Essential OilSiti Nur Hanis Mamood, Hidayatulfathi Othman, Nurathirah Mat Nasir et al.It has been shown in previous research that Piper aduncum Linnaeus essential oil has the potential to be developed as an alternative mosquito repellent. When the essential oil was formulated into cream, it was able to provide >2h of protection against Aedes aegypti in the laboratory; thus, it can be commercialized as an alternative to synthetic repellent especially N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 12 Oct 2017 · 8,170 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRCMV ALL-03 Model and Study of CMV Pathogenesis in Congenital InfectionAshwaq Ahmed Abdullah, Krishnan Nair Balakrishnan, Yusuf Abba et al.Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is one of the most commonly studied members of the Herpesviridae family. So far several strains have been identified but human CMV (HCMV) remains the most important due to its ability to infect humans and also cross the placenta causing neonatal infection and mortality. However, there are several limitations in the study of this strain which includes availability … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 18 Jul 2015 · 8,061 accessesView PDFCite
