Boid inclusion body disease is also a disease of wild Boa Constrictors
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-09-12)Reptarenaviruses cause boid inclusion body disease (BIBD), a poten- tially fatal disease, occurring in captive constrictor snakes boas and pythons worldwide. Classical BIBD, characterized by the formation of pathognomonic ... -
Bone lesions caused by pythium insidiosum in a horse
(Oxford University Press, 1987-10-02)A 5-year-old, female saddle horse developed a tumoral mass anterolaterally on the metacarpal region of its right front leg. Histopathological study showed hyaline, aseptate, broad hyphae in the sequestered coral-like ... -

Bovine Leukaemia‐virus infection in Costa Rica
(Blackwell Wissenschaft, 1995)The geographical distribution of bovine leukaemia‐virus (BLV)‐infected herds in Costa Rica and the isolation of BLV from cases of enzootic bovine leukosis are presented. It was found that BLV is prevalent throughout the ... -
Breeding soundness evaluation of extensively managed bulls in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 1999-02-17)This paper describes the results of single breeding soundness evaluations (BSE) in 898 Bos indicus, Bos taurus and B. indicus x B. taurus bulls, 1 to 12 yr. old, extensively reared in different climatic regions of Costa ... -
Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) in urban ecosystems: are the constraints related to fieldwork a limit to their study?
(Springer, 2018-07-05)Nowadays, the majority of human beings live in urban ecosystems, with this proportion expected to continue increasing in the future. With the growing importance of urban rat-associated issues (e.g. damages to urban ... -
Brucella abortus induces the premature death of human neutrophils through the action of Its lipopolysaccharide
(PLoS Pathogens, 2015-05-06)Most bacterial infections induce the activation of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), enhance their microbicidal function, and promote the survival of these leukocytes for protracted periods of time. Brucella abortus ... -
Brucella abortus lipopolysaccharide in murine peritoneal macrophages acts as a down-regulator of T cell activation
(The American Association of Immunologists, Inc., 2000)Macrophages play a central role in host immune responses against pathogens by acting as both professional phagocytic cells and as fully competent APCs. We report here that the LPS from the facultative intracellular ... -
Brucella abortus ornithine lipids are dispensable outer membrane components devoid of a marked pathogen-associated molecular pattern
(PLoS One, 2011-01-07)The brucellae are a-Proteobacteria facultative intracellular parasites that cause an important zoonosis. These bacteria escape early detection by innate immunity, an ability associated to the absence of marked pathogen-associated ... -
Brucella abortus S19 GFP-tagged vaccine allows the serological identification of vaccinated cattle
(PLOS ONE, 2021-11-22)Bovine brucellosis induces abortion in cows, produces important economic losses, and causes a widely distributed zoonosis. Its eradication was achieved in several countries after sustained vaccination with the live ... -
Brucella abortus senses the intracellular environment through the BvrR/Bvrs two-component system, which allows B. abortus to adapt to its replicative nich
(American Society for Microbiology., 2018-01-16)Brucella abortus is a facultative extracellular-intracellular pathogen belonging to a group of Alphaproteobacteria that establishes close interactions with animal cells. This bacterium enters host cells in a membrane-bound ... -
Brucella abortus strain 2308 Wisconsin genome: Importance of the definition of reference strains
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016-09-29)La brucelosis es una enfermedad infecciosa bacteriana que afecta a una amplia gama de mamíferos y una zoonosis desatendida causada por especies del género genéticamente homogéneo Brucella. Como en la mayoría de los estudios ... -
Brucella abortus transits through the autophagic pathway and replicates in the endoplasmic reticulum of nonprofessional phagocytes
(American Society for Microbiology, 1988-09-01)Brucella abortus is an intracellular pathogen that replicates within a membrane-bounded compartment. In this study, we have examined the intracellular pathway of the virulent B. abortus strain 2308 (S2308) and the attenuated ... -
Brucella abortus uses a stealthy strategy to avoid activation of the innate immune system during the onset of infection
(PLOS ONE, 2007-07-18)Background. To unravel the strategy by which Brucella abortus establishes chronic infections, we explored its early interaction with innate immunity. Methodology/Principal Findings. Brucella did not induce proinflammatory ... -
Brucella canis is an intracellular pathogen that induces a lower proinflammatory response than smooth zoonotic counterparts
(Infection and Immunity, 2015-09-29)Canine brucellosis caused by Brucella canis is a disease of dogs and a zoonotic risk. B. canis harbors most of the virulence determinants defined for the genus, but its pathogenic strategy remains unclear since it has not ... -
