Evaluation of the humoral immune responses of brucellosis vaccine (Rev.1) in sheep: A study from Iran by J. Gharekhani, E. Barati, M. Dadar

“…The results demonstrated the stimulation of humoral immune responses in the target animals through the native vaccine, which could be employed to immunise livestock in endemic areas like Iran. The ELISA test proved to be more effective than conventional tests in revealing the serological response induced by Rev.1 vaccination, although ELISA may not reliably distinguish between anti-bodies generated by the vaccine and those resulting from the disease.…”

Inhibition of early EHDV2-Ibaraki infection steps in bovine cells by endosome alkalinization or ikarugamycin, but not by blockage of individual endocytic pathways by Maya Malka, Inbar Czaczkes, Shlomi Kashkash, Shirel Shachar, Eran Bacharach, Marcelo Ehrlich

“…A subset of EHDV serotypes, including the Ibaraki strain of EHDV2 (EHDV2-Ibaraki), infect and cause disease in cattle, thus posing a potential threat to livestock. As a member of the Sedoreoviridae family, the EHDV particle is devoid of a membrane envelope and is predicted to employ endocytic pathways for infection. …”
