ANTIMICROBIAL SUSCEPTIBILITY IN RESPIRATORY PATHOGENS AND FARM AND ANIMAL VARIABLES IN WEANED CALIFORNIA DAIRY HEIFERS: LOGISTIC REGRESSION AND BAYESIAN NETWORK ANALYSES

Weaned dairy heifers are a relatively understudied production group.Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the most common cause of antimicrobial drug (AMD) use, morbidity, and mortality in this production group.The study of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is complicated because many variables that may affect AMR are related.This study generates hypoth

Many efforts are being Changing Tables made to cope with negative consequences of climate change (CC) on livestock.Among them, selective breeding of resilient animals to CC is presented as an opportunity to maintain high levels of performance regardless of variation in weather.In the present work, we proposed a set of breeding strategies to improve

Abstract Viral infections pose significant threats to human health, leading to a diverse spectrum of infectious diseases.The innate immune system serves as the primary barrier against viruses and bacteria in the early stages of infection.A rapid and forceful antiviral innate immune response is triggered by distinguishing between self-nucleic acids

Abstract Background There is growing evidence that equine papillomavirus type 2 (EcPV2) infection is causally associated with the development of equine genital squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs).Early stages of disease present clinically as plaques Nail Hardener or wart-like lesions which can gradually progress to tumoural lesions.Histologically these
