Arboviruses represent an emerging threat to human. They are transmitted to vertebrates by the bite of infected arthropods. Early transmission to vertebrates is initiated by skin puncture and deposition of virus in this organ. However, events at the bite site remain largely unknown. Here, we report that Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) and West Nile virus ...

The aim of this work was to investigate the immune effects of prenatal stress (PNS) in pigs, when maternal stressor is applied during early or late gestation. In two separate experiments, gilts were submitted to a social-stress routine between either days 24 and 48 (stress (S) group, n = 8 vs. control (C) group, n = 6) or days 79 and 103 of gestati...
Las enfermedades autoinmunes afectan aproximadamente al 5% de la población y comprenden un grupo heterogéneo de enfermedades de las que no se conoce suficientemente su etiología; se caracterizan por ser multifactoriales, con fuerte predisposición genética, tener asociación con factores ambientales como infecciones virales y bacterianas y con otros ...
