Project description:RNA-Seq has been an effective method for exploring pathology-associated transcriptional changes in peripheral blood. The main goal of this study is to explore the expression changes of transcripts in the peripheral blood of sick pigs which may be infected with multiple pathogens on farms. We aim to find a subset of marker genes which may be useful candidate genes in the evaluation and prediction of health status in pigs under commercial production conditions.
Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate the response in gene expression before and after exposure to the Benzimidazoles drug flubendazole in adult female Ascaridia galli worms. The nematode Ascaridia galli (order Ascaridida) is an economically important intestinal parasite responsible for increased food consumption, reduced performance, and mortality in commercial poultry production. Parasite control relies on repeated use of dewormers (anthelmintics). Benzimidazoles are currently the only anthelmintic registered against A. galli in the EU and there is an obvious risk that overuse of one drug class may lead to resistance. The worms were collected from a commercial laying hen farms before and on day three during a treatment period of 7 days with flubendazole.
Project description:Comparison of gene expression in dendritic cells (DCs) isolated from tumors of C57BL/6 obtained from Taconic farms vs DCs isolated from tumor of C57BL/6 mice obtained from Jackson Labortaory vs DCs isolated from tumors of C57BL/6 obtained from Taconic farms and orally gavaged with Bifidobacterium prior to tumor implantation

Project description:16S metagenomics analysis of fecal matter of commercial poultry farms of Faisalabad, Pakistan
Project description:A GWAS study was then performed in 52 non-adhesive and 68 strong adhesive pigs for F4ab/ac ETEC originating from 5 Belgian farms. A new refined candidate region (chr13: 144,810,100-144,993,222) for F4ac ETEC susceptibility was identified with MUC13 adjacent to the distal part of the region.
