Phylogenetic characterization of the first Ungulate tetraparvovirus 2 detected in pigs in Brazil

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Ungulate tetraparvovirus 2 (UTV2) , formerly known as porcine hokovirus due to its discovery in Hong Kong, is closely related to a Primate tetraparvovirus (human PARV-4) and Ungulate tetraparvovirus 1 (bovine hokovirus). Until now, UTV2 was detected in European, Asian and North American countrie...

Evaluation of a MPB70-ELISA to differentiate Mycobacterium bovis from M. avium-sensitized swine

Pesqui. vet. bras; 34 (11), 2014
Swine are susceptible to different mycobacteria species, being Mycobacterium bovis an agent of tuberculosis, with most significant zoonotic risks, while M. avium determines a granulomatous lymphadenitis with low zoonotic risk. Currently performed intradermal tests present some important limitations, such...
