Trust, agreements, and occasional breakdowns: Veterinarians' perspectives on farmer-veterinarian relationships and use of antimicrobials for Swedish dairy cattle
(Elsevier, 2023)Studies have shown that farmer-veterinarian relationships influence antimicrobial use (AMU) in livestock, though how they do so is unclear. On the one hand, research shows that well-established veterinarian-farmer relationships ... -
Ecosystem-level effects of re-oligotrophication and N:P imbalances in rivers and estuaries on a global scale
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2022)Trends and ecological consequences of phosphorus (P) decline and increasing nitrogen (N) to phosphorus (N:P) ratios in rivers and estuaries are reviewed and discussed. Results suggest that re-oligotrophication is a dominant ... -
Kinetics of Placental Infection by Different Smooth Brucella Strains in Mice
(MDPI, 2022)Abortion and reproductive failures induced by Brucella are the main symptoms of animal brucellosis. Laboratory animal models are essential tools of research to study the Brucella pathogenesis before experimentation in ... -
Influenza D Virus: What about its role in the Bovine Respiratory Syndrome?
(MDPI, 2022-12-05)Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is one of the most prevalent, deadly, and costly diseases in young cattle. BRD has been recognized as a multifactorial disease caused mainly by viruses (bovine herpesvirus, BVDV, parainfluenza-3 ... -
Ovarian response to prostaglandin F2α in lactating dairy cows: A clinical update
(Society for Reproduction and Development, 2022)Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and its analogs are used to induce luteolysis in estrus synchronization programs to terminate unwanted pregnancies or to promote ovulation in certain cow subpopulations. In the past few decades, ... -
How Streptococcus suis escapes antibiotic treatments
(NLM, 2022)Streptococcus suis is a zoonotic agent that causes sepsis and meningitis in pigs and humans. S. suis infections are responsible for large economic losses in pig production. The lack of effective vaccines to prevent the ... -
Second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides in the blood of obligate and facultative European avian scavengers
(Elsevier, 2022)The widespread use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) and their high persistence in animal tissues has led to these compounds becoming ubiquitous in rodent-predator-scavenger food webs. Exposure to ... -
Revealing genomic insights of the unexplored porcine pathogen actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae using whole genome sequencing
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022)Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae (APP) is the causative agent of pleuropneumonia in pigs, one of the most relevant bacterial respiratory diseases in the swine industry. To date, 19 serotypes have been described based on ... -
Scavenging in changing environments: woody encroachment shapes rural scavenger assemblages in Europe
(Wiley, 2022)Rural abandonment and subsequent vegetation regeneration (‘passive rewilding') are expected to increase worldwide, producing cascades of dynamic socioeconomic, landscape and biological changes. Although landscape characteristics ... -
First Steps into Ruminal Microbiota Robustness
(MDPI, 2022)Despite its central role in ruminant nutrition, little is known about ruminal microbiota robustness, which is understood as the ability of the microbiota to cope with disturbances. The aim of the present review is to ... -
Assessing mammal trapping standards in wild boar drop‑net capture
(Springer Nature, 2022)Applying contemporary trapping standards when managing wildlife should no longer be an option, but a duty. Increasing wild boar populations originate a growing number of conflicts and hunting is the only cost-effective ... -
Clinical overview of luteal deficiency in dairy cattle
(MDPI, 2022)Luteal deficiency is defined as reduced progesterone (P4) steroidogenesis by the corpus luteum (CL), either in the amount or duration, or both. This work provides a clinical overview of the current understanding of luteal ... -
Technological Tools for the Early Detection of Bovine Respiratory Disease in Farms
(MDPI, 2022)Classically, the diagnosis of respiratory disease in cattle has been based on observation of clinical signs and the behavior of the animals, but this technique can be subjective, time-consuming and labor intensive. It ... -
Heterogeneous populations from in vitro cultures of antigen presenting cells in pigs
(Elsevier, 2021)Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen presenting cells (APCs). Because of the difficulty in obtaining these cells directly from tissues, different sources of DCs are frequently used for in vitro experimentation ... -
Ultrasound-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Chemodectomas in Five Dogs
(MDPI, 2021)Chemodectomas are low prevalence tumors with complex clinical management. Many present as an incidental finding however, in other dogs, they produce pericardial effusion and/or compression, leading to the appearance of ... -
Canine Tonsillar Polyps: Characteristics, Classification, and Review of the Pathogenesis
(SAGE Publications, 2021)Canine tonsillar polyps are uncommon. We describe 14 tonsillar polyps in dogs and review their classification and pathogenesis. All dogs were adult (3–13 years old). Females (10/14) were more affected than males (4/14). ... -

Restrictive but not restricted: Perspectives on antimicrobial use andantimicrobial resistance among Swedish dairy veterinarians
(Wiley Open Access; British Veterinary Association, 2021)Background and aims:In Europe, the antimicrobial use (AMU) for food-producinganimals has decreased rapidly. However, studies indicate that a too strict policy, with toorestrictive AMU, is potentially problematic for ... -
Genomic prediction with whole-genome sequence data in intensely selected pig lines
(BMC, 2022-09-24)Background: Early simulations indicated that whole-genome sequence data (WGS) could improve the accuracy of genomic predictions within and across breeds. However, empirical results have been ambiguous so far. Large datasets ... -
Effect of Maternal Dietary Condensed Tannins from Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) on Gut Health and Antioxidant-Immune Crosstalk in Suckling Lambs
(MDPI, 2022-10-14)Ewes fed sainfoin (a source of condensed tannins "CT") may influence the homeostasis of the gastrointestinal tract of suckling lambs. This study investigated the effects of CT from sainfoin in the maternal diet on plasma ...
