While honey bees get Deformed wing virus (DWV) from a parasitic mite, Varroa destructor, the presence of the parasite is not a likely factor in increasing the spread of the disease for other insects, according to a recent study.
A team of researchers from the University of Minnesota and Kansas State University has partnered in a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Center for Veterinary Medicine (FDA-CVM) to develop pilot systems for collecting and analyzing antimicrobial use data from U.S. beef feedlot, dairy, swine, turkey, and chicken production settings.
A recent study is among the first to identify genes that may lead to immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA), a life-threatening autoimmune disorder.
A recent pilot study established processes for voluntary data sharing on how swine producers use antibiotics.
Research roundup: Can giving immune stimulants around transportation reduce disease in dairy calves?
A team of researchers led by Luciano Caixeta, DVM, PhD, recently published a study that found administering an immune stimulant (IS) prior to transportation reduced the likelihood of treatment for respiratory diseases during the first 30 days of life.
University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) faculty are collaborating with researchers at the School of Public Health (SPH) to roll out a surveillance study of COVID-19 among asymptomatic populations.
Canine hemangiosarcoma is a relatively common cancer in dogs, found in the inner lining of blood vessels.
Emerging viral infectious diseases are a major threat to the swine industry worldwide.
Bacteriophage (phages) — viruses that infect and replicate within bacteria — are known for their ability to evade their host’s defense mechanisms.
Antibiotics are critical for treating many infections, but resistance to these valuable drugs, known as antimicrobial resistance (AMR), threatens their effectiveness and introduces additional health issues.
