Leveraging host-genetics and gut microbiota to determine immunocompetence in pigs

Y. Ramayo-Caldas, L. M. Zingaretti, D. Perez-Pascual, P. A. Alexandre, A. Reverter-Gomez, A. Dalmau, R. Quintanilla, M. Ballester

This study identifies microbial biomarkers linked to immunity traits in pigs and shows that both host genetics and gut microbiota contribute to immunocompetence.

Type I and III IFNs produced by the nasal epithelia and dimmed inflammation are key features of alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection

N. Te, J. Rodon, M. Ballester, M. Perez, L. Pailler-Garcia, J. Segales, J. Vergara-Alert, A. Bensaid

This study identifies type I and III IFNs in nasal mucosa and anti-inflammatory responses as key to alpacas resolving MERS-CoV infection without severe symptoms.
