Genome wide association studies (GWAS) identify QTL on SSC2 and SSC17 affecting loin peak shear force in crossbred commercial pigs
Download2016-02-22
Miar, Younes, Wang, Zhiquan, Kemp, Robert A., Boddicker, Nicholas, Yang, Tianfu, Plastow, Graham, Zhang, Chunyan, Charagu, Patrick, Bruce, Heather
Of all the meat quality traits, tenderness is considered the most important with regard to eating quality and market value. In this study we have utilised genome wide association studies (GWAS) for peak shear force (PSF) of loin muscle as a measure of tenderness for 1,976 crossbred commercial...

Genome-wide whole blood microRNAome and transcriptome analyses revealed miRNA-mRNA regulated host response to foodborne pathogen Salmonella infection in swine
Download2015-07-31
Arantes, Adriano S., Tuggle, Christopher K., Guan, Le L., Bearson, Shawn M.D., Sun, Xu, Plastow, Graham S., Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Stothard, Paul, Liang, Guanxiang
To understand the role of miRNAs in regulating genes involved in host response to bacterial infection and shedding of foodborne pathogens, a systematic profiling of miRNAs and mRNAs from the whole blood of pigs upon Salmonella challenge was performed. A total of 62 miRNAs were differentially...

Genomic Prediction of Piglet Responses to Infection with One or Two Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Isolates
Download2018-01-01
Waide, Emily H., Tuggle, Christopher K., Serao, Nick V. I., Schroyen, Martine, Hess, Andrew, Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Plastow, Graham, Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Genomic prediction of the pig’s response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) would be a useful tool in the swine industry. This study investigated the accuracy of genomic prediction based on porcine SNP60 Beadchip data using training and validation datasets...

Kinome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected prior to vaccination reveals biomarkers and potential mechanisms of vaccine unresponsiveness in pigs

Lipsit, Sean W. L., Wilkinson, James, Scruten, Erin, Facciuolo, Antonio, Denomy, Connor, Griebel, Philip J., Kusalik, Anthony, Plastow, Graham, Napper, Scott
Inter-individual variance in host immune responses following vaccination can result in failure to develop protective immunity leaving individuals at risk for infection in addition to compromising herd immunity. While developing more efficacious vaccines is one strategy to mitigate this problem,...

Maternal and fetal predictors of fetal viral load and death in third trimester, type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infected pregnant gilts
Download2015-09-25
Wilkinson, Jamie M., Lunney, Joan K., Detmer, Susan E., Ladinig, Andrea, Harding, John C.S., Ashley, Carolyn, Plastow, Graham
Minimal research has focused on understanding mechanisms underlying porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induced reproductive failure. We have completed a large-scale project investigating phenotypic and genotypic predictors of reproductive PRRS severity in which numerous...

Neonatal Exposure to Amoxicillin Alters Long-Term Immune Response Despite Transient Effects on Gut-Microbiota in Piglets
Download2019-01-01
Fouhse, Janelle M., Yang, Kaiyuan, More-Bayona, Juan, Gao, Yanhua, Goruk, Susan, Plastow, Graham, Field, Catherine J., Barreda, Daniel R., Willing, Benjamin P.
Antibiotic exposure during neonatal development may result in transient or persistent alterations of key microbes that are vital for normal development of local and systemic immunity, potentially impairing immune competence later in life. To further elucidate the relationship between antibiotic...

Raszek, Mikolaj M., Plastow, Graham S., Guan, Le L.
Although infectious diseases impose a heavy economic burden on the cattle industry, the etiology of many disorders that affect livestock is not fully elucidated, and effective countermeasures are often lacking. The main tools available until now have been vaccines, antibiotics and antiparasitic...
