Bacterial diversity of aMasi, a South African fermented milk product, determined by clone library and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)In the present study, we investigated the bacterial diversity of aMasi, a traditional South African fermented milk product, by 16S rRNA clone library and Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE) analysis. Two hundred and eighty two clones from clone library were isolated and identified from aMasi, prepared from the milk of four cows from one herd in the EkuPindiseni Community, North West of ... -
Endosymbiotic pathogen-inhibitory gut bacteria in three Indian Major Carps under polyculture system: A step toward making a probiotics consortium
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-10)The gastrointestinal (GI) microbiome in fish plays significant roles in health and disease resistance. This investigation was accomplished to enumerate, characterize and identify the potential probiotic bacteria from three Indian Major Carps (IMCs), viz., rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) using culture dependent methods. Altogether, 105 pathogen-inhibitory ... -
Orf virus infection in Alaskan mountain goats, Dall’s sheep, muskoxen, caribou and Sitka black-tailed deer
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2018-02-21)Background: <br>The zoonotic Orf virus (ORFV; genus Parapoxvirus, Poxviridae family) occurs worldwide and is transmit‑ted between sheep and goats, wildlife and man. Archived tissue samples from 16 Alaskan wildlife cases, representing mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus, n= 8), Dall’s sheep (Ovis dalli dalli, n= 3), muskox (Ovibos moschatus, n= 3), Sitka black‑tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis, ... -
Pathogen Exposure in White Whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Svalbard, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-12-29)The Svalbard white whale (Delphinapterus leucas) population is one of the smallest in the world, making it particularly vulnerable to challenges such as climate change and pathogens. In this study, serum samples from live captured (2001-2016) white whales from this region were investigated for influenza A virus (IAV) antibodies (Abs) (n = 27) and RNA (n = 25); morbillivirus (MV) Abs (n = 3) and RNA ... -
Pathogen surveillance in Southern Ocean pinnipeds
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-17)Knowledge of the health status and potential effect of disease outbreaks among Southern Ocean fauna may be decisive for its conservation. We assessed the exposure and infection of Antarctic fur seals (<i>Arctocephalus gazella</i>, AFS) and Southern elephant seals (<i>Mirounga leonine</i>, SES) to parapoxvirus, <i>Phocid alphaherpesvirus-1</i> (PhHV-1), smooth <i>Brucella</i> spp. and <i>Toxoplasma ... -
A Screening for Virus Infections among Wild Eurasian Tundra Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Iceland, 2017–2019
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-23)A winter population of around 4000–5000 wild Eurasian tundra reindeer (<i>Rangifer t. tarandus</i>) in the eastern part of Iceland represents descendants from 35 semi-domesticated reindeer imported to Iceland from Finnmark county, Norway, in 1787. While previous studies have indicated that they host fewer parasite species as compared to reindeer in Fennoscandia, little information exists on their ... -
A Screening for Virus Infections in Eight Herds of Semi-domesticated Eurasian Tundra Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Norway, 2013–2018
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-12)Background: Previous serological screenings have indicated that Eurasian semi-domesticated tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Finnmark, Northern Norway, are exposed to alphaherpesvirus, gammaherpesvirus and pestivirus. Alphaherpesvirus (i.e., Cervid herpesvirus 2; CvHV2) has been identified as the transmissible component of infectious keratoconjunctivitis (IKC). Limited knowledge exists ... -
Serological evidence of hepatitis e virus infection in semi-domesticated eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-25)Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is a common cause of viral hepatitis in humans. In developing countries, HEV-infections seem to be mainly associated with pigs, but other animal species may be involved in viral transmission. Recently, anti-HEV antibodies were detected in Norwegian wild reindeer. Here, we investigated anti-HEV seroprevalence in Norwegian semi-domesticated reindeer, animals in closer contact ... -
A serological screening for potential viral pathogens among semi-domesticated Eurasian tundra reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) in Finland
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-02-22)Reindeer herding and husbandry is a traditional and important livelihood in Fennoscandia, and about 200,000 semi-domesticated reindeer are herded in Finland. Climatic changes, leading to ice-locked winter pastures, and encroachment of pasture-land have led to changes in reindeer husbandry, increasing the extent of supplementary or full ration feeding, which has become very common in Finland. Keeping ... -
Why are Svalbard Arctic foxes Brucella spp. seronegative?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2022-07-06)Arctic foxes (Vulpes lagopus) are susceptible to smooth Brucella (s-Brucella) infection and may be exposed to such bacteria through the consumption of infected marine mammals, as implied by the finding of s-Brucella antibodies in polar bears (Ursus maritimus). Arctic foxes in Svalbard have not previously been investigated for s-Brucella antibodies, but such antibodies have been detected in Arctic ...
