Background Processing and analyzing whole genome sequencing (WGS) is computationally
intense: a single Illumina MiSeq WGS run produces ~ 1 million 250-base-pair reads for …

Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) of bacterial pathogens is an emerging public
health threat. This threat extends to pets as it also compromises our ability to treat their …

Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a globally distributed plant-pathogenic bacterium. The primary
control strategy for Xf diseases is eradicating infected plants; therefore, timely and accurate …

Four types of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) variants with a large deletion in the
spike protein were detected, together with the original US PEDV, from pig fecal and oral fluid …

Using a day as our unit of analysis (ie, n= 60 in the analysis), we first assessed Pearson
product-moment correlations between news coverage, social media mentions, and online …

There is a growing need for public health and veterinary laboratories to perform whole
genome sequencing (WGS) for monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and protecting the …

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has changed our understanding of bacterial pathogens,
aiding outbreak investigations and advancing our knowledge of their genetic features. …

Infection of domestic swine with highly virulent, classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strain
Brescia, causes lethal disease in all infected animals. However, the molecular mechanisms …

The practice of feeding raw meat-based diets to dogs has grown in popularity worldwide in
recent years. However, there are public health risks in handling and feeding raw meat-based …

With the cost of next-generation sequencing (NGS) decreasing, this technology is rapidly
being integrated into the workflows of veterinary clinical and diagnostic laboratories nationwide…
