The project aims to develop two integrated technologies to proactively mitigate outbreaks of the Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory...
- This federal Project Grant award of $237,204.00 from the USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program (CFDA 10.310), will fund research into using gut microbiome modulation as an alternative approach to control Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) in swine. The key objectives of this 18-month project, led by the Regents of the University of Minnesota, are to investigate the effects of microbiome...
- This $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program will support research to better understand the causes of Streptococcus suis (S. suis) disease in swine production. The project, conducted by Texas Tech University System, will investigate the relationship between the nasopharyngeal microbiome and S. suis disease, detect co-circulating S. suis...
- The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $800,000 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program to Louisiana State University (LSU) to engineer a novel vaccine vector platform. The key objectives are to: Incorporate PRRSV envelope proteins into a pseudorabies virus vector and evaluate its protective efficacy against virulent PRRSV challenge strains. PRRSV is a devastating swine virus that causes significant economic losses in the...
- The University of Illinois has received a $650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The purpose of this 4-year grant is to conduct research to identify specific regions and domains in the CD163 protein that are critical for infection by the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The research aims to generate modifications to the...
- This Project Grant award of $249,995.00, provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program, aims to enhance and promote Integrated Pest Management (IPM)-based biological control in Tennessee. The key objectives are to: 1) identify stakeholder interests, needs, and issues related to using biological control and conservation biological control of...
- The Regents of the University of Minnesota received a $799,993 Project Grant award from the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) federal grant program (CFDA #10.310). The grant will fund the creation of an integrative data science platform to predict the immunogenic and epidemiologic phenotype of Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus-Type 2 (PRRSV-2) variants through applying...
- This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) CFDA 10.310 program provides $649,991 to the University of Illinois to conduct research on inflammatory responses in swine. The project aims to compare gene expression profiles in macrophages from wild-type and CD163 knockout pigs, evaluate the impact of porcine circovirus type 2D infection on macrophage inflammatory...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Capacity Building Grants for Non-Land Grant Colleges of Agriculture (CFDA 10.326) program provides $599,688 to Tennessee State University (TSU) to explore the role of non-coding RNAs in porcine macrophages infected by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV). The key objectives of this 3-year project are to profile non-coding RNAs in porcine macrophages, validate miRNA biomarkers for macrophage phenotyping, and develop a miRNA-based platform to modulate antiviral functions. By comparing molecular markers from macrophages activated by antiviral cytokines or infected with PRRSV strains, the project aims to guide the development of vaccines that enhance immune responses. The project will also integrate these research findings into TSU's educational curriculum to provide students with cutting-edge knowledge in animal genetics, health, and biotechnology.
