(Journal of Phycology, 2020-10-21)The paraphyletic diatom genus Nitzschia comprises over 1000 morphologically distinct pennate taxa, known from the benthos and plankton of freshwater, brackish and marine environments. The principal ... -
A Polyuridine Insertion in the 3′ Untranslated Region of Classical Swine Fever Virus Activates Immunity and Reduces Viral Virulence in Piglets
(Journal of Virology, 2020-01-06)Low-virulence classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strains make CSF eradication particularly difficult. Few data are available on the molecular determinants of CSFV virulence. The aim of the present study ... -
A Production Calendar Based on Water Temperature, Spat Size, and Husbandry Practices Reduce OsHV-1 μvar Impact on Cultured Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta (Catalonia), Mediterranean Coast of Spain
(Frontiers in Physiology, 2017-03-03)Since 2006, the production of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Ebro Delta area has dramatically declined from around 800 metric tons (MT) per year to 138 MT in 2011. This decline in production ... -
A proof‑of‑concept study to investigate the efficacy of heat‑inactivated autovaccines in Mycobacterium caprae experimentally challenged goats
(Scientific Reports, 2022-12-22)This study aimed to assess the efficacy of a heat-inactivated Mycobacterium caprae (HIMC) vaccine in goats experimentally challenged with the same strain of M. caprae. Twenty-one goats were divided into ... -
A proposal of nitrogen balance in a very high density olive orchard
(Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences, 2016-05-01)The nitrogen (N) balance was estimated in a very high density olive orchard in north- east of Spain, in order to calculate the inputs and outputs of N related to tree response and soil nitrogen availability. ... -
A prospective longitudinal study of risk factors associated with cattle lameness in southern Alberta feedlots
(Canadian Journal of Animal Science, 2021-03-15)The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence proportion of lameness in feedlot cattle and the associated risk factors. Lameness was studied in two southern Alberta feedlots over a 2 yr ... -
A Protein Misfolding Shaking Amplificationbased method for the spontaneous generation of hundreds of bona fide prions
(Nature Communications, 2024-03-08)Prion diseases are a group of rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders caused by the misfolding of the endogenous prion protein (PrPC) into a pathogenic form (PrPSc). This process, despite being ... -
