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 ... -
A qPCR-based method for detection and quantification of Polystigma amygdalinum, the cause of red leaf blotch of almond
(Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2018-06-12)Red leaf blotch of almond, caused by the fungus Polystigma amygdalinum, results in early defoliationof trees and decreases fruit production in many Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries. A latent ... -
A qPCR-based method for the detection and quantification of the peach powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa) in epidemiological studies
(European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2020-10-17)A qPCR-based method was developed to detect and quantify Podosphaera pannosa, the main causal agent of peach powdery mildew. A primer pair was designed to target part of the ITS region of the fungal ... -
A rapid cleaning method for diatoms
(Diatom Research, 2019-07-18)We describe here a protocol for cleaning diatoms when time is short and the amount of sample is very limited. Essentially, the method consists of drying material onto coverslips and cleaning it directly ... -
