Background: In Catalonia (north-eastern Spain), Taenia saginata has been described in cattle but its occurrence in
humans is unclear. Moreover, whether cattle acquired the infection in Catalonia or ...
Effect of Ppd-A1 and Ppd-B1 Allelic Variants on Grain Number and Thousand Kernel Weight of Durum Wheat and Their Impact on Final Grain Yield
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-06-29)
The main yield components in durum wheat are grain number per unit area (GN) and
thousand kernel weight (TKW), both of which are affected by environmental conditions.
The most critical developmental ...
Indirect genetic effect model using feeding behaviour traits to define the degree of interaction between mates: an implementation in pigs growth rate
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-06-06)
An alternative implementation of the animal model including indirect genetic effect (IGE) is presented considering pair-mate-specific interaction degrees to improve the performance of the model. Data ...
Rapid capture and detection of ostreid herpesvirus-1 from Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and seawater using magnetic beads
(Public Library of Science, 2018-10-03)
Ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1) has been involved in mass mortality episodes of Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas throughout the world, causing important economic losses to the aquaculture industry. In ...
Dietary aquaculture by-product hydrolysates: impact on the transcriptomic response of the intestinal mucosa of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fed low fish meal diets
(BMC, 2018-05-24)
Aquaculture production is expected to double by 2030, and demands for aquafeeds and raw materials are expected to increase accordingly. Sustainable growth of aquaculture will require the development of ...
Efficacy of a non-pheromone semiochemical for trapping of western flower thrips in the presence of competing plant volatiles in a nectarine orchard
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaría, 2018-07-25)
Non-pheromone semiochemicals or allelochemicals (kairomones, synomones, allomones) are often derived from, or are similar to,
host plant odours and depending on their use, these semiochemicals may have ...
