Schmallenberg virus detection in Culicoides biting midges in Spain: First laboratory evidence for highly efficient infection of Culicoides of the Obsoletus complex and Culicoides imicola
(Wiley, 2017-05-04)
Since Schmallenberg disease was discovered in 2011, the disease rapidly spread across Europe. Culicoides biting midges have been implicated as putative Schmallenberg vectors in Europe. The detection of ...
Linking fish-based biological indicators with hydrological dynamics in a Mediterranean river: Relevance for environmental flow regimes
(Elsevier, 2018-08-07)
The relationship between flow dynamics and biological communities becomes especially relevant in Mediterranean rivers. Given their natural variability and growing anthropogenic pressures, their low ...
Dependence of sediment sorting on bedload transport phase in a river meander
(Wiley, 2018-03-05)
It is widely recognized nowadays that there are at least two different phases of bedload sediment transport in gravel‐bed rivers. However, the transition between these phases is still poorly or subjectively ...
Toxoplasma gondii infection in wild mustelids and cats across an urban-rural gradient
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-20)
The increase in human population and domestic pets, such as cats, are generating important consequences in terms of habitat loss and pathogen pollution of coastal ecosystems with potential to generate ...
Assessment of the in vitro growing dynamics and kinetics of the non-pathogenic J and pathogenic 11 and 232 Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strains
(BioMed Central, 2018-05-25)
Information on the in vitro growth of pathogenic and non-pathogenic Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) strains is scarce and controversial. Despite its limitations, the colour changing units ...
Porcine circovirus 3 is highly prevalent in serum and tissues and may persistently infect wild boar (Sus scrofa scrofa)
(Wiley, 2018-08-08)
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV‐3) prevalence has been minimally investigated in wild boar; dynamics of infection and viral tissue distribution are currently unknown. In this study, serum samples from 518 ...
Seasonal-and dose-dependent effects of recombinant gonadotropins on sperm production and quality in the flatfish Solea senegalensis
(Elsevier, 2018-07-02)
Consecutive treatments with recombinant follicle-stimulating and luteinizing hormones (rFsh and rLh, respectively) stimulate spermatogenesis and potentiate sperm production in pubescent specimens of the ...
Dietary nucleotide mixture effects on reproductive and performance, ovary fatty acid profile and biochemical parameters of female Pacific shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
(Wiley, 2017-06-22)
The effects of different dietary nucleotide mixture (NT) levels (0, 2, 4 and 6 g/kg) were investigated on the reproductive performance, fatty acid profile and biochemical parameters in Litopenaeus ...
West Nile virus and other mosquito-borne viruses present in Eastern Europe
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-07-06)
Eastern Europe (EE) has been severely affected by mosquito-borne viruses (moboviruses). In
this review, we summarize the epidemiology of moboviruses, with particular attention to
West Nile virus (WNV). ...
The analysis of genome composition and codon bias reveals distinctive patterns between avian and mammalian circoviruses which suggest a potential recombinant origin for Porcine circovirus 3
(Public Library of Science, 2018-06-29)
Members of the genus Circovirus are host-specific viruses, which are totally dependent on cell machinery for their replication. Consequently, certain mimicry of the host genome features is expected to ...
