Genome-wide analysis of porcine backfat and intramuscular fat fatty acid composition using high-density genotyping and expression data
(BMC, 2013-12-02)
Background: Porcine fatty acid composition is a key factor for quality and nutritive value of pork. Several QTLs for
fatty acid composition have been reported in diverse fat tissues. The results obtained ...
Blocking transmission of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in llamas by vaccination with a recombinant spike protein
(Taylor & Francis Open, 2019-11-12)
The ongoing Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreaks pose a worldwide public health threat. Blocking MERS-CoV zoonotic transmission from dromedary camels, the animal reservoir, ...
Temperature responsiveness of gilthead sea bream bone; an in vitro and in vivo approach
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-25)
This study aimed to characterize the molecules involved in osteogenesis in seabream and establish using in vitro/in vivo approaches the responsiveness of selected key genes to temperature. The impact ...
Immune response development after vaccination of 1-day-old naïve pigs with a Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome 1-based modified live virus vaccine
(BMC, 2019-02-02)
Background
The development of the innate and adaptive immune responses to Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) after vaccination of 1 day-old pigs with a PRRSV-1 based modified ...
Flow Regime and Nutrient-Loading Trends from the Largest South European Watersheds: Implications for the Productivity of Mediterranean and Black Sea’s Coastal Areas
(MDPI, 2018-12-20)
In the last century, large watersheds in Southern Europe have been impacted by a combination of anthropogenic and climatic pressures, which have rapidly evolved to change the ecological status of ...
A comparison of isolation methods for black fungi degrading aromatic toxins
(Springer Verlag, 2019-09-29)
The prevalence of black fungi in the order Chaetothyriales has often been underestimated due to the difficulty of their isolation. In this study, three methods which are often used to isolate black fungi ...
Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition
(BMC, 2012-10-11)
Background: New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive analysis of genomic
data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the transcriptome architectures. ...
Occurrence of tetrodotoxin in bivalves and gastropods from harvesting areas and other natural spaces in Spain
(MDPI, 2019-06-11)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent neurotoxin that is receiving increasing interest in the European Union because it has been found in different fishery products (fish, bivalves and gastropods) captured in ...
Are Tail and Ear Movements Indicators of Emotions in Tail-Docked Pigs in Response to Environmental Enrichment?
(MDPI, 2019-07-16)
The inclusion of emotional indicators in farm monitoring methods can improve welfare
assessments. Studies in controlled conditions have suggested that increased tail movement is an
indicator of positive ...
Genomic Understanding of an Infectious Brain Disease from the Desert
(Genetics Society of America, 2018-01-11)
Rhinocladiella mackenziei accounts for the majority of fungal brain infections in the Middle East, and
is restricted to the arid climate zone between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. Neurotropic dissemination ...
