Low CD4/CD8 ratio in classical swine fever postnatalpersistent infection generated at 3 weeks after birth
(Wiley, 2018-11-20)
Classical swine fever virus (CSFV) is one of the most important pathogens affectingswine. After infection with a moderate virulence strain at 8 hours after birth, CSFV isable to induce viral persistence. ...
Machine learning applied to transcriptomic data to identify genes associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(BMC, 2019-03-13)
Background: To date, the molecular mechanisms that underlie residual feed intake (RFI) in pigs are unknown. Results
from diferent genome‑wide association studies and gene expression analyses are not ...
Polymorphism in the ELOVL6 Gene Is Associated with a Major QTL Effect on Fatty Acid Composition in Pigs
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-14)
Background: The ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6 (ELOVL6), the only elongase related to de novo lipogenesis, catalyzes the ratelimiting step in the elongation cycle by controlling the fatty acid balance in ...
Pathogenic Yet Environmentally Friendly? Black Fungal Candidates for Bioremediation of Pollutants
(Taylor and Francis, 2016-02-25)
A collection of 163 strains of black yeast-like fungi from the CBS Fungal Biodiversity Center (Utrecht, The
Netherlands), has been screened for the ability to grow on hexadecane, toluene and ...
New Mediterranean Biodiversity Records (November 2018)
(Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, 2018-12)
In the present article, new records are given for 18 species (6 native, 9 alien and 3 cryptogenic), belonging to 5 Phyla (i.e. Chlorophyta, Cnidaria, Annelida, Mollusca and Chordata), from 8 Mediterranean ...
Fast acquisition of a polysaccharide fermenting gut microbiome by juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas after settlement in coastal habitats
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-10)
Background: Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose assimilation, and hence, the
independent acquisition of herbivory required the establishment of new endosymbiotic ...
LCFA Uptake and FAT/CD36: molecular cloning, tissue expression and mRNA expression responses to dietary oil sources in grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-08-10)
The fatty acid translocase (FAT/CD36) plays an important role in trans-membrane uptake of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) and has been identified and described in many organisms, while little is known ...
Genetic profiling of Mycobacterium bovis strains from slaughtered cattle in Eritrea
(Public Library of Science, 2018-04-17)
Mycobacterium bovis (M.bovis) is the main causative agent for bovine tuberculosis (BTB) and can also be the cause of zoonotic tuberculosis in humans. In view of its zoonotic nature, slaughterhouse ...
VtaA8 and VtaA9 from Haemophilus parasuis delay phagocytosis by alveolar macrophages
(BMC, 2012-07-27)
Haemophilus parasuis, a member of the family Pasteurellaceae, is a common inhabitant of the upper respiratory tract
of healthy pigs and the etiological agent of Glässer’s disease. As other virulent ...
Myxomatosis and rabbit Haemorrhagic disease: A 30-year study of the occurrence on commercial farms in Spain
(MDPI, 2019-10-10)
In this retrospective study, we describe the relative occurrence of clinical myxomatosis, and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), on 1714 commercial farms visited in Spain, between 1988 and 2018. We ...
