Paired spawning with male rotation of meagre Argyrosomus regius using GnRHa injections, as a method for producing multiple families for breeding selection programs
(Elsevier, 2018-06-08)
Weekly gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) injections were used to induce spawning in paired male and female meagre (Argyrosomus regius) with a weekly rotation of the males, in order to produce ...
Emergence and spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza A(H5N8) in Europe in 2016‐2017
(Wiley, 2018-03-14)
Circulation of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) viruses poses a continuousthreat to animal and public health. After the 2005–2006 H5N1 and the 2014–2015H5N8 epidemics, another H5N8 is currently ...
African swine fever virus does not express viral microRNAs in experimentally infected pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-03)
Background: African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the etiological agent of African swine fever (ASF), a re-expanding
devastating and highly lethal hemorrhagic viral disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a new ...
Role of AMPK signalling pathway during compensatory growth in pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-17)
Background: The molecular basis of compensatory growth in monogastric animals has not yet been fully explored.
Herewith, in this study we aim to determine changes in the pig skeletal muscle transcriptome ...
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 ...
Dependence of pH values in the digestive tract of freshwater fishes on some abiotic and biotic factors
(Springer, 2017-10-09)
The values of pH in the digestive tracts of 20 freshwater fish species inhabiting various Russian Federation waterbodies were studied. Only in six species (Coregonus lavaretus, Coregonus migratorius, ...
Occurrence of cyclic imines in European commercial seafood and consumers risk assessment
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)
Cyclic imines constitute a quite recently discovered group of marine biotoxins that act on neural receptors and that bioaccumulate in seafood. They are grouped together due to the imino group functioning ...
Herbivore control in connected seascapes: habitat determines when population regulation occurs in the life history of a key herbivore
(Wiley, 2018-02-08)
Herbivore outbreaks often trigger catastrophic overgrazing events in marine macrophyte ecosystems. The sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus, the dominant herbivore of shallow Mediterranean seascapes, is ...
Chimeric camel/human heavy-chain antibodies protect against MERS-CoV infection
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-08-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) continues to cause outbreaks in humans as a result of spillover events from dromedaries. In contrast to humans, MERS-CoV–exposed dromedaries develop ...
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 ...
