The emergence of classical BSE from atypical/Nor98 scrapie
(National Academy of Sciences, 2019-12-16)
Atypical/Nor98 scrapie (AS) is a prion disease of small ruminants. Currently there are no efficient measures to control this form of prion disease, and, importantly, the zoonotic potential and the risk ...
Effect of microalgal biomass incorporation into foods: Nutritional and sensorial attributes of the end products
(Elsevier, 2019-06-04)
Despite the high content of macro- and micro-nutrients found in microalgae, only a limited number of products containing microalgae have been launched into the market. Most of these products were marketed ...
Differential contribution of the two major polygalacturonases from Penicillium digitatum to virulence towards citrus fruit
(Elsevier, 2018-05-31)
The fungus Penicillium digitatum is the causal agent of the citrus green mould, the major postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Lesions on the surface of infected fruits first appear as soft areas around ...
Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which

(MDPI, 2019-01-08)
High temperature is one of the most detrimental abiotic stresses in tomatoes. Many studies
highlighted that even small increases in temperature can alter the plant reproductive system, causing ...
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 ...
