Pain management in zebrafish: Report from a FELASA Working Group
(SAGE, 2023-12-05)
Empirical evidence suggests fishes meet the criteria for experiencing pain beyond a reasonable doubt and zebrafish are being increasingly used in studies of pain and nociception. Zebrafish are adopted ...
Understanding the key features of the spontaneous formation of bona fde prions through a novel methodology that enables their swift and consistent generation
(BMC, 2023-09-07)
Among transmissible spongiform encephalopathies or prion diseases afecting humans, sporadic forms such as spo‑
radic Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease are the vast majority. Unlike genetic or acquired forms ...
Impact of multi-output and stacking methods on feed efficiency prediction from genotype using machine learning algorithms
(Wiley, 2023-07-05)
Feeding represents the largest economic cost in meat production; therefore, selection to improve traits related to feed efficiency is a goal in most livestock breeding programs. Residual feed intake ...
Aquaporin splice variation differentially modulates channel function during marine teleost egg hydration
(Public Library of Science, 2023-11-27)
Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is a developmentally regulated adaptive mechanism that co-occurs with meiosis resumption in marine teleosts. It provides the early embryos with vital water until ...
Functional Evolution of Clustered Aquaporin Genes Reveals Insights into the Oceanic Success of Teleost Eggs
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03-22)
Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is considered important for the evolution of pelagic eggs and the radiative success of marine teleosts. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms controlling this ...
Efficacy of multivalent recombinant herpesvirus of turkey vaccines against high pathogenicity avian influenza, infectious bursal disease, and Newcastle disease viruses
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)
Vaccines are an essential tool for the control of viral infections in domestic animals. We generated recombinant vector herpesvirus of turkeys (vHVT) vaccines expressing computationally optimized broadly ...
Food determines ephemerous and non-stable gut microbiome communities in juvenile wild and farmed Mediterranean fish
(Elsevier, 2023-05-16)
Novel insights were provided by contrasting the composition of wild and farmed fish gut microbiomes because the latter had essentially different environmental conditions from those in the wild. This was ...
Vaccination against swine influenza in pigs causes different drift evolutionary patterns upon swine influenza virus experimental infection and reduces the likelihood of genomic reassortments
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03-13)
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) can infect a wide variety of bird and mammal species. Their genome is characterized by 8 RNA single stranded segments. The low proofreading activity of their polymerases and ...
Physiological Benefits of Dietary Lysophospholipid Supplementation in a Marine Fish Model: Deep Analyses of Modes of Action
(MDPI, 2023-04-18)
Given the hydrophilic structure of lysophospholipids (LPLs), their dietary inclusion translates into a better emulsifying capacity of the dietary components. The present study aimed to understand the ...
Local versus National News about COVID-19 in Spain:Coverage and Public Engagement
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-03-16)
In this study, we evaluated the differences between national and local newspapers coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain using a dataset of 421,438 Facebook posts. We assessed the trends in the ...
