Development of a Fully Protective Pandemic Avian Influenza Subunit Vaccine in Insect Pupae
(MDPI, 2024-05-23)
In this study, we pioneered an alternative technology for manufacturing subunit influenza
hemagglutinin (HA)-based vaccines. This innovative method involves harnessing the pupae of the
Lepidoptera ...
Disentangling omnivory of heteropteran and coccinellid predators present in peach and alfalfa crops by metabarcoding analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)
Ecosystems management is essential for the biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture. For this, it is necessary to know which arthropod and plant resources are the most used by the generalist ...
Stoichiometry of growth under variable scenarios of nutrient limitation: Differential homeostasis of body composition among growth phenotypes of the Manila clam
(Elsevier, 2024-02-07)
Fast- and slow-growing phenotypes from two separate breeding families of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) were alternatively fed two monoalgal diets with high and low N content (C:N ratios of ...
Cambios en la presencia de especies de oribátidos (Acarina, Oribatida) asociados a la fertilización con purín porcino en clima Mediterráneo seco
(AIDA, 2024-03-01)
En sistemas agrícolas de secano, la sostenibilidad de las prácticas de fertilización con productos de origen orgánico requiere de indicadores que avalen su idoneidad. Los ácaros oribátidos, por su ciclo ...
Frequency of PCV-2 viremia in nursery piglets from a Spanish swine integration system in 2020 and 2022 considering PRRSV infection status
(BMC, 2024-01-16)
Background Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV‑2) poses a signifcant economic threat for the swine industry, causing a range
of diseases collectively referred to as porcine circovirus diseases (PCVDs). Despite ...
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
(Frontiers, 2024-03-22)
In the present study, we propose the use of swabs in non-lethal sampling procedures to collect the mucosa-adhered gut microbiota from the posterior intestine of fish, and therefore, we compare the ...
Gut‑associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
(Nature Research, 2024-04-11)
The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota
composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its diferent members. Eforts ...
Ppe.RPT/SSC‑1: from QTL mapping to a predictive KASP test for ripening time and soluble solids concentration in peach
(Nature Research, 2024-01-17)
Genomic regions associated with ripening time (RPT) and soluble solids concentration (SSC) were
mapped using a pedigreed population including multiple F1 and F2 families from the Clemson
University ...
Production of Flathead Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) and Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in a Coupled Aquaponic System under Suboptimal Water Temperatures
(MDPI, 2024-05-21)
The combined production of three varieties of lettuce (romaine, iceberg, and red leaf) with flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) was tested in triplicate in three independent coupled aquaponic units ...
Exploring the Antiviral Potential of Natural Compounds against Influenza: A Combined Computational and Experimental Approach
(MDPI, 2024-04-30)
The influenza A virus nonstructural protein 1 (NS1), which is crucial for viral replication
and immune evasion, has been identified as a significant drug target with substantial potential to
contribute ...
