Analysing the Expression of Eight Clock Genes in Five Tissues From Fasting and Fed Sows
(Frontiers Media, 2018-10-18)
In a previous study, we observed that circadian clock genes are differentially expressed
in the skeletal muscle of fasting and fed sows. The goal of the current work was
to investigate if these genes ...
Temporal dynamics of Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus in the Arabian Peninsula, 2012-2017
(Cambridge University Press, 2018-10-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) remains a notable disease and poses a significant threat to global public health. The Arabian Peninsula is considered a major global epicentre for ...
Sexually dimorphic tibia shape is linked to natural osteoarthritis in STR/Ort mice
(Elsevier, 2018-03-19)
Objectives:Human osteoarthritis (OA) is detected only at late stages. Male STR/Ort mice develop knee OAspontaneously with known longitudinal trajectory, offering scope to identify OA predisposing factors. ...
A new approach to obtain pure and active proteins from Lactococcus lactis protein aggregates
(Nature Research, 2018-09-17)
The production of pure and soluble proteins is a complex, protein-dependent and time-consuming
process, in particular for those prone-to-aggregate and/or difcult-to-purify. Although Escherichia coli ...
Characterization of bacterial microbiota compositions along the intestinal tract in pigs and their interactions and functions
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-28)
In addition to its value in meat production, the pig is an interesting animal model for human digestive tract studies due to its physiological similarities. The aim of this study was to describe the ...
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) genotype update and proposal of a new genotyping methodology
(Public Library of Science, 2018-12-06)
Porcine circovirus 2 (PCV-2) is one of the most widespread viral infections of swine, causing a remarkable economic impact because of direct losses and indirect costs for its control. As other ssDNA ...
Combined effects of spray‐drying conditions and postdrying storage time and temperature on Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium survival when inoculated in liquid porcine plasma
(Wiley, 2018-06-11)
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the spray-drying process on the inactivation of Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium spiked in liquid porcine plasma and ...
A Rift Valley fever virus Gn ectodomain-based DNA vaccine induces a partial protection not improved by APC targeting
(Nature Research, 2018-04-20)
Rift Valley fever virus, a phlebovirus endemic in Africa, causes serious diseases in ruminants and humans. Due to the high probability of new outbreaks and spread to other continents where competent ...
Using genome wide association studies to identify common QTL regions in three different genetic backgrounds based on Iberian pig breed
(PLoS ONE, 2018-03-09)
One of the major limitation for the application of QTL results in pig breeding and QTN identification has been the limited number of QTL effects validated in different animal material. The aim
of the ...
Dietary soybean lecithin affects growth performance, fillet biochemical composition and digestive enzyme activity in Sparidentex hasta juvenile
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-12-18)
An eight-week study was conducted on silvery-black porgy (Sparidentex hasta) juveniles to evaluate four isoproteic, isolipidic and isoenergetic different diets (50% crude protein, 20% crude lipids, ...
