Monitoring of bluetongue virus in zoo animals in Spain, 2007–2019
(Wiley, 2021-05-08)
Bluetongue (BT) is an emerging and re-emerging communicable vector-borne disease of animal health concern. A serosurvey was performed to assess exposure to BT virus (BTV) in zoo animals in Spain and to ...
Microanalytical flow system for the simultaneous determination of acetic acid and free sulfur dioxide in wines
(Elsevier, 2020-12-24)
Free sulfur dioxide and volatile acidity are parameters related to the quality of wines. Traditional methods for their determination are tedious, time consuming and require analysis in decentralized ...
Integrated pest management of Tuta absoluta: practical implementations across different world regions
(Springer, 2021-10-31)
The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), has invaded most Afro-Eurasian countries, and is threatening worldwide tomato production. Various strategies have ...
Genome‐wide detection of copy number variants in European autochthonous and commercial pig breeds by whole‐genome sequencing of DNA pools identified breed‐characterising copy number states
(Wiley, 2020-06-08)
In this study, we identified copy number variants (CNVs) in 19 European autochthonous pig breeds and in two commercial breeds (Italian Large White and Italian Duroc) that represent important genetic ...
Animal models for COVID-19
(Nature Research, 2020-09-23)
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the aetiological
agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an emerging respiratory infection
caused by the introduction of a novel ...
Effects of a high-fat-diet supplemented with probiotics and ω3-fatty acids on appetite regulatory neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in a pig model
(Wageningen Academic Publishers, 2020-07-28)
The pig is a valuable animal model to study obesity in humans due to the physiological similarity between humans and pigs in terms of digestive and associated metabolic processes. The dietary use of ...
Stable neutralizing antibody levels 6 months after mild and severe COVID-19 episodes
(Elsevier, 2021-01-31)
Background. Understanding mid-term kinetics of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 is the cornerstone for public health control of the pandemic and vaccine development. However, current evidence is rather based on ...
Light signals generated by vegetation shade facilitate acclimation to low light in shade-avoider plants
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2021-05-07)
When growing in search for light, plants can experience continuous or occasional shading by other plants. Plant proximity causes a decrease in the ratio of R to far-red light (low R:FR) due to the ...

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) is the cause of a severe respiratory disease with a high case fatality rate in humans. Since its emergence in mid-2012, 2578 laboratory-confirmed ...
An anti-SARS-CoV-2 metabolite is reduced in diabetes
(Nature Research, 2022-05-09)
A glucose-like metabolite, which is reduced in the serum of diabetic patients, inhibits the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into key cellular targets. The work led by Cheng and colleagues provides a molecular ...
