The emergence and diversification of a zoonotic pathogen from within the microbiota of intensively farmed pigs
(National Academy of Sciences, 2023-11-14)
The expansion and intensification of livestock production is predicted to promote the
emergence of pathogens. As pathogens sometimes jump between species, this can affect
the health of humans as well ...
Evaluation of Toxicity Equivalency Factors of Tetrodotoxin Analogues with a Neuro-2a Cell-Based Assay and Application to Puffer Fish from Greece
(MDPI, 2023-07-29)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin involved in poisoning cases, especially through the consumption of puffer fish. Knowledge of the toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs) of TTX analogues is ...
Honeydew Is a Food Source and a Contact Kairomone for Aphelinus mali
(MDPI, 2023-04-29)
Many parasitoids need to feed on sugar sources at the adult stage. Although nectar has
been proven to be a source of higher nutritional quality compared to honeydew excreted by phloem
feeders, the ...
Detection and genetic characterization of enteric viruses in diarrhoea outbreaks from swine farms in Spain
(BioMed Central, 2023-06-22)
Background The aim of this work was to study the prevalence and distribution of Porcine astrovirus (PAstV), Porcine
kobuvirus (PKoV), Porcine torovirus (PToV), Mammalian orthoreovirus (MRV) and Porcine ...
Schlafen 12 restricts HIV-1 latency reversal by a codon-usage dependent post-transcriptional block in CD4+ T cells
(Nature Research, 2023-05-10)
Latency is a major barrier towards virus elimination in HIV-1-infected individuals. Yet, the mechanisms that contribute to the maintenance of HIV-1 latency are incompletely understood. Here we describe ...
Dynamics of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in two wild ungulate hosts during a disease-induced population collapse
(Elsevier, 2023-08-23)
Identifying the role that host species play in pathogen transmission and maintenance is crucial for disease
control, but it is a difficult task, in particular for vector-borne and multi-host pathogens, ...
Modelling the effect of prebiotics, probiotics and other functional additives on the growth, feed intake and feed conversion of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) juveniles
(Elsevier, 2023-09-14)
Dietary supplementation of aquafeeds with functional additives is a commonly employed strategy in order to
reduce the potential negative effects associated to fishmeal (FM) and fish oil (FO) replacement ...
Male germ cell proliferation and apoptosis in sexually immature meagre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) treated with recombinant follicle stimulating hormone
(Springer Nature, 2023-04-28)
The meagre Argyrosomus regius (Asso, 1801) is a marine fish species that has an increasing aquaculture production in Europe. Lowering the age at maturity of hatchery-produced juveniles would support ...
Recent Advances in Bioelectrochemical Systems for Nitrogen and Phosphorus Recovery Using Membranes
(MDPI, 2023-02-02)
Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) have emerged as a technology that is able to recover resources from different kinds of substrates, especially wastewater. Nutrient recovery, mostly based on membrane ...
Antibiofilm surfaces based on the immobilization of a novel recombinant antimicrobial multidomain protein using self-assembled monolayers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-04-13)
The constant increase of microorganisms resistant to antibiotics has been classified as a global health emergency, which is especially challenging when biofilms are formed. Herein, novel biofunctionalized ...
