Intensive antibiotic treatment of sows with parenteral crystalline ceftiofur and tulathromycin alters the composition of the nasal microbiota of their ofspring
(BMC, 2023-11-24)
The nasal microbiota plays an important role in animal health and the use of antibiotics is a major factor that infu‑
ences its composition. Here, we studied the consequences of an intensive antibiotic ...
Homothallism, morphology and phylogenetic position of a new species of Sellaphora (Bacillariophyta), S. pausariae
(National Botanic Garden of Belgium and Royal Botanical Society of Belgium, 2019-07-09)
Background and aims – The eutrophic Blackford Pond in Edinburgh has already provided the holotypes of six other Sellaphora species. A further undescribed species is present and requires description and ...
A global analysis of CNVs in swine using whole genome sequence data and association analysis with fatty acid composition and growth traits
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-04)
Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genetic variants complementary to SNPs, and can be considered as biomarkers for some economically important traits in domestic animals. In the present study, ...
Effect of processing smoked salmon on contaminant contents
(Elsevier, 2021-05-17)
The influence of the type of smoking process (natural/liquid; hot/cold) and salt (NaCl or KCl) on the levels of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in ...
Preclinical evaluation of a COVID-19 vaccine candidate based on a recombinant RBD fusion heterodimer of SARS-CoV-2
(Cell Press, 2023-02-02)
Current COVID-19 vaccines have been associated with a decline in infection rates,
prevention of severe disease, and a decrease in mortality rates. However, SARSCoV-2 variants are continuously evolving, ...

(Elsevier, 2018-07-25)
To understand what is driving spatial flux variability within a savanna type ecosystem in central Spain, data of
three co-located eddy covariance (EC) towers in combination with hyperspectral airborne ...
Use of Bayes factors to evaluate the effects of host genetics, litter and cage on the rabbit cecal microbiota
(BMC, 2022-06-27)
Background
The rabbit cecum hosts and interacts with a complex microbial ecosystem that contributes to the variation of traits of economic interest. Although the influence of host genetics on microbial ...

(Elsevier, 2019-10-24)
Intensive aquaculture and poor management practices can cause stress and compromise welfare of farmed fish. This study aimed to assess the potential links between stocking densities and feeding methods ...
Hybrid Antibody–Aptamer Assay for Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish
(American Chemical Society, 2021-10-26)
The marine toxin tetrodotoxin (TTX) poses a great risk to public health safety due to its severe paralytic effects after ingestion. Seafood poisoning caused by the consumption of contaminated marine ...
Price transmission dynamics for quality‐certified food products: A comparison between conventional and organic fluid milk in Italy
(Wiley, 2018-06-25)
Despite the vast number of works investigating price transmission (PT) processes in diverse agrifood markets, very little has been said about quality‐differentiated products. In this paper, we compare ...
