A systems biology framework integrating GWAS and RNA-seq to shed light on the molecular basis of sperm quality in swine
(BMC, 2020-12-08)
Background
Genetic pressure in animal breeding is sparking the interest of breeders for selecting elite boars with higher sperm quality to optimize ejaculate doses and fertility rates. However, the ...
A Polyuridine Insertion in the 3′ Untranslated Region of Classical Swine Fever Virus Activates Immunity and Reduces Viral Virulence in Piglets
(American Society for Microbiology, 2020-01-06)
Low-virulence classical swine fever virus (CSFV) strains make CSF eradication particularly difficult. Few data are available on the molecular determinants of CSFV virulence. The aim of the present study ...
Aquaporin splice variation differentially modulates channel function during marine teleost egg hydration
(Public Library of Science, 2023-11-27)
Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is a developmentally regulated adaptive mechanism that co-occurs with meiosis resumption in marine teleosts. It provides the early embryos with vital water until ...
Spatial and temporal dynamics of suspended load at-a-cross-section: The lowermost Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2012-07)
Suspended load dynamics were analyzed for the period 2007e2009 in a semi-meandering
cross-section under different hydrological conditions. Samples were collected at four
different points of the ...
Descriptive epidemiology of classical swine fever outbreaks in the period 2013-2018 in Colombia
(Public Library of Science, 2020-06-17)
Classical swine fever (CSF) is an infectious viral disease caused by an RNA virus belonging to the Pestivirus genus. A total of 134 outbreaks of CSF have occurred in the last seven years in the North ...
The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards
(Asociación Ibérica de Limnología, 2022)
The presence of Dolomedes plantarius (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Pisauridae) in the Ebro Delta extends its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula southwards.
The rare Dolomedes plantarius has been observed ...
Blubber and serum cortisol concentrations as indicators of the stress response and overall health status in striped dolphins
(Elsevier, 2022-07-08)
The impacts of environmental changes and anthropogenic threats in marine mammals are a growing concern for their conservation. In recent years, efforts have been directed to understand how marine mammals ...
Evaluation of Tail Lesions of Finishing Pigs at the Slaughterhouse: Associations With Herd-Level Observations
(Frontiers Media, 2021-07-15)
The prevalence of tail lesions evaluated at the slaughterhouse varies considerably between herds. These lesions result mainly from tail biting, a harmful behavior with multifactorial origin. This study ...
Development of a new largely scalable in vitro prion propagation method for the production of infectious recombinant prions for high resolution structural studies
(Public Library of Science, 2019-10-23)
The resolution of the three-dimensional structure of infectious prions at the atomic level is pivotal to understand the pathobiology of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), but has been long ...
Functional Evolution of Clustered Aquaporin Genes Reveals Insights into the Oceanic Success of Teleost Eggs
(Oxford University Press, 2023-03-22)
Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is considered important for the evolution of pelagic eggs and the radiative success of marine teleosts. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms controlling this ...
