Diversity and structure of fragmented populations of a threatened endemic cyprinodontid (Aphanius sophiae) inferred from genetics and otolith morphology: Implications for conservation and management
(Wiley, 2019-12-02)
The assessment of population structure and genetic diversity is crucial for the management and conservation of threatened species. Natural and artificial barriers to dispersal (i.e., gene flow) increase ...
Novel strategies to improve chicken performance and welfare by unveiling host-microbiota interactions through hologenomics
(Frontiers Media, 2022-09-06)
Fast optimisation of farming practices is essential to meet environmental sustainability challenges. Hologenomics, the joint study of the genomic features of animals and the microbial communities ...
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, ...
Selection of Internal Control Genes for Real-Time Quantitative PCR in Ovary and Uterus of Sows across Pregnancy
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-13)
Background: Reproductive traits play a key role in pig production in order to reduce costs and increase economic returns. Among others, gene expression analyses represent a useful approach to study ...
Diagnosis by ruling out other diseases or conditions
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018-07-19)
Pig production is nowadays highly specialised, and is dominated by large, intensive, indoor-rearing production systems around the world. As farming systems have evolved, so also has our understanding ...
Ripe for reassessment: a synthesis of available molecular data for the speciose diatom family Bacillariaceae
(Elsevier, 2020-10-13)
The Bacillariaceae is a very species-rich family of raphid diatoms and includes the large and taxonomically difficult genus Nitzschia, whose species are often small-celled and finely structured and have ...
Nanoparticle-Based Secretory Granules Induce a Specific and Long-Lasting Immune Response through Prolonged Antigen Release
(MDPI, 2024-02-27)
Developing prolonged antigen delivery systems that mimic long-term exposure to pathogens
appears as a promising but still poorly explored approach to reach durable immunities. In this study,
we have ...
A Protein Misfolding Shaking Amplificationbased method for the spontaneous generation of hundreds of bona fide prions
(Nature Research, 2024-03-08)
Prion diseases are a group of rapidly progressing neurodegenerative disorders
caused by the misfolding of the endogenous prion protein (PrPC) into a
pathogenic form (PrPSc). This process, despite being ...
Modelling environmental drivers of Tuber melanosporum extraradical mycelium in productive holm oak plantations and forests
(Elsevier, 2024-05-24)
The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a highly appreciated edible ectomycorrhizal fungus. It grows belowground and the mycelium and sporocarp production greatly depends on the abiotic ...
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 ...
