How do species, population and active ingredient influence insecticide susceptibility in Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) of veterinary importance?
(BMC, 2015-08-28)
Background: Culicoides biting midges are biological vectors of internationally important arboviruses of livestock and equines. Insecticides are often employed against Culicoides as a part of vector ...

(Wiley, 2023-02-21)
This Scientific Opinion considers the welfare of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) related to the production of meat (broilers) and includes the keeping of day-old chicks, broiler breeders, and broiler ...
Survival, spread and establishment of the small hive beetle (Aethina tumida)
(Wiley, 2015-12-15)
The small hive beetle (SHB) is still present in Calabria one year after its first detection in September
2014. Detailed epidemiological studies would improve our knowledge of the survival, spread ...
Differences in Muscle Transcriptome among Pigs Phenotypically Extreme for Fatty Acid Composition
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-13)
Background: Besides having an impact on human health, the porcine muscle fatty acid profile determines meat quality and taste. The RNA-Seq technologies allowed us to explore the pig muscle transcriptome ...
Genetic analysis of slaughter and carcass quality traits in crossbred rabbits coming from a diallel cross of four maternal lines
(Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, 2015-12-23)
An experiment was carried out to estimate the genetic group effects and the crossbreeding genetic
parameters of slaughter and carcass traits using data on the rabbits that were progeny of does coming

Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) Mediterranean landraces as sources of variability for allelic combinations at Glu-1/Glu-3 loci affecting gluten strength and pasta cooking quality
(Springer, 2014-03-22)
With the aim of identifying durum wheat landraces (LR) with a potential use in breeding programs for gluten strength enhancement, the allelic combinations present at five glutenin loci were determined ...
Breeding progress in the pasta-making quality of durum wheat cultivars released in Italy and Spain during the 20th Century
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014-01-02)
Genetic improvement of quality traits of durum wheat achieved in Italy and Spain during the 20th Century was investigated using an historical series of 12 cultivars from each country. The European Union ...

(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2014-11-03)
We investigated the habitat use and size structure of the fan mussel, Pinna nobilis L. in the Alfacs Bay (Ebro Delta, Spain, NW Mediterranean). Shore-parallel transects were conducted to assess the ...
Pigs naturally exposed to porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) generate antibody responses capable to neutralise PCV2 isolates of different genotypes and geographic origins
(BMC, 2014-03-06)
Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the essential infectious agent for PCV2-systemic disease (PCV2-SD, formerly known as postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome) and other pathological conditions. ...
