Segregation of Regulatory Polymorphisms with Effects on the Gluteus Medius Transcriptome in a Purebred Pig Population
(Public Library of Science, 2012-04-24)
Background: The main goal of the present study was to analyse the genetic architecture of mRNA expression in muscle, a
tissue with an outmost economic importance for pig breeders. Previous studies have ...
Effect of organic fertilisation on soil phosphatase activity, phosphorus availability and forage yield in mountain permanent meadows
(Elsevier, 2024-04-08)
Grassland management aims to ensure sufficient yield, forage quality and biodiversity. Robust knowledge supports sustainable management practices. In South Tyrol (NE Italy), we studied the effect of ...
Immunization with V987H-stabilized Spike glycoprotein protects K18-hACE2 mice and golden Syrian hamsters upon SARS-CoV-2 infection
(Nature Research, 2024-03-21)
Safe and effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV-2) vaccines are crucial to fight against the coronavirus disease 2019
pandemic. Most vaccines are based on a mutated version ...
Field evaluation of an automated mosquito surveillance system which classifies Aedes and Culex mosquitoes by genus and sex
(BMC, 2024-03-01)
Background Mosquito‑borne diseases are a major concern for public and veterinary health authorities, highlighting
the importance of efective vector surveillance and control programs. Traditional ...
Protection of Spanish Ibex (Capra pyrenaica) against Bluetongue Virus Serotypes 1 and 8 in a Subclinical Experimental Infection
(Public Library of Science, 2012-05-30)
Many wild ruminants such as Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) are susceptible to Bluetongue virus (BTV) infection, which
causes disease mainly in domestic sheep and cattle. Outbreaks involving either BTV ...
Study of using marker assisted selection on a beef cattle breeding program by model comparison
(Elsevier, 2012-03-31)
A data set of a commercial Nellore beef cattle selection program was used to compare
breeding models that assumed or not markers effects to estimate the breeding values,
when a reduced number of animals ...
Fast skeletal muscle transcriptome of the Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) determined by next generation sequencing
(BMC, 2012-05-11)
Background: The gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) occurs around the Mediterranean and along Eastern Atlantic
coasts from Great Britain to Senegal. It is tolerant of a wide range of temperatures and ...
Characterization of homologous and heterologous adaptive immune responses in porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
(BMC, 2012-04-19)
The present study characterized the homologous and heterologous immune response in type-I porcine
reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection. Two experiments were conducted: in ...
Genome-wide linkage analysis of QTL for growth and body composition employing the PorcineSNP60 BeadChip
(BMC, 2012-05-20)
Background: The traditional strategy to map QTL is to use linkage analysis employing a limited number of markers.
These analyses report wide QTL confidence intervals, making very difficult to identify ...
Conserved Synthetic Peptides from the Hemagglutinin of Influenza Viruses Induce Broad Humoral and T-Cell Responses in a Pig Model
(Public Library of Science, 2012-07-16)
Outbreaks involving either H5N1 or H1N1 influenza viruses (IV) have recently become an increasing threat to cause potential
pandemics. Pigs have an important role in this aspect. As reflected in the ...
