Foraging in the Anthropocene: Feeding plasticity of an opportunistic predator revealed by long term monitoring
(Elsevier, 2021-07-08)
For centuries, human activities have altered the population dynamics of wildlife. New anthropogenic food sources provide a predictable and abundant food supply that often induces very significant ...
Examining the perspectives of using manure from livestock farms as fertilizer to crop fields based on a realistic simulation
(Elsevier, 2021-10-13)
Intensive livestock production has a negative environmental impact by producing large amounts of animal dejections, which, if not properly managed, can contaminate nearby water bodies with nutrient ...
Bioaccessibility of lipophilic and hydrophilic marine biotoxins in seafood: An in vitro digestion approach
(Elsevier, 2019-04-28)
This study aimed to assess the bioaccessibility of different marine biotoxins in naturally contaminated shellfish and fish gonads using an in vitro digestion methodology. In general, hydrophilic toxins ...
Detection of tetrodotoxins in juvenile pufferfish Lagocephalus sceleratus (Gmelin, 1789) from the North Aegean Sea (Greece) by an electrochemical magnetic bead-based immunosensing tool
(Elsevier, 2019-03-29)
Two small Lagocephalus sceleratus juveniles were captured in picarel targeting catches from North Aegean Sea (Greece) in the autumn of 2017. An electrochemical immunosensing tool using magnetic beads ...
Integrative approach using liver and duodenum RNA-Seq data identifies candidate genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency in pigs
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-11)
This study aims identifying candidate genes and pathways associated with feed efficiency (FE) in pigs. Liver and duodenum transcriptomes of 37 gilts showing high and low residual feed intake (RFI) were ...
A new approach to obtain pure and active proteins from Lactococcus lactis protein aggregates
(Nature Research, 2018-09-17)
The production of pure and soluble proteins is a complex, protein-dependent and time-consuming
process, in particular for those prone-to-aggregate and/or difcult-to-purify. Although Escherichia coli ...
Evolution of Swine Influenza Virus H3N2 in Vaccinated and Nonvaccinated Pigs after Previous Natural H1N1 Infection
(MDPI, 2022-09-10)
Swine influenza viruses (SIV) produce a highly contagious and worldwide distributed
disease that can cause important economic losses to the pig industry. Currently, this virus is endemic
in farms and, ...
Comparison of the pathological outcome and disease progression of two Mycobacterium caprae experimental challenge models in goats: endobronchial inoculation vs. intranasal nebulization
(Frontiers Media, 2023-08-11)
Background: Goats are natural hosts of tuberculosis (TB) and are a valid animal model to test new vaccines and treatments to control this disease. In this study, a new experimental model of TB in goats ...
Unveiling the effect of dietary essential oils supplementation in Sparus aurata gills and its efficiency against the infestation by Sparicotyle chrysophrii
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-20)
A microencapsulated feed additive composed by garlic, carvacrol and thymol essential oils (EOs) was evaluated regarding its protective effect in gills parasitized by Sparicotyle chrysophrii in Sparus ...
Differential viral-host immune interactions associated with oseltamivir-resistant H275Y and wild-type H1N1 A(pdm09) influenza virus pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2020-07-24)
Oseltamivir is a common therapy against influenza A virus (IAV) infections. The acquisition of oseltamivir resistance (OR) mutations, such as H275Y, hampers viral fitness. However, OR H1N1 viruses have ...
