Influenza NG-34 T cell conserved epitope adjuvanted with CAF01 as a possible influenza vaccine candidate
(Veterinary Research, 2020-04-20)Conserved epitopes are targets commonly researched to be part of universal vaccine candidates against influenza viruses (IV). These conserved epitopes need to be cross-protecting against distinct IV ... -
Ammonia volatilisation from pig slurry and ANS with DMPP applied to Westerwold ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam., cv. Trinova) under Mediterranean conditions
(Science of The Total Environment, 2020-03-19)Ammonia volatilisation from agriculture represents an important nitrogen (N) loss which has both environmental and economic impacts. In regions where large amounts of manures are available, there is a ... -
Genotyping Porcine Circovirus 3 (PCV-3) Nowadays: Does It Make Sense?
(Viruses, 2020-02-28)The discovery of a globally distributed porcine circovirus (Porcine circovirus 3; PCV-3) has led to intense research activity and the production of a large amount of molecular data. Different research ... -
Enhancing the monitoring of fallen stock at different hierarchical administrative levels: an illustration on dairy cattle from regions with distinct husbandry, demographical and climate traits
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2020-04-14)Background: The automated collection of non-specific data from livestock, combined with techniques for data mining and time series analyses, facilitates the development of animal health syndromic ... -
Peste des petits ruminants at the wildlife-livestock interface in the Northern Albertine Rift and Nile Basin, East Africa
(Viruses, 2020-03-07)In the recent past, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) emerged in East Africa causing outbreaks in small livestock across different countries, with evidences of spillover to wildlife. In order to understand ... -
Chemical markers to distinguish the homoand heterozygous bitter genotype in sweet almond kernels
(Foods, 2020-06-05)Bitterness in almonds is controlled by a single gene (Sk dominant for sweet kernel, sk recessive for bitter kernel) and the proportions of the offspring genotypes (SkSk, Sksk, sksk) depend on the ... -
Effects of exogenous glucoamylase enzymes alone or in combination with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility and feces D-Lactate in crossbred angus bulls fed a ration rich in rolled corn
(Animals, 2020-06-23)The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two glucoamylases (GA) and the combination of one GA with a neutral protease on apparent total tract digestibility in beef bulls fed a total mixed ... -
Effect of root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on growth, Productivity and blast resistance in rice
(Rice, 2020-06-22)Background Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi form symbiotic associations with roots in most land plants. AM symbiosis provides benefits to host plants by improving nutrition and fitness. AM symbiosis ... -
Multi-environment QTL analysis using an updated genetic map of a widely distributed Seri × Babax spring wheat population
(Molecular Breeding, 2019-08-30)Seri/Babax spring wheat RIL population was developed to minimize the confounding effect of phenology in the genetic dissection of abiotic stress traits. An existing linkage map (< 500 markers) was updated ... -
Optimizing precision irrigation of a vineyard to improve water use efficiency and profitability by using a decision-oriented vine water consumption model
(Precision Agriculture, 2020-04-29)While the agronomic and economic benefits of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies have long been established in red wine grape varieties, spatial variability in water requirements across a ... -
Differential irrigation scheduling by an automated algorithm of water balance tuned by capacitance-type soil moisture sensors
(Agricultural Water Management, 2019-11-07)Automated software tools are required to undertake the routine tasks and decision-making involved in scheduling irrigation. A key issue in this topic is how to integrate sensors in the scheduling approach. ... -
Preserving habitat quality at local and landscape scales increases wild bee diversity in intensive farming systems
(Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, 2019-02-13)Biological diversity is influenced by many environmental factors, which can act either at a local scale (e.g. quality and quantity of feeding and nesting resources, habitat type) or at a landscape scale ... -
