Genomic insights of Salmonella isolated from dry fermented sausage production chains in Spain and France
(Scientific Reports, 2024-05-22)The presence of Salmonella in dry fermented sausages is source of recalls and outbreaks. The genomic diversity of 173 Salmonella isolates from the dry fermented sausage production chains (pig carcasses, ... -
Perceived quality in fresh peaches: an approach through structural equation modeling
(Ciencia e investigacíón agraria, 2011-02-28)The quality requirements that consumers consider in their decision to purchase fresh fruit have garnered a great deal of attention from the actors in the fresh fruit productivity chain. This study ... -
Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy of Chronic Virus Infection Improves Virus Control without Augmenting Tissue Damage by Fibrosis
(Viruses, 2024-05-17)Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, albeit commonly used against tumors, is still at its infancy against chronic virus infections. It relies on the reinvigoration of exhausted T lymphocytes to ... -
Mass Spectrometric Detection of Cholesterol Oxidation in Bovine Sperm
(Biology of Reproduction, 2011-07-01)We report on the presence and formation of cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols) in bovine sperm. Although cholesterol is the most abundant molecule in the membrane of mammalian cells and is ... -
Inter-laboratory comparison of methods to measure androstenone in pork fat
(Animal, 2011-04-26)Today, different analytical methods are used by different laboratories to quantify androstenone in fat tissue. This study shows the comparison of methods used routinely in different laboratories for ... -
Gut‑associated microbes are present and active in the pig nasal cavity
(Scientific Reports, 2024-04-11)The nasal microbiota is a key contributor to animal health, and characterizing the nasal microbiota composition is an important step towards elucidating the role of its diferent members. Eforts ... -
Differentiation between fresh and frozen-thawed mackerel fish using low-cost portable near infrared spectrometry devices
(Journal of Food Engineering, 2024-05-11)Mislabelling frozen-thawed fish fillets as fresh is one of the most important fraudulent practices during commercialisation. This study aimed to determine the ability of two portable miniaturised low-cost ... -
Effect of pH and temperature on tropane alkaloids within a processing strategy to provide safe infant cereal-based food
(Food Research International, 2024-05-06)Tropane alkaloids (TAs) are secondary metabolites from weeds that can contaminate cereals and vegetables during harvest. Due to their toxicity, the Regulation (EC) 2023/915 sets maximum levels for ... -
Modelling of salt uptake for salt content standardization in dry-cured ham
(Meat Science, 2024-04-26)Salt content standardization in dry-cured ham production is complex as there are many factors that influence salt uptake. The aim of this work was to study and model salt uptake as a function of salting ... -
Pathogenesis and transmissibility of highly (H7N1) and low (H7N9) pathogenic avian influenza virus infection in red-legged partridge (Alectoris rufa)
(Veterinary Research, 2011-02-07)An experimental infection with highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) and low pathogenic avian influenza virus (LPAIV) was carried out in red-legged partridges (Alectoris rufa) in order to ... -
Comparative analysis of rosaceous genomes and the reconstruction of a putative ancestral genome for the family
(BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2011-01-12)Background: Comparative genome mapping studies in Rosaceae have been conducted until now by aligning genetic maps within the same genus, or closely related genera and using a limited number of common ... -
Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs
(Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2011-03-04)Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic ... -
Gut microbiome and resistome characterization of pigs treated with commonly used post-weaning diarrhea treatments
(Animal Microbiome, 2024-05-03)Background The global burden of antimicrobial resistance demands additional measures to ensure the sustainable and conscious use of antimicrobials. For the swine industry, the post-weaning period is ... -
