(International Journal of Sytematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2023-05-11)A novel Vibrio strain (CAIM 722T=SW9T=DSM 24596T) was isolated in 2003 from water of a shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) culture pond located in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, and taxonomically characterized using ... -
Leishmania Infection in Wild Lagomorphs and Domestic Dogs in North-East Spain
(Animals, 2024-04-02)Leishmania infantum is a zoonotic protozoan parasite distributed worldwide that is transmitted by phlebotomine sandflies. Dogs are the main reservoir for human infections. However, in recent years, the ... -
Automated Patch Clamp for the Detection of Tetrodotoxin in Pufferfish Samples
(Marine Drugs, 2024-04-15)Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a marine toxin responsible for many intoxications around the world. Its presence in some pufferfish species and, as recently reported, in shellfish, poses a serious health concern. ... -
β-cyclodextrin polymer as tetrodotoxins scavenger in oyster extracts
(Microchemical Journal, 2024-04-16)Tetrodotoxins (TTXs) are potent marine neurotoxins involved in poisoning cases in humans after consumption of some marine organisms. A cell-based assay (CBA) providing toxicological information is a ... -
A parasitoid wasp allied with an entomopathogenic virus to control Tuta absoluta
(Crop Protection, 2024-02-09)Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a major threat to worldwide tomato production, and sustainable management methods are needed. Betabaculovirus phoperculellae (PhopGV) and the ... -
Liver transcriptome profile in pigs with extreme phenotypes of intramuscular fatty acid composition
(BMC Genomics, 2012-10-11)Background: New advances in high-throughput technologies have allowed for the massive analysis of genomic data, providing new opportunities for the characterization of the transcriptome architectures. ... -
SNP variation in the promoter of the PRKAG3 gene and association with meat quality traits in pig
(BMC Genetics, 2012-07-25)Background: The PRKAG3 gene encodes the γ3 subunit of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), a protein that plays a key role in energy metabolism in skeletal muscle. Non-synonymous ... -
Development Temperature Has Persistent Effects on Muscle Growth Responses in Gilthead Sea Bream
(PLoS ONE, 2012-12-17)Initially we characterised growth responses to altered nutritional input at the transcriptional and tissue levels in the fast skeletal muscle of juvenile gilthead sea bream. Fish reared at 21–22uC ... -
GWA Analysis for Milk Production Traits in Dairy Sheep and Genetic Support for a QTN Influencing Milk Protein Percentage in the LALBA Gene
(PLoS ONE, 2012-10-18)In this study, we used the Illumina OvineSNP50 BeadChip to conduct a genome-wide association (GWA) analysis for milk production traits in dairy sheep by analyzing a commercial population of Spanish ... -
Fine-root turnover rates of European forests revisited: an analysis of data from sequential coring and ingrowth cores
(Plant and Soil, 2012-07-08)Background and Aims Forest trees directly contribute to carbon cycling in forest soils through the turnover of their fine roots. In this study we aimed to calculate root turnover rates of common ... -
Ecological Factors Driving Avian Influenza Virus Dynamics in Spanish Wetland Ecosystems
(PLoS ONE, 2012-11-12)Studies exploring the ecological interactions between avian influenza viruses (AIV), natural hosts and the environment are scarce. Most work has focused on viral survival and transmission under laboratory ... -
A first insight into peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] SNP variability
(Tree Genetics and Genomes, 2012-06-10)Three factors may have reduced the diversity at both individual gene and whole genome levels in cultivated peach: its self-compatible mating system, the narrow genetic basis of most commercial ... -
Retos y oportunidades para la evaluación del estado ecológico en ríos temporales
(Ecosistemas, 2024-03-06)Los ríos temporales (RTs) son ecosistemas fluviales en los que los efectos de las perturbaciones antrópicas se mezclan con los de la propia perturbación natural que impone la temporalidad del flujo. A ... -
Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers
(Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2024-03-25)1. Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken ... -
Diatoms as dandelions: convergent evolution in the reproductive biology of small Nitzschia species (Bacillariophyta) and its possible taxonomic consequences
(Phycologia, 2024-03-01)Nitzschia soratensis and N. inconspicua are two small diatoms that are extremely similar in the light microscope though separable in subtle aspects of valve and girdle ultrastructure. They are not closely ... -
Comparative study of the gut microbial communities collected by scraping and swabbing in a fish model: a comprehensive guide to promote non-lethal procedures for gut microbial studies
