(EFSA Journal, 2019-11-13)Poultry of different ages may have to be killed on-farm for purposes other than slaughter (in which slaughtering is defined as being for human consumption) either individually or on a large scale ... -
Kinetics of immune responses elicited after three mRNA COVID-19 vaccine doses in predominantly antibody-deficient individuals
(iScience, 2022-10-28)Mass vaccination campaigns reduced COVID-19 incidence and severity. Here, we evaluated the immune responses developed in SARS-CoV-2-uninfected patients with predominantly antibody-deficiencies (PAD) ... -
Kisspeptin influences the reproductive axis and circulating levels of microRNAs in Senegalese sole
(International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020-11-28)Kisspeptin regulates puberty and reproduction onset, acting upstream of the brain–pituitary–gonad (HPG) axis. This study aimed to test a kisspeptin-based hormonal therapy on cultured Senegalese sole ... -
Knock-Out of CmNAC-NOR Affects Melon Climacteric Fruit Ripening
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022-06-10)Fruit ripening is an important process that affects fruit quality. A QTL in melon, ETHQV6.3, involved in climacteric ripening regulation, has been found to be encoded by CmNAC-NOR, a homologue of the ... -
Knowledge and attitudes about rabies in dog-bite victims in Bangladesh
(One Health, 2020-03-09)Rabies is an important zoonotic disease that causes several thousand deaths in Asian countries. Bangladesh launched an elimination programme in 2010 based on the mass vaccination of dogs, management of ... -
Labeling of Monilinia fructicola with GFP and Its Validation for Studies on Host-Pathogen Interactions in Stone and Pome Fruit
(Genes, 2019-12-11)To compare in vivo the infection process of Monilinia fructicola on nectarines and apples using confocal microscopy it is necessary to transform a pathogenic strain with a construct expressing a ... -
Labelling Selective Sweeps Used in Durum Wheat Breeding from a Diverse and Structured Panel of Landraces and Cultivars
(Biology, 2021-03-24)A panel of 387 durum wheat genotypes including Mediterranean landraces and modern cultivars was characterized with 46,161 diversity arrays technology (DArTseq) markers. Analysis of population structure ... -
Laboratory colonization and maintenance of Anopheles atroparvus from the Ebro Delta, Spain
(Parasites and Vectors, 2020-08-03)Background: Historically, Anopheles atroparvus has been considered one of the most important malaria vectors in Europe. Since malaria was eradicated from the European continent, the interest in studying ... -
Laboratory evaluation of the effects of different concentrations of calcined kaolin applied on orange fruits on the behaviour of Ceratitis capitata
(Bulletin of Insectology, 2021-12)The Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera Tephritidae), is one of the most devastating agricultural pests worldwide. The kaolin particle film has been demonstrated to effectively ... -
Lack of detection of Mycobacterium microti infection in wild rodents from a free‑ranging wild boar outbreak area
(European Journal of Wildlife Research, 2023-10-18)Wild small rodents are considered the natural reservoirs of Mycobacterium microti, a member of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) that can cause tuberculosis (TB) in humans and animals, as ... -
