Exposure to a Low Pathogenic A/H7N2 Virus in Chickens Protects against Highly Pathogenic A/H7N1 Virus but Not against Subsequent Infection with A/H5N1
(PLoS ONE, 2013-03-04)Recent evidences have demonstrated that the presence of low pathogenic avian influenza viruses (LPAIV) may play an important role in host ecology and transmission of avian influenza viruses (AIV). While ... -
Exposure to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the endangered Iberian lynx (Lynx pardinus)
(Veterinary Microbiology, 2024-01-17)The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an emerging zoonotic virus of public and animal health concern, of which felids have been suggested as potential reservoirs. Although ... -
Expression analysis of candidate genes for fatty acid composition in adipose tissue and identifcation of regulatory regions
(Scientific Reports, 2018-02-01)The aim of this work was to study the genetic basis of the backfat expression of lipid-related genes associated with meat quality traits in pigs. We performed a genome-wide association study with ... -
Expression analysis of porcine miR-33a/b in liver, adipose tissue and muscle and its potential role in fatty acid metabolism
(PLoS ONE, 2021-01-26)mir-33a and mir-33b are co-transcribed with the SREBF2 and SREBF1 transcription factors, respectively. The main role of SREBF1 is the regulation of genes involved in fatty acid metabolism, while SREBF2 ... -
Expression of genes related to long-chain (C18–22) and very long-chain (>C24) fatty acid biosynthesis in gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) and Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae: investigating early ontogeny and nutritional regulation
(Aquaculture, 2020-01-11)Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA) have been extensively studied in aquaculture due to their importance for survival and development in teleosts. However, very long-chain polyunsaturated ... -
Expression QTL (eQTLs) Analyses Reveal Candidate Genes Associated With Fruit Flesh Softening Rate in Peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch]
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019-12-03)Significant differences in softening rate have been reported between melting flesh in peach and nectarine varieties. This trait seems to be controlled by several genes. We aimed to identify candidate ... -
Expression-based GWAS identifies variants, gene interactions and key regulators affecting intramuscular fatty acid content and composition in porcine meat
(Scientific Reports, 2016-08-18)The aim of this work is to better understand the genetic mechanisms determining two complex traits affecting porcine meat quality: intramuscular fat (IMF) content and its fatty acid (FA) composition. ... -
Extended methane mitigation capacity of a mid-season drainage beyond the rice growing season: a case in Spain
(Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022-08-05)Rice cultivation is a major source of methane (CH4) emissions. Intermittent irrigation systems in rice cultivation, such as the mid-season drainage (MSD), are effective strategies to mitigate CH4 emissions ... -
Extended Viral Shedding of MERS-CoV Clade B Virus in Llamas Compared with African Clade C Strain
(Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2023-02-07)Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) clade B viruses are found in camelids and humans in the Middle East, but clade C viruses are not. We provide experimental evidence for extended ... -
Extended-Spectrum β-Lactam Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli in Wild European Hedgehogs (Erinaceus europeus) Living in Populated Areas
(Animals, 2021-09-28)Wildlife has been suggested to be a good sentinel of environmental health because of its close interaction with human populations, domestic animals, and natural ecosystems. The alarming emergence of ... -
Extensive literature review on vectors and reservoirs of AHL‐listed pathogens of molluscs
(Wiley, 2023-08-01)On request of the EU Commission theEFSA carried out a ExtensiveLiterature Review (ELR)to provide a list of vector species or reservoirs species of pathogens of fish, crustaceans, and ... -
Extensive Mediterranean agroecosystems and their linked traditional breeds: Societal demand for the conservation of the Majorcan black pig
(Land Use Policy, 2021-11-05)Extensive outdoor low-intensity livestock farming systems are the principal form of management of high natural value farmland in Europe. Their marginalisation and poor recognition in policies and markets, ... -
Extreme hydrological events and the influence of reservoirs in a highly regulated river basin of northeastern Spain
(Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies, 2017-04-13)Study region: The Segre basin (northeastern Spain). Study focus: The Segre basin is extensively regulated, through a dense network of dams, during the second half of the 20th century. This study assessed ... -
Extrusion of Different Plants into Fibre for Peat Replacement in Growing Media: Adjustment of Parameters to Achieve Satisfactory Physical Fibre-Properties
(Agronomy, 2021-06-10)Peat is a highly contentious input in agriculture. Replacing or reducing peat by substitution with lignocellulosic biomass processed into fibre by twin-screw-extrusion could contribute to more sustainable ... -
