(Animals, 2019-10-10)In this retrospective study, we describe the relative occurrence of clinical myxomatosis, and rabbit haemorrhagic disease (RHD), on 1714 commercial farms visited in Spain, between 1988 and 2018. We ... -
Nanoparticle-Based Secretory Granules Induce a Specific and Long-Lasting Immune Response through Prolonged Antigen Release
(Nanomaterials, 2024-02-27)Developing prolonged antigen delivery systems that mimic long-term exposure to pathogens appears as a promising but still poorly explored approach to reach durable immunities. In this study, we have ... -
Nanotechnology as a Processing and Packaging Tool to Improve Meat Quality and Safety
(Foods, 2021-10-29)Nanoparticles are gaining momentum as a smart tool towards a safer, more cost-effective and sustainable food chain. This study aimed to provide an overview of the potential uses, preparation, properties, ... -
Narrow versus broad: sexual dimorphism in the wing form of western European species of the subgenus Avaritia (Culicoides, Ceratopogonidae)
(Integrative Zoology, 2021-01-12)While wing form is known to differ between males and females of the genus Culicoides, detailed studies of sexual dimorphism are lacking. In this study, we analyze sex-specific differences in the wing ... -
Native and invasive bird interactions increase the spread of Newcastle disease in urban environments
(Biological Invasions, 2023-12-11)Due to their large population sizes, synanthropic birds, including native and invasive species, can transmit pathogens to other vertebrates, and even humans. In particular, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ... -
Native versus Modern Almond Cultivars of Mallorca Island: From Biodiversity to Industrial Aptitude and Fruit Quality
(Agronomy, 2022-08-17)Almond, one of the most characteristic crops in the agricultural landscape of Mallorca Island, cultivated mainly under rainfed conditions and from native cultivars, represents an important source of ... -
Natural enemies associated with Tuta absoluta and functional biodiversity in vegetable crops
(BioControl, 2021-06-18)Tuta absoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is considered one of the main pests threatening tomato production worldwide. In the Mediterranean, the use of predatory mirids is widespread, and although ... -
Natural fruitlet abscission as related to apple tree carbon balance estimated with the MaluSim model
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2018-12-26)Apple trees produce many more flower clusters than needed for a full crop, but natural early season flower and fruitlet abscission drastically reduce the final fruit number. Natural fruit abscission ... -
Natural plant extracts as inhibitors of potato polyphenol oxidase: The green tea case study
(LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2021-09-18)Natural plant extracts have emerged as a potential alternative to sulphites in minimally processed potatoes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory capacity of various plant extracts on ... -
