Analysis of porcine IGF2 gene expression in adipose tissue and its effect on fatty acid composition
(Public Library of Science, 2019-08-08)
IGF2:g.3072G>A polymorphism has been described as the causal mutation of a maternally imprinted QTL for muscle growth and fat deposition in pigs. The objective of the current work was to study the ...
Evaluation of a Phylogenetic Marker Based on Genomic Segment B of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus: Facilitating a Feasible Incorporation of this Segment to the Molecular Epidemiology Studies for this Viral Agent
(Public Library of Science, 2015-05-06)
Background
Infectious bursal disease (IBD) is a highly contagious and acute viral disease, which has caused high mortality rates in birds and considerable economic losses in different parts of the world ...
Combined effects of spray‐drying conditions and postdrying storage time and temperature on Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium survival when inoculated in liquid porcine plasma
(Wiley, 2018-06-11)
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the spray-drying process on the inactivation of Salmonella choleraesuis and Salmonella typhimurium spiked in liquid porcine plasma and ...
Pig cognitive bias affects the conversion of muscle into meat by antioxidant and autophagy mechanisms
(Elsevier, 2017-04-18)
Slaughter is a crucial step in the meat production chain that could induce psychological stress on each animal, resulting in a physiological response that can differ among individuals. The aim of this ...
Housing and road transport modify the brain neurotransmitter systems of pigs: Do pigs raised in different conditions cope differently with unknown environments?
(Public Library of Science, 2019-01-16)
How housing and transport conditions may affect welfare in porcine production is a leading topic in livestock research. This study investigated whether pigs present a different neurological response to ...
Polymorphisms of the cryptochrome 2 and mitoguardin 2 genes are associated with the variation of lipid-related traits in Duroc pigs
(Nature Research, 2019-06-21)
The genetic factors determining the phenotypic variation of porcine fatness phenotypes are still largely
unknown. We investigated whether the polymorphism of eight genes (MIGA2, CRY2, NPAS2, CIART,
ARNTL2, ...
Conserved HA-peptides expressed along with flagellin in Trichoplusia ni larvae protects chicken against intranasal H7N1 HPAIV challenge
(Elsevier, 2019-11-14)
The immunization of poultry where H5 and H7 influenza viruses (IVs) are endemic is one of the strategies to prevent unexpected zoonoses. Our group has been focused on conserved HA-epitopes as potential ...
Characterization In Vitro and In Vivo of a Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Virus from a Fatal Case
(Public Library of Science, 2013-01-10)
Pandemic 2009 H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza viruses caused mild symptoms in most infected patients. However, a greater rate of severe disease was observed in healthy young adults and children without co-morbid ...
Invasion genetics of the mummichog (Fundulus heteroclitus): recent anthropogenic introduction in Iberia
(PeerJ, 2019-02-08)
Human activities such as trade and transport have increased considerably in the last decades, greatly facilitating the introduction and spread of non-native species at a global level. In the Iberian ...
Modulatory effect of protein and carotene dietary levels on pig gut microbiota
(Nature Research, 2019-10-10)
In this study we investigated the impact of dietary protein and carotene levels on microbial functions and composition during the last month of purebred fattening Duroc pigs. Fecal microbiota was ...
