Vaccination against swine influenza in pigs causes different drift evolutionary patterns upon swine influenza virus experimental infection and reduces the likelihood of genomic reassortments
(Frontiers Media, 2023-03-13)
Influenza A viruses (IAVs) can infect a wide variety of bird and mammal species. Their genome is characterized by 8 RNA single stranded segments. The low proofreading activity of their polymerases and ...
Selection of reference samples for updating multivariate calibration models used in the analysis of pig faeces
(Elsevier, 2022-12-30)
Monitoring and updating calibration models are common tasks when analytical methods are based on nearinfrared spectroscopy. This work describes a situation in which a PLS calibration model that is used ...
Physiological Benefits of Dietary Lysophospholipid Supplementation in a Marine Fish Model: Deep Analyses of Modes of Action
(MDPI, 2023-04-18)
Given the hydrophilic structure of lysophospholipids (LPLs), their dietary inclusion translates into a better emulsifying capacity of the dietary components. The present study aimed to understand the ...
Alternatives to Carbon Dioxide in Two Phases for the Improvement of Broiler Chickens’ Welfare during Stunning
(MDPI, 2024-02-01)
Stunning during the slaughter process consists of inducing unconsciousness in animals in order to prevent them from feeling any avoidable pain, distress, or suffering during bleeding and related operations. ...
Ammonium and Phosphate Recovery in a Three Chambered Microbial Electrolysis Cell: Towards Obtaining Struvite from Livestock Manure
(MDPI, 2021-10-27)
Ammonia and phosphate, which are present in large quantities in waste streams such as livestock manure, are key compounds in fertilization activities. Their recovery will help close natural cycles and ...
Local versus National News about COVID-19 in Spain:Coverage and Public Engagement
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-03-16)
In this study, we evaluated the differences between national and local newspapers coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain using a dataset of 421,438 Facebook posts. We assessed the trends in the ...
Pre-calving intravaginal administration of lactic acid bacteria reduces metritis prevalence and regulates blood neutrophil gene expression after calving in dairy cattle
(Frontiers Media, 2018-06-21)
Metritis affects up to 40% of dairy cows and it is usually treated with antibiotics. In
spite of their advantages, there is an increased concern about antibiotic resistance
leading to the research of ...
Evidence of Prolonged Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever Virus Endemicity by Retrospective Serosurvey, Eastern Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022-04-07)
We conducted a retrospective serosurvey for antibodies against Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in wild ungulates along the eastern Mediterranean Coast of Spain. The virus has been endemic in this ...
The emergence and diversification of a zoonotic pathogen from within the microbiota of intensively farmed pigs
(National Academy of Sciences, 2023-11-14)
The expansion and intensification of livestock production is predicted to promote the
emergence of pathogens. As pathogens sometimes jump between species, this can affect
the health of humans as well ...
Evaluation of Toxicity Equivalency Factors of Tetrodotoxin Analogues with a Neuro-2a Cell-Based Assay and Application to Puffer Fish from Greece
(MDPI, 2023-07-29)
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is a potent marine neurotoxin involved in poisoning cases, especially through the consumption of puffer fish. Knowledge of the toxicity equivalency factors (TEFs) of TTX analogues is ...
