Global-change effects on early-stage decomposition processes in tidal wetlands – implications from a global survey using standardized litter
(Copernicus Publications, 2018-05-30)
Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal wetlands exert influence over the ...
Effect of particle size of a mash concentrate on behavior, digestibility, and macroscopic and microscopic integrity of the digestive tract in Holstein bulls fed intensively
(Oxford University Press, 2018-11-01)
Twenty-four individually housed Holstein bulls (456 ± 6.9 kg of body weight and 292 ± 1.4 d of age) were enrolled in a complete randomized experiment involving four dietary treatments to evaluate the ...
Urban Wild Boars and Risk for Zoonotic Streptococcus suis, Spain
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018-03-05)
Urban wild boars (Sus scrofa) from Barcelona, Spain, harbor great diversity of Streptococcus suis strains, including strains with the cps2 gene and with the same molecular profile as local human cases. ...
Community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates inhabiting a highly stratified Mediterranean estuary
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2011-09-30)
The community composition and spatial distribution of benthic macroinvertebrates were studied along the
Ebro estuary, a highly stratified estuary located in the NE Iberian Peninsula. During the last ...
Characterization of porcine dendritic cell response to Streptococcus suis
(BMC, 2011-06-02)
Streptococcus suis is a major swine pathogen and important zoonotic agent causing mainly septicemia and
meningitis. However, the mechanisms involved in host innate and adaptive immune responses toward ...
Anti-PD-L1 Immunotherapy of Chronic Virus Infection Improves Virus Control without Augmenting Tissue Damage by Fibrosis
(MDPI, 2024-05-17)
Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, albeit commonly used against tumors, is
still at its infancy against chronic virus infections. It relies on the reinvigoration of exhausted T
lymphocytes to ...
Role of wild ruminants in the epidemiology of bluetongue virus serotypes 1, 4 and 8 in Spain
(BMC, 2011-07-23)
Although the importance of wild ruminants as potential reservoirs of bluetongue virus (BTV) has been suggested,
the role played by these species in the epidemiology of BT in Europe is still unclear. ...
Elucidating the Onset of Cross-Protective Immunity after Intranasal Vaccination with the Attenuated African Swine Fever Vaccine Candidate BA71ΔCD2
(MDPI, 2024-05-09)
African swine fever (ASF) is a deadly disease of swine currently causing a worldwide
pandemic, leading to severe economic consequences for the porcine industry. The control of disease
spread is hampered ...
Production of Flathead Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus) and Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) in a Coupled Aquaponic System under Suboptimal Water Temperatures
(MDPI, 2024-05-21)
The combined production of three varieties of lettuce (romaine, iceberg, and red leaf) with flathead grey mullet (Mugil cephalus) was tested in triplicate in three independent coupled aquaponic units ...
Neuropathogenesis of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (H7N1) in experimentally infected chickens
(BMC, 2011-10-07)
In order to understand the mechanism of neuroinvasion of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) into
the central nervous system (CNS) of chickens, specific pathogen free chickens were ...
