Heterogeneity of Moraxella isolates found in the nasal cavities of piglets
(BMC, 2020-01-30)
Background
Previous studies have shown that the genus Moraxella is commonly present in the nasal microbiota of swine.
Results
In this study, 51 isolates of Moraxella were obtained from nasal swabs ...
Selection for feed efficiency using the social effects animal model in growing Duroc pigs: evaluation by simulation
(BMC, 2020-09-29)
Background
Traits recorded on animals that are raised in groups can be analysed with the social effects animal model (SAM). For multiple traits, this model specifies the genetic correlation structure ...
Role of mycorrhizas and root exudates in plant uptake of soil nutrients (calcium, iron, magnesium, and potassium): has the puzzle been completely solved?
(Wiley, 2023-03-14)
Anthropogenic global change is driving an increase in the frequency and intensity of drought and flood events, along with associated imbalances and limitation of several soil nutrients. In the context ...
The origin of human pathogenicity and biological interactions in Chaetothyriales
(Springer, 2023-03-01)
Fungi in the order Chaetothyriales are renowned for their ability to cause human infections. Nevertheless, they are not
regarded as primary pathogens, but rather as opportunists with a natural habitat ...
TREM2 expression in the brain and biological fluids in prion diseases
(Springer, 2021-04-21)
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) is an innate immune cell surface receptor that regulates microglial function and is involved in the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative ...
Development of a novel metric for evaluating diatom assemblages in rivers using DNA metabarcoding
(Elsevier, 2020-08-10)
Fundamental differences in the nature of diatom assemblage composition data generated using light microscopy and molecular barcoding create problems when applying current paradigms and metrics developed ...
Analysis of the Sustainability of Fattening Systems for Iberian Traditional Pig Production through a Technical and Environmental Approach
(MDPI, 2021-02-05)
At present, two types of fattening are carried out in Iberian traditional pig production. The montanera is the fattening system where fatteners are fed on acorns and pasture in the dehesa, and cebo de ...
Environmental life cycle assessment of producing willow, alfalfa and straw from spring barley as feedstocks for bioenergy or biorefinery systems
(Elsevier, 2016-10-17)
The aim of this study is to assess the potential environmental impacts of producing maize, grass-clover, ryegrass, and straw from winter wheat as biomass feedstocks for biorefinery. The Life Cycle ...
Genomic architecture of carcass and pork traits and their association with immune capacity
(Elsevier, 2023-11-28)
Carcass and pork traits have traditionally been considered of prime importance in pig breeding programmes. However, the changing conditions in modern farming, coupled with antimicrobial resistance issues, ...
Safety and Efficacy upon Infection in Sheep with Rift Valley Fever Virus ZH548-rA2, a Triple Mutant Rescued Virus
(MDPI, 2024-01-05)
The introduction of three single nucleotide mutations into the genome of the virulent RVFV
ZH548 strain allows for the rescue of a fully attenuated virus in mice (ZH548-rA2). These mutations
are located ...
