Validation of the fCAL turbo immunoturbidimetric assay for measurement of calprotectin in porcine and bovine fecal samples
(Elsevier, 2023-10-05)
The concentration of calprotectin in feces is a well-studied marker of gastrointestinal inflammation in humans. However, little is known about fecal calprotectin in farm animals. In this work, we have ...
Use of wood and cork in biofilters for the simultaneous removal of nitrates and pesticides from groundwater
(Elsevier, 2022-12-07)
About 13% and 7% of monitored groundwater stations in Europe exceed the permitted levels of nitrates (50 mg NO3− L−1) or pesticides (0.1 μg L−1), respectively. Although slow sand filtration can remove ...
Immobilisation of Neuro-2a cells on electrodes and electrochemical detection of MTT formazan crystals to assess their viability
(Elsevier, 2022-09-24)
Marine toxins are potent toxic compounds that may reach humans and poison them. Therefore, their detection in seafood is crucial to prevent intoxication cases. Colorimetric cell-based assays (CBAs) have ...
Quantification of camelid cytokine mRNA expression in PBMCs by microfluidic qPCR technology
(Elsevier, 2023-09-17)
Camelids are economically and socially important in several parts of the world and might carry pathogens with
epizootic or zoonotic potential. However, biological research in these species is limited ...
Evaluation of two short overlapping rbcL markers for diatom metabarcoding of environmental samples: Effects on biomonitoring assessment and species resolution
(Elsevier, 2022-08-08)
Two short diatom rbcL barcodes, 331-bp and 263-bp in length, have frequently been used in diatom metabarcoding studies. They overlap in a common 263-bp region but differ in the presence or absence of a ...
Impact of genetic diversity and antibiotic-resistance of Salmonella isolated from feral cats: One Health approach
(Elsevier, 2023-08-29)
Free-living cats usually live in colonies in urban areas, especially close to parks and neighbourhoods where
people feed them without any sanitary control. This can pose a human, animal and environmental ...
Reusing drainage water and substrate to improve the environmental and economic performance of Mediterranean greenhouse cropping
(Elsevier, 2023-05-17)
The objective of this study is to provide decision makers and policy makers with adequate information to support the diffusion of reuse strategies in Mediterranean greenhouses. Sixteen alternative ...
The influence of nitrate pollution on elemental and isotopic composition of aquatic and semi-aquatic bryophytes
(Elsevier, 2023-09-09)
Bryophytes can play an important role in key ecosystem processes and represent potential candidates as bioindicators for environmental monitoring programmes. Nitrate (NO3−) pollution poses a growing ...
Impacts of seasonality, drought, nitrogen fertilization, and litter on soil fluxes of biogenic volatile organic compounds in a Mediterranean forest
(Elsevier, 2023-09-27)
Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) play critical roles in ecosystems at various scales, influencing above- and below-ground interactions and contributing to the atmospheric environment. ...
Reproduction of the endangered fan mussel Pinna nobilis under natural and captivity conditions
(Wiley, 2023-09-05)
1. A mass mortality event that started in 2016 has put the fan mussel Pinna nobilis close to the brink of extinction, leading to the species being classified as Critically Endangered in the Red List of ...
