African swine fever virus does not express viral microRNAs in experimentally infected pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-03)
Background: African swine fever virus (ASFV) is the etiological agent of African swine fever (ASF), a re-expanding
devastating and highly lethal hemorrhagic viral disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are a new ...
Role of AMPK signalling pathway during compensatory growth in pigs
(BioMed Central, 2018-09-17)
Background: The molecular basis of compensatory growth in monogastric animals has not yet been fully explored.
Herewith, in this study we aim to determine changes in the pig skeletal muscle transcriptome ...
Fast acquisition of a polysaccharide fermenting gut microbiome by juvenile green turtles Chelonia mydas after settlement in coastal habitats
(BioMed Central, 2018-04-10)
Background: Tetrapods do not express hydrolases for cellulose and hemicellulose assimilation, and hence, the
independent acquisition of herbivory required the establishment of new endosymbiotic ...

Chimeric camel/human heavy-chain antibodies protect against MERS-CoV infection
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-08-08)
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) continues to cause outbreaks in humans as a result of spillover events from dromedaries. In contrast to humans, MERS-CoV–exposed dromedaries develop ...
Temperature responsiveness of gilthead sea bream bone; an in vitro and in vivo approach
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-25)
This study aimed to characterize the molecules involved in osteogenesis in seabream and establish using in vitro/in vivo approaches the responsiveness of selected key genes to temperature. The impact ...
The future of biotic indices in the ecogenomic era: Integrating (e)DNA metabarcoding in biological assessment of aquatic ecosystems
(Elsevier, 2018-05-22)
The bioassessment of aquatic ecosystems is currently based on various biotic indices that use the occurrence and/or abundance of selected taxonomic groups to define ecological status. These conventional ...
Multi-Target Strategy for Pan/Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) Detection: A Combination of Sequences Analysis, in Silico Predictions and Laboratory Diagnostic Evaluation
(Frontiers Media, 2018-07-12)
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease affecting cloven-hoofed animals that causes severe economic losses. The disease is characterized by a vesicular condition and it cannot ...
Population Structure, Antimicrobial Resistance, and Virulence-Associated Genes in Campylobacter jejuni Isolated From Three Ecological Niches: Gastroenteritis Patients, Broilers, and Wild Birds
(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-02)
Campylobacter jejuni is the causal agent of the food-borne infection with the highest incidence in Europe. Both poultry and wild birds are a major reservoir. To gain insight into the population structure, ...
