Genetic regulation of volatile production in two melon introgression line collections with contrasting ripening behavior
(Horticulture Research, 2024-01-16)The importance of melon aroma in determining fruit quality has been highlighted in recent years. The fruit volatile profile is influenced by the type of fruit ripening. Non-climacteric fruits contain ... -
Cephalonomia tarsalis (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) for the control of the sawtoothed grain beetle, either alone or in combination with the predatory mite Blattisocius tarsalis
(Journal of Stored Products Research, 2024-01-19)The sawtoothed grain beetle Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) is an important pest of stored cereals. Due to the phasing out of many active compounds registered as insecticides and ... -
New Potential Role of European Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) in the Epidemiology of Border Disease in the Pyrenees
(Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2023-10-24)Since 2001, high-mortality outbreaks of border disease (BD) have negatively affected populations of Pyrenean chamois (Rupicapra pyrenaica pyrenaica). Studies in the affected areas determined that sympatric ... -
A monoclonal antibody targeting a large surface of the receptor binding motif shows pan-neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 activity
(Nature Communications, 2024-02-05)Here we report the characterization of 17T2, a SARS-CoV-2 pan-neutralizing human monoclonal antibody isolated from a COVID-19 convalescent individual infected during the first pandemic wave. 17T2 is a ... -
Native and invasive bird interactions increase the spread of Newcastle disease in urban environments
(Biological Invasions, 2023-12-11)Due to their large population sizes, synanthropic birds, including native and invasive species, can transmit pathogens to other vertebrates, and even humans. In particular, Newcastle disease virus (NDV) ... -
Exploring large-scale gene coexpression networks in peach (Prunus persica L.): a new tool for predicting gene function
(Horticulture Research, 2024-01-02)Peach is a model for Prunus genetics and genomics, however, identifying and validating genes associated to peach breeding traits is a complex task. A gene coexpression network (GCN) capable of capturing ... -
Air treatment technologies in pig farms. Life cycle assessment of dry and wet scrubbers in Northern Italy and Northeastern Spain
(Science of the Total Environment, 2024-02-24)Over the years, different solutions were developed and tested to reduce the emissions of ammonia and particulate matter from the livestock facilities. The environmental performances of these solutions ... -
Preweaning piglet survival on commercial farms
(Journal of Animal Science, 2023-12-12)Preweaning piglet mortality (PWM), a trait highly related to litter size, is one of the main concerns associated with productive efficiency and animal welfare in commercial pig farms. The objectives of ... -
Erysipelas with preferential brain and skin involvement in a Mediterranean bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus
(Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2024-02-01)Infections by Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae occur in domestic animals and cause the disease known as ‘erysipelas’. The ubiquity of Erysipelothrix spp. makes infection possible in a wide range of ... -
PERSEUS: an interactive and intuitive web-based tool for pedigree visualization
(Bioinformatics, 2024-02-03)Pedigree-based analyses’ prime role is to unravel relationships between individuals in breeding programs and germplasms. This is critical information for decoding the genetics underlying main inherited ... -
Impacts of diffuse urban stressors on stream benthic communities and ecosystem functioning: A review
