Field-captured Aedes vexans (Meigen, 1830) is a competent vector for Rift Valley fever phlebovirus in Europe
(Parasites and Vectors, 2019-10-16)BACKGROUND: Aedes vexans (Meigen) is considered a nuisance species in central Europe and the Mediterranean region. It is an anthropophilic and mammalophilic floodwater mosquito involved in the transmission ... -
Detection of MERS-CoV antigen on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded nasal tissue of alpacas by immunohistochemistry using human monoclonal antibodies directed against different epitopes of the spike protein
(Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 2019-09-09)Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) represents an important respiratory disease accompanied by lethal outcome in one third of human patients. In recent years, several investigators developed protective ... -
Development of a new largely scalable in vitro prion propagation method for the production of infectious recombinant prions for high resolution structural studies
(PLoS Pathogens, 2019-10-23)The resolution of the three-dimensional structure of infectious prions at the atomic level is pivotal to understand the pathobiology of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE), but has been long ... -
Predicting the success of an invader: Niche shift versus niche conservatism
(Ecology and Evolution, 2019-10-25)Invasive species can encounter environments different from their source populations, which may trigger rapid adaptive changes after introduction (niche shift hypothesis). To test this hypothesis, we ... -
Fatal Photobacterium damselae-induced enteritis in a leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea
(Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2019-08-08)Stranded leatherback turtle Dermochelys coriacea complete pathology reports are rare, and the cause of mortality is difficult to determine in many cases. We conducted a complete pathological study of a ... -
Inheritance and QTL analysis of chilling and heat requirements for flowering in an interspecific almond x peach (Texas x Earlygold) F2 population
(Springer Verlag, 2020-03-04)Blooming in temperate fruit species is triggered by chilling and heat requirements (CR and HR), with a wide range of requirements within the same species. CR for flower bud dormancy release has become ... -
Infection dynamics of porcine circovirus type 3 in longitudinally sampled pigs from four Spanish farms
(Veterinary Record, 2019-04-30)Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV-3) is a recently discovered virus in domestic pigs and wild boar. The virus has been described in pigs with different clinical/pathological presentations and healthy ... -
The importance of pepsin‐like acid protease quantification in aquaculture studies: a revision of available procedures and presentation of a new protocol for its assessment
(Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020-02-05)Assessing the activity of acid pepsin‐like protease is a common procedure in many biological, physiological and nutritional studies in gastric fish species. After reviewing the available literature on ... -
Characterization of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae strains in vaccinated and non-vaccinated pigs from Spanish slaughterhouses

DNA vaccine based on conserved HA-peptides induces strong immune response and rapidly clears influenza virus infection from vaccinated pigs
(PLoS ONE, 2019-09-25)Swine influenza virus (SIVs) infections cause a significant economic impact to the pork industry. Moreover, pigs may act as mixing vessel favoring genome reassortment of diverse influenza viruses. ... -
Oviposition behavior of the mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus under risk of intraguild predation and cannibalism
(Insect Science, 2020-01-09)Zoophytophagous mirid species, that feed and develop either on prey or plant resources, are often found simultaneously on the same host. Hence, these species can engage in both intraguild predation and ... -
