Diversity of respiratory viruses present in nasal swabs under influenza suspicion in respiratory disease cases of weaned pigs
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022-10-19)Respiratory diseases in weaned pigs are a common problem, with a complex etiology involving both viruses and bacteria. In the present study, we investigated the presence of eleven viruses in nasal swabs, ... -
Aligning citizen science and remote sensing phenology observations to characterize climate change impact on vegetation
(Environmental Research Letters, 2022-08-08)Phenology observations are essential indicators to characterize the local effects of climate change. Citizen participation in the collection of phenological observations is a potential approach to provide ... -
Agreement and differential use of laboratory methods for the detection and quantification of SARS-CoV-2 in experimentally infected animals
(Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022-11-15)Rodents are widely used for the development of COVID-19-like animal models, the virological outcome being determined through several laboratory methods reported in the literature. Our objective was to ... -
A consensus map for quality traits in durum wheat based on genome-wide association studies and detection of ortho-meta QTL across cereal species
(Frontiers in Genetics, 2022-08-30)The present work focused on the identification of durum wheat QTL hotspots from a collection of genome-wide association studies, for quality traits, such as grain protein content and composition, yellow ... -
A simple and portable method for on-line texture measurement of Italian “Speck Alto Adige"
(Meat Science, 2022-04-27)Texture is a relevant parameter for the assessment of cured ham's quality. In this study a rapid on-line instrumental technique for the measurement of the texture of pieces of cured smoked ham intended ... -
An automated and improved methodology to retrieve long-time series of evapotranspiration based on remote sensing and reanalysis data
(Remote Sensing, 2022-12-09)The large-scale quantification of accurate evapotranspiration (ET) time series has substantially been developed in recent decades using automated approaches based on remote sensing data. However, there ... -
A method for using monthly average temperatures in phenology models for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
(VINE AND WINE OPEN ACCES JOURNAL, 2022-11-21)In recent years, there have been increasing efforts to link phenology models with seasonal climate predictions in so-called Decision Support Systems (DSS) to tailor crop management strategies. However, ... -
A pilot study about on-farm assessment of health and welfare in rabbits kept in different housing systems
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022-08-11)This pilot study tested an on-farm protocol based on resource, management, and animal-based measures to evaluate the on-farm health and welfare of rabbits kept in four different housing systems. In ... -
The use of recovered struvite and ammonium nitrate in fertigation in a horticultural rotation: agronomic and microbiological assessment
(Environmental Technology, 2022-12-12)Phosphorus and nitrogen recovery from wastewater as struvite and ammonium nitrate (AN) may be viable alternative fertilizers to boost circularity in horticulture. A 2-year fertigated crop rotation in ... -
