ResynPy: a software for selecting pairs of complementary inbred lines to resynthesize valuable heterozygous genotypes
Background Using cultivars based on a single, partly heterozygous, genotype is one of the bases of agriculture, frequently used in seed-propagated species such as vegetables and field crops (F1 hybrid varieties), and in ...
Activity and behavior patterns of cattle, horses, and sheep grazing in mountainous areas using geolocation collars
The sustainability of extensive livestock systems is compromised. It is necessary to enhance our understanding of the activity and grazing behavior of different livestock species (cows, horses, and sheep) sharing the same ...
The impact of global change on the intraguild predation among three predatory mites of Tetranychus urticae in citrus orchards
The two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, is a key pest of clementine mandarin orchards in the Mediterranean basin. Efective biological control, vital for managing T. urticae populations, involves the phytoseiid ...
Dynamics of Reinfection by Neobenedenia sp. (Monogenea, Capsalidae) in Almaco Jack, Seriola rivoliana, Kept in a Cultivation System
Fish susceptibility to parasitic infection is a crucial issue in aquaculture, where the density of captive fish increases the intensity of parasitic infections. Monogeneans are a group of parasitic flatworms that include ...
Innovative vs. classical methods for drying heterotrophic Chlorella vulgaris: Impact on the nutritional properties, safety, sustainability and costs
The microalgae Chlorella vulgaris is an interesting emerging food source, but to compete with other alternative protein sources, production costs must be reduced. The drying process plays a critical role in production as ...
Plant Domestication Alters the Nutritional Content of Guttation Droplets with Multi-Trophic Consequences
Domestication often alters plant traits, leading to cascading effects on ecological interactions, particularly in tri-trophic relationships among plants, herbivores, and their natural enemies. While recent studies have ...
Proteomic characterisation and digestibility score of milk powders obtained through pulse spray drying and traditional spray drying
Powdered milk is a food ingredient valued for its long-term shelf life and space-saving qualities. However, the process of concentrating and drying milk, usually through spray drying, can lead to chemical modifications in ...
“Real Meat, Real Care” – 71st International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST), August 2025, Girona, Catalonia, Spain
The International Congress of Meat Science and Technology (ICoMST) is the leading international congress in the field of Meat Science and Technology, held annually. In 2025, the 71st Edition of the Congress was held in ...
Unveiling novel QTLs for nitrogen use efficiency in temperate Japonica rice
Background Nitrogen (N) is essential for rice growth and has driven yield increases since the 1950s. However, excessive use of mineral N fertilizers has led to considerable environmental and economic concerns. Enhancing ...
The role of human–pig interactions in modulating gut microbiota, stress, and performance
Background The microbiota‒gut‒brain axis modulates pigs’ stress response, behavior, and overall welfare. Stressful management practices can disrupt gut microbiota (GM), negatively impacting pigs' health and welfare. This ...
Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in broiler chicken livers: High prevalence and surface contamination, but low load in inner tissue
Thermophilic Campylobacter spp. are the main cause of gastrointestinal illness in humans through contaminated food. Poultry and poultry products are the main sources of Campylobacter infection. Epidemiological data on ...
The role of innate immune responses against two strains of PEDV (S INDEL and non-S INDEL) in newborn and weaned piglets inoculated by combined orogastric and intranasal routes
Introduction: Porcine epidemic diarrhea (PED) is a severe gastrointestinal disease in swine caused by PED virus (PEDV), leading to significant economic losses worldwide. Newborn piglets are especially vulnerable, with ...
A human-ACE2 knock-in mouse model for SARS-CoV-2 infection recapitulates respiratory disorders but avoids neurological disease associated with the transgenic K18-hACE2 model
Animal models have been instrumental in elucidating the pathogenesis of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and in testing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines and therapeutics. ...
Pyrrolizidine alkaloid intoxication outbreaks in fattening pigs associated with drought-related feed contamination
Background Pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) intoxication is a well-documented condition in livestock, resulting from the ingestion of forage and grain contaminated with PA-producing plants. These phytotoxins primarily affect ...
Porcine circovirus 3 subclinical infection in wild boar is not associated with systemic lesions
Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) is known to endemically circulate in domestic pigs, both in intensive and extensive settings. This virus occasionally causes reproductive and/or postnatal disease, although its full impact is ...
Bycatch in Cetaceans from the North-Western Mediterranean Sea: Retrospective Study of Lesions and Utility of Bycatch Criteria
Bycatch (accidental capture in fisheries) is the most common cause of death of small delphinids worldwide. Determining bycatch to be the primary cause of death in a free-ranging stranded cetacean relies on the detection ...
Protection and diagnostic interference induced by heat-inactivated, phage-inactivated and live vaccine prototypes against animal tuberculosis
Introduction: Vaccination emerges as a promising cost-eective tool to reduce the impact and spread of animal tuberculosis, especially in regions where testand-slaughter eradication strategy is socioeconomically unfeasible ...
Evaluation of the Dose of African Swine Fever Virus Required to Establish Infection in Pigs Following Oral Uptake
African swine fever virus (ASFV) is known to be very stable within a protein-rich environment and indirect virus transmission can be mediated via oral uptake of different materials. However, experimental studies in pigs ...
Soil-atmosphere terpene exchanges in the tropical forest of French Guiana with nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer application
Background and aims Tropical forest soils can act as sources or sinks of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), especially terpenes, yet the impact of long-term nutrient deposition on these fluxes remains unclear. ...
