Ram semen deterioration by short-term exposure to high altitude is prevented by improvement of antioxidant status
(Cambridge University Press, 2018)Ovine reproduction efficiency in herds at high altitude (ha) is lower than that at low altitude (la). In ewes, ha effects are due to hypoxia and oxidative stress. Our aim was to establish the effect of antioxidant vitamin ... -
Exploratory and descriptive study on nutritional characteristics and quality of eggs from Chilean partridge (Nothoprocta perdicaria)
(Wiley, 2018)This work aims to contribute more information on tinamou eggs by performing an exploratory and descriptive study of some of their nutritional and quality characteristics. The chemical composition of tinamou egg showed a ... -
Trypanosoma cruzi load in synanthropic rodents from rural areas in Chile
(BIOMED Central Ltd., 2018)Background: Trypanosoma cruzi is the agent of Chagas disease, a major public health problem in Latin America. Many wild and domestic animals are naturally infected with T. cruzi; rodents are one of the groups which have ... -
In-House validation of HPLC-MS/MS methods for detection and quantification of tetracyclines in edible tissues and feathers of broiler chickens
(Soc Brasileira Química, 2018)For the detection of tetraciclines in feathers, muscle and liver, an internal protocol was designed for in-house validation of two methods, through high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric ... -
Myogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells derived from fetal bovine bone marrow
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)The myogenic potential of bovine fetal MSC (bfMSC) derived from bone marrow (BM) remains unknown; despite its potential application for the study of myogenesis and its implications for livestock production. In the present ... -
Application of the hands on donkey tool for assessing the welfare of working equids at Tuliman, Mexico
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Equids are still used for diverse chores in Mexico and are essential for the livelihoods of numerous families. Appropriate health and behavior are prerequisites for performing work without affecting welfare. This study ... -
Detection of persistent pestivirus infection in pudú (Pudu puda) in a captive population of artiodactyls in Chile
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2018)Background: Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV) is the viral agent causing the most important economic losses in livestock throughout the world. Infection of fetuses before their immunological maturity causes the birth of ... -
Genomic prediction accuracy for resistance against piscirickettsia salmonis in farmed rainbow trout
(Genetics Society America, 2018)Salmonid rickettsial syndrome (SRS), caused by the intracellular bacterium Piscirickettsia salmonis, is one of the main diseases affecting rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) farming. To accelerate genetic progress, genomic ... -
Daily pattern of locomotor activity of the synanthropic spiders Loxosceles laeta and Scytodes globula
(American Arachnological Society, 2018)The locomotor activity of the Chilean recluse spider Loxosceles laeta (Nicolet, 1849), and the spitting spider, Scytodes globula Nicolet, 1849, were studied in the laboratory under controlled conditions (LD 12:12). In ... -
Wild birds in Chile harbor diverse avian influenza A viruses
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018)While the circulation of avian influenza viruses (IAV) in wild birds in the northern hemisphere has been well documented, data from South America remain sparse. To address this gap in knowledge, we undertook IAV surveillance ... -
Predators and parasitoids of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, in its native range and invaded areas
(Springer, 2018)The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has rapidly spread in several continents over the past 30 years and is considered an invasive alien species. The success of H. axyridis as an invader is ... -
Genomic predictions and genome wide association study of resistance against Piscirickettsia salmonis in Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) using ddRAD sequencing
(Genetics Society of America, 2018)Piscirickettsia salmonis is one of the main infectious diseases affecting coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) farming, and current treatments have been ineffective for the control of this disease. Genetic improvement for ... -
Electrocrystallization of CaCO3 crystals obtained through Phosphorylated Chitin
(MDPI, 2018)A phosphorylated chitin (Chi-P) derivative was synthesized and its chemical structure was verified with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric techniques (TGA). The influence ... -
Effect of Alginate from Chilean Lessonia nigrescens and MWCNTs on CaCO3 crystallization by classical and non classical methods
(MDPI, 2018)In our crystallization experiments, the influence of alginate from Chilean Lessonia nigrescens and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was tested through electrocrystallization (EC) and gas diffusion (GD) ... -
The relationship between working horse welfare and their owners' socio-economic status
(Univ Federation Animal Welfare, 2018)The relationship between the socio-economic status of working equine owners and the welfare status of their animals is yet to be documented. The aim of this study was to provide an approach to understanding socio-economic ... -
Depletion of tylosin residues in feathers, muscle and liver from broiler chickens after completion of antimicrobial therapy
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)Tylosin is one of the most commonly used antimicrobial drugs from the macrolide family and in broiler chickens it is used specially for the treatment of infectious pathologies. The poultry industry produces several ... -
Trypanosoma cruzi evades the complement system as an efficient strategy to survive in the Mammalian host: the specific roles of host/parasite molecules and Trypanosoma cruzi Calreticulin
(Frontiers media SA, 2017)American Trypanosomiasis is an important neglected reemerging tropical parasitism, infecting about 8 million people worldwide. Its agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, exhibits multiple mechanisms to evade the host immune response ... -
Resistance against infectious pancreatic necrosis exhibits significant genetic variation and is not genetically correlated with harvest weight in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
(Elsevier, 2017)Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is one of the most prevalent and economically important diseases in rainbow trout aquaculture (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Vaccines as a conventional control measure have shown variable results ... -
Meloxicam decreases the migration and invasion of CF41.Mg canine mammary carcinoma cells
(Spandidos Publications Ltd., 2017)Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression is positively correlated with malignant features in canine mammary carcinomas. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) inhibit COX activity and may therefore possess anticancer ...
