First parasitological study of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis, Amphibia) in Chile
(Brazilian College of Veterinary Parasitology, 2017)Introduced species can arrive into new territories with parasites; however, these species are expected to face lower parasite richness than in their original regions. Both introduced hosts and parasites can affect native ... -
Variability in biological behaviour, pathogenicity, protectotype and induction of virus neutralizing antibodies by different vaccination programmes to infectious bronchitis virus genotype Q1 strains from Chile
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)In the period from July 2008 to 2010, a disease episode resulting in serious economic losses in the major production area of the Chilean poultry industry was reported. These losses were associated with respiratory problems, ... -
First detection and characterization of Salmonella spp. in poultry and swine raised in backyard production systems in central Chile
(Cambridge University Press, 2017)Little is known about Salmonella serovars circulating in backyard poultry and swine populations worldwide. Backyard production systems (BPS) that raise swine and/or poultry are distributed across Chile, but are more heavily ... -
Variability in the response of canine and human dendritic cells stimulated with Brucella canis
(Biomed Central Ltd., 2017)Brucella canis is a small intracellular Gram-negative bacterium whose primary host is the dog, but it also can cause mild human brucellosis. One of the main causes of an inefficient immune response against other species ... -
Farm animal welfare influences on markets and consumer attitudes in Latin America: the cases of Mexico, Chile and Brazil
(Springer, 2017)In recent years, animal welfare has become an important element of sustainable production that has evolved along with the transformation of animal production systems. Consumer attitudes towards farm animal welfare are ... -
Bayesian genome wide association analysis for body weight in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Wiley, 2017)We performed a genome-wide association study to detect markers associated with growth traits in Atlantic salmon. The analyzed traits included body weight at tagging (BWT) and body weight at 25 months (BW25M). Genotypes of ... -
Identification of a divergent genotype of equine arteritis virus from South American donkeys
(Wiley, 2017)A novel equine arteritis virus (EAV) was isolated and sequenced from feral donkeys in Chile. Phylogenetic analysis indicates that the new virus and South African asinine strains diverged at least 100years from equine EAV ... -
Hermetism between camponotus morosus smith and linepithema humile mayr (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(Ediciones Universidad de Concepción, 2017)Hermetism, a behavior that isolates ant colonies, was studied in the laboratory between two ant species in Chile, Camponotus morosus Smith and Linepithema humile Mayr. Ants from five nests of C. morosus and L. humile were ... -
Apoptosis inhibition of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) peritoneal macrophages by Piscirickettsia salmonis
(Wiley, 2017)To improve the understanding of the piscirickettsiosis pathogenesis, the invivo apoptosis modulation of peritoneal macrophages and lymphocytes was studied in juvenile Salmo salar intraperitoneally injected with Piscirickettsia ... -
In the shadow of the condor: invasive Harmonia axyridis found at very high altitude in the Chilean Andes
(Wiley, 2017)1. Harmonia axyridis has invaded many regions of the world, with negative effects on local biodiversity, and thus it is of global concern for biological conservation. Recently it has invaded central Chile, one of the world's ... -
Ecographic characterization of reproductive system of male and females of African hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris)
(Universidad del Zulia, 2017)Ultrasonography is a minimally invasive procedure that provides a lot of information, but it is important to consider that it is necessary to know the normal view of each system to make a correct diagnosis. This tool is ... -
How does the replacement of native forest by exotic forest plantations affect the diversity, abundance and trophic structure of saproxylic beetle assemblages?
(Elsevier, 2017)Native forest in central Chile has been increasingly replaced by exotic forest plantations. In particular, saproxylic beetles could be highly sensitive to exotic forest plantations due to the clear-cutting management ... -
Retrospective evaluation of milk production and culling risk following either surgical, toggle-pin suture or conservative treatment of left displaced abomasum in Chilean dairy cows
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)AIMS: To describe milk yield and culling risk in cows diagnosed with left displacement of abomasum (LDA) treated either conservatively, by right flank pyloric omentopexy, or rolling and toggling, compared with normal ... -

(Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, 2017)El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo el describir la musculatura intrínseca del miembro torácico del león africano (Panthera leo). Para tal efecto se utilizó un ejemplar hembra, donado por el Zoológico Metropolitano de ... -
Isolation of drug resistant Salmonella enterica serovar enteritidis strains in gentoo penguins from Antarctica
(Springer, 2017)Anthropogenic activity in Antarctica constitutes a continuous risk for the introduction of infectious diseases into indigenous wildlife populations. Penguin colonies living close to human settlements or inhabiting in areas ... -
Welfare status of working horses and owners' perceptions of their animals
(MDPI AG, 2017)Simple Summary: Appropriate strategies aimed at improving the welfare of working horses should contemplate the assessment of welfare status, as well as the evaluation of the human-animal relationship within each geo-cultural ... -
