(Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, 2015)Seriola lalandi has been recognized as a potential aquaculture species in Chile, however, little is known about the genetic structure of local populations. This is important, as the current production system is based on ...
-
(Asociación Argentina de Microbiología, 2014)The use of bacteriophages for the biocontrol of food-borne pathogens is increasingly gaining acceptance. In this study, the effectiveness of bacteriophages to reduce Salmonella Enteritidis counts was evaluated in raw and ...
-
(MDPI, 2013)Crustaceans have to cyclically replace their rigid exoskeleton in order to grow. Most of them harden this skeleton by a calcification process. Some decapods (land crabs, lobsters and crayfish) elaborate calcium storage ...
-
(2014)Objectives: To calculate the Scapular Balance Angle (SBA) reference values in a healthy population between 18 and 85 years old, and to define abnormality criteria for this sample. Materials and methods: A descriptive study ...
-
(Oxford, 2014)Treehoppers (Membracidae) exhibit different levels of sociality, from solitary to presocial. Although they are one of the best biological systems to study the evolution of maternal care in insects, information on the ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2015)We evaluated the effectiveness of phages on meats and goat cheese contaminated with Salmonella Enteritidis (SE). In meats, reductions of SE were observed during the whole experiment, while in goat cheese a reduction was ...
-
(Wiley, 2014)Inferences about introduction histories of invasive species remain challenging because of the stochastic demographic processes involved. Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) can help to overcome these problems, but such ...
-
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2014)This article describes chronic bacterial endocarditis as the cause of aortic regurgitation in a 25-year-old Thoroughbred used for horseback riding. The horse presented signs of depression, exercise intolerance, and weight ...
-
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2014)Scarce information about the epidemiology of historical influenza pandemics in South America prevents complete understanding of pandemic patterns throughout the continent and across different climatic zones. To fill gaps ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2014)Infectious and parasitic diseases generate large economic losses in salmon farming. A feasible and sustainable alternative to prevent disease outbreaks may be represented by genetic improvement for disease resistance. To ...
-
(2012)Staphylococcus schleiferi subsp. coagulans was identified and described for the first time in 1990 by Igimi et al (1990) in dogs with otitis. The objective of this report was to determine the frequency of isolation of S. ...
-
(2012)The activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST) has been described in the cytosol and microsomes from cells of various tissues, where it catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione with xenobiotics. This activity also has ...
-
(Bentham Science, 2012)Cognitive deficits are trait markers in schizophrenia and the improvement of these dysfunctions has been considered as a new frontier of treatment in this disease. A current model for the patophysiology of schizophrenia ...
-
(Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2005)Preservation methods of spermatozoa using refrigeration have been developed for canine sperm; however, the rate of fertilization is still low, possibly due to cell damage for unknown reasons. The objective of this study ...
-
(2013)The time elapsed from death until the moment the corpse equals its temperature to ambient temperature is known as "Early Post Mortem Interval", and during this period the decrease in body temperature -algor mortis- is a ...
-
(2012)The use of nondestructive methods for obtaining DNA from amphibians (e.g. buccal swabs) allows genetic studies to be performed without affecting the survival of the studied individuals. In this study, we compared two methods ...
-
(2013)Working horses are still an important source of income for many families located in urban and peri-urban settings. An adequate health state in these horses is a prerequisite for welfare and work output, this is why the ...
-
(2011)From an animal production point of view, Cryptosporidium can cause great economic losses in systems that involve the raising of cattle by producing various degrees of diarrhea, particularly in calves that are less than 30 ...
-
(2012)Salmon sea lice represent one of the most important threats to salmon farming throughout the world. Results of private monitoring efforts have shown an increase in the number of positive cages and cage-level abundance of ...
-
(2012)A total of 189 faecal samples of the critically endangered Darwin's fox (Pseudalopex fulvipes [Martin, 1837]), from different areas within Chiloé Island in southern Chile were examined for parasites eggs and oocysts using ...
