      Barandiaran, Soledad; Pérez, Andrés M.; Gioffre, Andrea; Martinez Vivot, Marcela; Cataldi, Angel Adrian; Zumarraga, Martin Jose (Cambridge University Press, 2015-04)
      In Argentina little is known about the epidemiology of tuberculosis (TB) infection in swine. We characterized the epidemiological dynamics of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in a swine population of Argentina ...
    • Use of Chelex-100 for the molecular diagnosisof five animal pathogens 

      Tomazic, Mariela Luján; Hamer, Micaela; Bustos, Carla Paola; Arregui, Matias Ezequiel; Ascencio, Mariano; Saraullo, Vanina Rosa; Watanabe, Olivia; Brihuega, Bibiana Felicitas; Rodriguez, Anabel Elisa; Grune Loffler, Sylvia (Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Litoral, 2021-06)
      Molecular tools have improved conventional veterinary diagnosis. Acid nucleic extraction is a key step for downstream applications. This work aimed to compare the DNA extraction method Chelex-100 resin (M1) ...
    • Use of the Leptospira sp. ligB C-terminus coding region as a diagnostic tool of animal leptospirosis 

      Saraullo, Vanina Rosa; Grune Loffler, Sylvia; Florin-Christensen, Mónica; Watanabe, Olivia; Hamer, Micaela; Martinez, Mara Leila; Brihuega, Bibiana Felicitas (Elsevier, 2021-10)
      Leptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis worldwide, and it can cause reproductive failures in livestock, while in humans may vary from a mild fever to multi-organ failure and death. Due to this, in this study, we ...
    • Use of touch-down polymerase chain reaction to enhance the sensitivity of Mycobacterium bovis detection 

      Zumarraga, Martin Jose; Meikle, Virginia; Bernardelli, Amelia; Abdala, Alejandro Ariel; Tarabla, Hector Dante; Romano, Maria Isabel; Cataldi, Angel Adrian (Sage Publications, 2005-05)
      The confirmatory diagnosis of Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) in animal samples is carried out by culture in Stonebrink media. However, culture is very slow because of the extremely long duplication time of the bacillus and ...
    • Validation of reference genes for quantitative PCR in Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) under glyphosate stress 

      Ulrich, Maria Noelia; Muñiz-Padilla, Esteban; Corach, Alejandra; Hopp, Horacio Esteban; Tosto, Daniela Sandra (MDPI, 2021-08)
      Weeds are one of the main causes of the decrease in crop yields, with Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) being one of the most significant. Weeds can be controlled by herbicides, but some have developed resistance. ...
