A barnavirus sequence mined from a transcriptome of the Antarctic pearlwort Colobanthus quitensis
(2018-03)Because so few viruses in the family Barnaviridae have been reported, we searched for more of them in public sequence databases. Here, we report the complete coding sequence of Colobanthus quitensis associated barnavirus ... -
A case study of strategies for fostering international, interdisciplinary research
(2016-06)Bringing together and successfully managing a highly interdisciplinary (ID) research team of socioeconomic, biophysical, and engineering scientists is highly challenging, particularly when that team includes 20 scientists ... -
A comparative life cycle assessment of the sugarcane value chain in the province of Tucumán (Argentina) considering different technology levels
(Springer, 2017)Purpose: The purpose of this work is to quantify the environmental impact of the sugarcane industry in Tucumán (Argentina) through the life cycle analysis (LCA). The distinctive feature is the consideration of different ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and PCR assay for Salmonella detection in poultry drinking water
(Oxford Academic Press, 2013-01)The present work compared 2 culture methods and PCR assays for motile and nonmotile Salmonella detection using artificially contaminated poultry drinking water. The specificity was 1 for all methods studied. The accuracy ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and polymerase chain reaction assay for Salmonella detection in poultry feed
(Oxford Academic Press, 2011-11)The present work compared 2 culture methods and PCR assay for the detection of motile and non-motile Salmonella strains using artificially contaminated poultry feed. The specificity was 1 in all methods. The accuracy and ... -
A comparative study of culture methods and polymerase chain reaction for Salmonella detection in egg content
(Oxford Academic Press, 2012-10)The present work compared 2 culture methods and a PCR assay applied with 2 enrichment methods for the detection of motile and nonmotile Salmonella strains using artificially contaminated egg content. The specificity (Sp) ... -
A computational study of the interaction of the foot and mouth disease virus VP1 with monoclonal antibodies
(Elsevier, 2015-10)Foot and mouth disease is caused by a non-enveloped virus (FMDV), which disposes several antigenic sites at the surface of their capsid proteins. The most relevant and immunodominant antigenic site of FMDV (site A or AnSA) ... -
A contribution of beef to human health : a review of the role of the animal production systems
(2016)Meat and meat products constitute important source of protein, fat, and several functional compounds. Although beef consumption may implicate possible negative impacts on human health, its consumption can also contribute ... -
A cost-effective and customizable automated irrigation system for precise high-throughput phenotyping in drought stress studies
(2018-06-05)The development of high-yielding crops with drought tolerance is necessary to increase food, feed, fiber and fuel production. Methods that create similar environmental conditions for a large number of genotypes are essential ... -
A Coxiella mutualist symbiont is essential to the development of rhipicephalus microplus
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-12)The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is a hematophagous ectoparasite that causes important economic losses in livestock. Different species of ticks harbor a symbiont bacterium of the genus Coxiella. It was showed that ... -
A descriptive Study of lectin histochemistry of the placenta in cattle following inoculation of Neospora caninum.
(Elsevier, 2019-01)The aim of this study was to describe the lectin-binding pattern in the placentas of cows infected experimentally with Neospora caninum. Four cows were inoculated intravenously with 1 × 108 tachyzoites of the NC-1 strain ... -
A direct high-throughput in Cell-ELISA for measuring infectivity of cytopathic and non-cytopathic bovine viral diarrhoea virus strains applied to the assessment of antiviral activity
(Elsevier, 2018-07-19)Low-cost high-throughput methods applicable to any virus strain are required for screening antiviral compounds against multiple field strains. Colorimetric cell-viability assays are used for this purpose as long as the ... -
A DNA vaccine formulated with chemical adjuvant provides partial protection against bovine herpes virus infection in cattle
(2017-01-25)Bovine herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is the causative agent of bovine infectious rhinotracheitis, an important disease worldwide. Although conventional BoHV-1 vaccines, including those based on the use of modified live virus and ... -
A dose-dependent response to MEK inhibition determines hypoblast fate in bovine embryos
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-04)Background: The segregation of the hypoblast and the emergence of the pluripotent epiblast mark the final stages of blastocyst formation in mammalian embryos. In bovine embryos the formation of the hypoblast has been ... -
A first record of bulk atmospheric deposition patterns of major ions in southern South America
(Springer, 2019-09)Despite the importance of long-term atmospheric deposition of ions for vegetation productivity and biogeochemistry, southern South America lacks long-term deposition records. We report a 6-year-long record of atmospheric ... -
A functional classification of 63 common Poaceae in the “Campos” grasslands of South America
(Asociación Argentina de Ecología, 2019-08)The natural grasslands that form part of the “Campos” of South America contain a large number of species at the paddock level (high α diversity), but little differentiation among paddocks (low β diversity). Thus, forage ... -
A functional XopAG homologue in Xanthomonas fuscans pv. aurantifolii strain C limits host range
(British Society for Plant Pathology, 2015)Citrus canker is caused by two Xanthomonas species, Xanthomonas citri, which has become the primary pathogen where citrus canker occurs (type A citrus canker, Xc-A), and X. fuscans pv. aurantifolii (Xfa), which consists ... -
A fungal endophyte of a palatable grass affects preference of large herbivores
