(Taylor & Francis, 1997)In the semiarid Monte desert, Río Negro province, the mara (Dolichotis patagonum) and the European hare (Lepus europaeus), which was introduced about hundred years ago, today occur sympatrically, as in many regions of ... -
Foot-and-mouth disease vaccination induces cross-reactive IFN-γ responses in cattle that are dependent on the integrity of the 140S particles
(2015-02)Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) recall responses against foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) in FMD vaccinated cattle are utilized to study T-lymphocyte immunity against this virus. Here, a recall IFN-γ assay based on a commercial ... -
Foot-and-mouth disease virus infection of dendritic cells triggers phosphorylation of ERK1/2 inducing class I presentation and apoptosis
(Elsevier, 2015-09)Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a highly contagious viral disease of cloven-hoofed animals. This pathology is caused by foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Over time, the development of vaccines to prevent the spread of ... -
Foot-and-Mouth Disease: Optimization, Reproducibility, and Scalability of High-Yield Production of Virus-Like Particles for a Next-Generation Vaccine
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-09)Inactivated Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) vaccine has proven to be effective in the control of the disease. However, its production has some disadvantages, including the costly biosafety facilities required for the production ... -
Foot‐and‐Mouth Disease in pigs: current epidemiological situation and control methods
(Wiley, 2012-03)Foot‐and‐mouth disease (FMD) is the paradigm of a transboundary animal disease. Beyond any doubt, it is the most serious challenge for livestock’s health. Official Veterinary Services from free countries invest considerable ... -
Forage Accumulation and Quality of Three Contrasting Ecotypes of Tall Fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus) Managed under Frequent Defoliation
(University of Kentucky, 2021)In the past, tall fescue ecotypes were compared under intermediate management defoliation frequency, but now has station, Argentina (-33 ° 56 'S, -60 ° 33' W) in autumn 2016, on a typical Argiudoll soil. The treatments ... -
Forage ofering and seasonal intake comparisons to evaluate European rabbit threat in Nothofagus forests of southern Patagonia
(Springer Nature, 2022-07-05)Background: The European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L. 1758) was introduced into diferent regions of the world, generating signifcant trade-ofs that critically impacted native vegetation. Here, we evaluate the rabbit’s ... -
Forage production and perennial root biomass in alfalfa under two cutting heights
(Ediciones INTA, 2023-06)This study evaluated the impact of cutting severity (4 vs. 10 cm cutting height) on forage production and biomass of perennial organs (root plus crown), in two contrasting winter dormant cultivars of lucerne (G6 vs. G10), ... -
Forage provision is more affected by droughts in arid and semi-arid than in mesic rangelands
(Wiley, 2022-06)Droughts are projected to increase in magnitude, frequency and duration in the near future. In rangelands, the provision of valuable ecosystem services such as forage supply for livestock productivity is intimately linked ... -
Forage yield gap analysis for tall fescue pastures in Argentina: A modelling approach
(Wiley, 2020-12-07)A large gap between actual and potential herbage production of tall fescue is a major limitation for livestock production systems in Argentina. The objectives of this work were to (a) calibrate and test the ability of a ... -
Forage yield, water- and solar radiation-productivities of perennial pastures and annual crops sequences in the south-eastern Pampas of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2018-05-15)Livestock production systems of Argentina show an ongoing process of change in the composition of their forage base, with a gradual increase in the proportion of their area assigned to forage crop sequences (FCS) −in ... -
