Molecular characterization of pestiviruses in fetal bovine sera originating from Argentina: evidence of circulation of HoBi-like viruses
(Frontiers Media, 2019-10)Serological evidence suggests that HoBi-like viruses, an emerging species within the Pestivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family, are in circulation in Argentina. While HoBi-like viruses were first isolated from Brazilian ... -
Prevalence of Cryptosporidium parvum in dairy calves and GP60 subtyping of diarrheic calves in central Argentina
(Springer, 2019-07)Cryptosporidiosis of calves is caused by the enteroprotozoan Cryptosporidium spp. The disease results in intense diarrhea of calves associated with substantial economic losses in dairy farming worldwide. The aim of this ... -
Transcript and metabolic adjustments triggered by drought in Ilex paraguariensis leaves
(Springer, 2019-08)Ilex paraguariensis (yerba mate) is cultivated in the subtropical region of South America, where the occurrence of drought episodes limit yield. To explore the mechanisms that allow I. paraguariensis to overcome dehydration, ... -
Paenibacillus xylanivorans sp. nov., a xylan-degrading bacterium isolated from decaying forest soil
(Microbiology Society, 2019-12)A xylanolytic bacterial strain, named A59T, was isolated from a forest soil consortium in southern Argentina. Strain A59T is a Gram-stain-positive, facultative anaerobic, endospore-forming and rod-shaped bacterium. Its ... -
Fiebre manchada en Argentina. Descripción de dos casos clínicos = Spotted fever in Argentina. Description of two clinical cases
(Elsevier España, 2019-12)Las rickettsiosis son enfermedades zoonóticas transmitidas por artrópodos vectores, que en Argentina presentan 2 escenarios epidemiológicos diferenciados. Uno, en las yungas de Salta y Jujuy, involucra vectores pertenecientes ... -
Rv2617c and P36 are virulence factors of pathogenic mycobacteria involved in resistance to oxidative stress
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-12)In this study, we characterized the role of Rv2617c in the virulence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Rv2617c is a protein of unknown function unique to M. tuberculosis complex (MTC) and Mycobacterium leprae. In vitro, this ... -
Analysing nonsynonymous mutations between two Mycobacterium bovis strains with contrasting pathogenic profiles
(Elsevier, 2019-12)Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis, a chronic infectious disease that can affect cattle, other domesticated species, wild animals and humans. This disease produces important economic ... -
Symbionts do not affect the mating incompatibility between the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus cryptic species complex
(Springer Nature, 2019-12)The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is clearly undergoing a speciation process. Among others, two of their morphotypes, the Brazilian-1 and Peruvian, have accumulated differences in pre- and post-zygotic ... -
Highly efficient production of rabies virus glycoprotein G ectodomain in Sf9 insect cells
(Springer, 2019-11)In the present study, we developed a complete process to produce in insect cells a high amount of the ectodomain of rabies virus glycoprotein G (GE) as suitable antigen for detecting anti-rabies antibodies. Using the ... -
Ursolic acid : a novel antiviral compound inhibiting rotavirus infection in vitro
(Elsevier, 2019-11)Rotavirus is one of the leading causes of severe acute gastroenteritis in children under 5 years of age, mainly affecting developing countries. Once the disease is acquired, no specific treatment is available; as such, the ... -
Molecular identification of a cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase-producing microorganism and phylogenetic assessment of enzymatic activities
(Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2019-10)Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferases (CGTases) are important enzymes in the biotechnology field because they catalyze starch conversion into cyclodextrins and linear oligosaccharides, which are used in food, pharmaceutical ... -
The overexpression of antifungal genes enhances resistance to rhizoctonia solani in transgenic potato plants without affecting arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
(Elsevier, 2019-10)The biological control of fungal diseases through the use of genetically modified (GM) plants could decrease the input of chemical pesticides. To overcome possible losses in potato (Solanum tuberosum) yield because of ... -
