Transferability of microsatellite markers located in candidate genes for wood properties between Eucalyptus species
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (España), 2014)AIM OF STUDY: To analyze the feasibility of extrapolating conclusions on wood quality genetic control between different Eucalyptus species, particularly from species with better genomic information, to those less characterized. ... -
Transgenic citrange troyer rootstocks overexpressing antimicrobial potato snakin-1 show reduced citrus canker disease symptoms
(Elsevier, 2020-12)Citrus canker is a major disease caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. citri. Snakin-1 is an antimicrobial peptide, which was previously shown to be effective against different bacterial and fungal diseases in potato, wheat and ... -
Transgenic expression of tobacco mosaic virus capsid and movement proteins modulate plant basal defense and biotic stress responses in Nicotiana tabacum
(2012)Plant viruses cause metabolic and physiological changes associated with symptomatic disease phenotypes. Symptoms involve direct and indirect effects, which result in disruption of host physiology. We used transgenic ... -
Transient expression of VP2 in Nicotiana benthamiana and its use as a plant-based vaccine against Infectious Bursal Disease Virus
(Elsevier, 2013-05-28)Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV) is the etiological agent of an immunosuppressive and highly contagious disease that affects young birds. This disease causes important economic losses in the poultry industry worldwide. ... -
Transovarial transmission of anaplasma marginale in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks results in a bottleneck for strain diversity
(MDPI, 2023-08)Anaplasma marginale is an obligate intraerythrocytic bacterium of bovines, responsible for large economic losses worldwide. It is mainly transmitted by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks and, despite mounting evidence ... -
Tuberculosis in swine co-infected with Mycobacterium avium subsp. hominissuis and Mycobacterium bovis in a cluster from Argentina
(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 ... -
Tuberculosis vaccine candidates based on mycobacterial cell envelope components
(Elsevier, 2019-03)Even after decades searching for a new and more effective vaccine against tuberculosis, the scientific community is still pursuing this goal due to the complexity of its causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). ... -
Two distinctive phenotypes of AcMNPV display different immune abilities and intracellular destiny
(2016-12-29)The budded phenotype (BV) of the baculovirus AcMNPV has been demonstrated to have strong immunostimulatory properties that are relevant for the development of vaccines and antiviral therapies. Although the occluded ... -
Type VI secretion system in pathogenic escherichia coli: structure, role in virulence, and acquisition
(Frontiers Media, 2019-08)Bacterial pathogens utilize a myriad of mechanisms to invade mammalian hosts, damage tissue sites, and evade the immune system. One essential strategy of Gram-negative bacteria is the secretion of virulence factors through ... -
Understanding the relationship between Mycobacterium bovis spoligotypes from cattle in Latin American Countries
(Elsevier, 2013-02)Spoligotyping is the most frequently used method for genotyping isolates of Mycobacterium bovis worldwide. In the current work, we compared spoligotypes from 1684 M. bovis isolates from Argentina (816), Brazil (412), Chile ... -
Unveiling the genetic basis of Sclerotinia head rot resistance in sunflower
(BMC, 2020-07)Background: Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic fungus that causes Sclerotinia head rot (SHR) in sunflower, with epidemics leading to severe yield losses. In this work, we present an association mapping (AM) approach ... -
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 ... -
Use of molecular tools for the diagnosis of rangeliosis by Rangelia vitalii in Argentina: A case report
(Elsevier, 2020-07)Vector-borne pathogens are responsible for serious emerging diseases and Rangelia vitalii, the etiologic agent of canine rangeliosis, is one of the most pathogenic tick-borne pathogens for dogs in South America. This ... -
Use of touch-down polymerase chain reaction to enhance the sensitivity of Mycobacterium bovis detection
(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 ... -
Utilization of molecular and conventional methods for the identification of nontuberculous mycobacteria isolated from different water sources
(Wolters Kluwer - Medknow, 2018-03)Background: The environment is the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) reservoir, opportunistic pathogens of great diversity and ubiquity, which is observed in the constant description of new species capable of causing ... -
Validation of reference genes for quantitative PCR in Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense L.) under glyphosate stress
(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. ... -
