Blood-feeding adaptations and virome assessment of the poultry red mite Dermanyssus gallinae guided by RNA-seq
(Springer Nature, 2023-05-13)Dermanyssus gallinae is a blood-feeding mite that parasitises wild birds and farmed poultry. Its remarkably swift processing of blood, together with the capacity to blood-feed during most developmental stages, makes this ... -
Two novel flavi-like viruses shed light on the plant-infecting koshoviruses
(Springer, 2023-06-20)The family Flaviviridae is composed of viruses with a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome and includes viruses that are important veterinary and human pathogens. Most members of the family are arthropod- and ... -
El Paisaje Actual de Publicaciones Académicas: una Visión Emergente desde el Sur Global
(Departamento de Química Biológica, Facultad de Ciencias Exactas y Naturales, Universidad de Buenos Aires, 2023-04)Una gran parte del sistema de publicaciones académicas tradicional es desigual, poco confiable, excluyente, discriminatorio, sesgado, depredador, insostenible y opaco [1]. Aproximadamente el 70 % de los artículos de ... -
Expanding the Repertoire of the Plant-Infecting Ophioviruses through Metatranscriptomics Data
(MDPI, 2023-03-25)Ophioviruses (genus Ophiovirus, family Aspiviridae) are plant-infecting viruses with non-enveloped, filamentous, naked nucleocapsid virions. Members of the genus Ophiovirus have a segmented single-stranded negative-sense ... -
