      Background: To enhance and extend the knowledge about the global historical and phylogenetic relationships between Merino and Merino-derived breeds, 19 populations were genotyped with the OvineSNP50 BeadChip specifically ...
    • Embryogenesis and apoptosis appears as key molecular pathways involved in Varroa destructor reproduction 

      Muntaabski, Irina; Latorre Estivalis, Jose M.; Russo, Romina Maria; Landi, Lucas; Agra, Marcelo Nicolás; Liendo, María Clara; Lanzavecchia, Silvia Beatriz; Scannapieco, Alejandra Carla (Springer, 2023-10)
      In this study, we identified candidate genes associated with the reproductive success of Varroa destructor in Apis mellifera brood cells at a key point in time, the 4th day after host cell capping. First-life cycle reproducing ...
    • Genetic resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in sheep 

      Poli, Mario Andres; Donzelli, María Valeria; Caffaro, María Eugenia; Raschia, Maria Agustina; Papaleo Mazzucco, Juliana; Rossi, Ursula Amaranta (CAB International, 2023-06)
      Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) infection is the most common disease affecting sheep production systems throughout the world, causing significant productive and economic losses. The control of these parasites was traditionally ...
    • Identification of candidate genes associated with host-seeking behavior in the parasitoid wasp Diachasmimorpha longicaudata 

      Wulff, Juan Pedro; Traverso, Lucila M.; Latorre Estivalis, Jose M.; Segura, Diego Fernando; Lanzavecchia, Silvia Beatriz (BioMed Central, 2024-02)
      Background: Diachasmimorpha longicaudata is a hymenopteran fruit fly endoparasitoid. Females of this species find their hosts for oviposition by using complex sensorial mechanisms in response to physical and chemical stimuli ...
    • Single nucleotide polymorphisms from candidate genes associated with nematode resistance and resilience in Corriedale and Pampinta sheep in Argentina 

      Raschia, Maria Agustina; Donzelli, María Valeria; Medus, Pablo Daniel; Cetra, Bibiana Maria; Maizon, Daniel Omar; Suarez, Victor Humberto; Pichler, Rudolf; Periasamy, Kathiravan; Poli, Mario Andres (Elsevier, 2021-02)
      Selective breeding of genetically resistant animals is considered a promising strategy to face the problem of nematode resistance to anthelmintics and mitigate concerns about the presence of chemical residues in animal ...
    • Single nucleotide polymorphisms in candidate genes associated with milk yield in Argentinean Holstein and Holstein x Jersey cows 

      Raschia, Maria Agustina; Nani, Juan Pablo; Maizon, Daniel Omar; Beribe, Maria Jose; Amadio, Ariel; Poli, Mario Andres (2018-12)
      Research on loci influencing milk production traits of dairy cattle is one of the main topics of investigation in livestock. Many genomic regions and polymorphisms associated with dairy production have been reported ...
