      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 ...
