Soil regeneration depends on microbial processes driving nutrient cycling and organic matter retention. Ramial chipped wood (RCW), a carbon-rich organic amendment, stimulates microbial activity and may promote shortterm ...
Steryl esters (SE) are a storage pool of sterols that accumulates in cytoplasmic lipid droplets and helps to maintaining plasma membrane sterol homeostasis throughout plant growth and development. Ester formation of plant ...
Phlebotomus perniciosus</em> is the primary vector of <em>Leishmania infantum</em> in Spain, occurring in both continental and insular regions. This study investigates the genetic structure of <em>P. perniciosus</em> ...
Greening cities is a nature-based strategy for sustainable urban development that integrates natural elements</p><p>like plants or water bodies, to mitigate climate change impacts and enhance human well-being. However, ...
Canine leishmaniasis (CanL) is a widespread disease present in 42 countries. It is considered of epidemiological importance because of its role as a reservoir of human leishmaniasis. Knowledge of the real distribution of ...
A molecular survey of wild mammals was performed to assess their potential as reservoirs of L. infantum. A total of 156 specimens of wild mammalian fauna were obtained for analysis from areas in Catalonia with a reported ...
The diagnosis of Chagas disease mostly relies on the use of multiple serologic tests that are often unavailable in many of the remote settings where the disease is highly prevalent. In the Teniente Irala Fernández Municipality, ...
Emerging infectious diseases are one of the main threats to global amphibian populations. Frogs and salamanders are already affected by various pathogens, including ranaviruses, <em>Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis</em>, ...
Background The pea root rot complex is caused by various soil-borne pathogens that likely reinforce each other, influencing the composition of the root microbiome and leading to significant yield reductions. Previous studies ...
Background: Plants are constantly challenged by pathogens, which can cause substantial yield losses. The aggressiveness of and damage by pathogens depends on the host-associated microbiome, which might be shaped by plant ...
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) groups different cardiac diseases whose development is associated with inflammation. Here we have analyzed the levels of inflammatory cytokines and of members of the TLR/IRAK pathway including ...
Cannabis is one of the most versatile genera in terms of plant uses and has been exploited by humans for millennia due to its medicinal properties, strong fibres, nutritious seeds and psychoactive resin. Nowadays, Cannabis ...
[spa] Se presentan los mapas de distribución en la Península Ibérica y las Islas Baleares del género Sebdenia (J. Agardh) Berthold, representado en nuestras costas por dos especies: S. dichotoma Berthold y S. rodriguezia ...
Eight alkaloids have been identified from fresh leaves of Crinum erubescens (Amaryllidaceae) collected in Costa Rica. The alkaloid 1-epidemethylbowdensine, detected by means of GC-MS as part of a global Amaryllidaceae ...
Polyamines are involved in defense against pathogenic microorganisms in plants. However, the role of the polyamine putrescine (Put) during plant defense has remained elusive. In this work, we studied the implication of ...
Background: Feline leishmaniosis is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by Leishmania spp. Leishmania infection in dogs is prevalent in the Mediterranean basin, but in other animals, such as cats, it could also play a ...
It is currently possible to transfer a biosynthetic pathway from a plant to another organism. This system has been exploited to transfer the metabolic richness of certain plant species to other plants or even to more simple ...
An underground aqueduct is usually a canal built in the subsurface to transfer water froma starting point to a distant location. Systems of underground aqueducts have been applied byancient civilizations to manage different ...
Dengue is one of the most significant infectious diseases caused by an arbovirus worldwide. The etiologic agent is the dengue virus and it is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti, or yellow fever mosquito. ...
Living organisms constantly interact with their habitats, selectively taking up compounds from their surroundings to meet their particular needs but also excreting metabolic products and thus modifying their environment. ...
