Challenges and opportunities of genetic improvement in alpacas and llamas in Peru by Gutierrez, G., Gutierrez, J.P., Huanca Mamani, Teodosio, Wurzinger, M.

“…Since 1997 the Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture manages a genealogy registry for alpacas and llamas, but so far the up-take rate by farmers and inscription rate of animals is low. The national research organisation INIA (Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agaria) runs an ex-situ in-vivo conservation program for coloured alpacas (21 different colours) and llamas. …”

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 antigens produced in transgenic lettuce effective as an oral vaccine in mice by Su, Yun‑Lin, Larzabal, Mariano, Song, Huan, Cheng, Tianfang, Wang, Yufang, Smith, Libia Yael, Cataldi, Angel Adrian, Ow, David W.

“…Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157:H7 is a food-borne pathogen where ruminant farm animals, mainly bovine, serve as reservoirs. Bovine vaccination has been used to prevent disease outbreaks, and the current method relies on vaccines subcutaneously injected three times per year. …”

Double antigen sandwich ELISA for detection of antibodies against Babesia bovis by Primo, María Evangelina, Valentini, Beatriz Susana, Mazzucco Panizza, Matilde Nahimé, Morel, Nicolas, Thompson, Carolina Soledad

“…The area under the curve (AUC) was assessed to be 0.979, which corresponds to an excellent ability of the assay to discriminate truly infected from truly uninfected animals. Concordance among dasELISA and iELISA was 78.6 %, with a κ value of 0.567 (95 % CI = 0.537–0.598); meanwhile, 57 % and 43 % of the IFAT results agreed with dasELISA and iELISA, respectively. …”

Catchment influences on mercury methylation in a peatland chronosequence by Hagblom, Robin

“…Since the beginning of industrialization, emissions of mercury (Hg) from human activities in excess of natural levels have increased depo-sition rates to ecosystems, storage in soils and loading to aquatic envi-ronments. Toxicity to animals, subject to this accumulation, as well as to humans consuming them, are the major concerns driving research on this subject. …”

Host risk factors in relation to the occurrence of Japanese encephalitis virus in pigs and dogs in northern Vietnam by Gustafsson, Linnéa
