Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae pathogenic strains, like 7448, are the causative agents of porcine enzootic pneumonia. Non-pathogenic strains, like M. hyopneumoniae J, does not cause disease, although shares the entire repertoire of known virulence-related genes with M. hyopneumoniae 7448. In this context,...

Sphenophorus levis Vaurie, 1978 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). is a difficult to control pest in sugarcane that causes great damage to the subterranean part of the plant. Low insect control is the result of the pesticide application technology adopted but also a consequence of the lack of studi...
We collected protoescoleces (PSCs) from individual bovine cysts. Then we incubated 20 uL of PSCs in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum with 2.5 mM hydrogen peroxide (treated) or without hydrogen peroxide (Control) for 2 h at 37 °C. After that we collected PSCs by sedimentatios in 1...

Cystic hydatid disease (CHD) is a worldwide neglected zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The parasite is well adapted to its host by producing protective molecules that modulate host immune response. An unexplored issue associated with the parasite's persistence in its host is how t...
Nucleic acid vaccines have been proven to be a revolutionary technology to induce an efficient, safe and rapid response against pandemics, like the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Minicircle DNA (mcDNA) is an innovative vector more stable than messenger RNA and more efficient in cell transfection an...
The plants used in folk medicine have been increasingly studied to identify their bioactive properties. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the bioactivity of the hydroethanolic extracts of plants collected in Gardunha Mountain, Portugal. Seven abundant and representative wild plants were studied:...
The growing global threat posed by microorganisms resistant to conventional antimicrobials underscores the urgent need for novel agents to control infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and biocompatibility of alpha-silver tungstate (α-Ag2WO4
Mesocestoides corti (syn. vogae) is a useful model for developmental studies of platyhelminth parasites of the Cestoda class, such as Taenia spp. or Echinococcus spp. It has been used in studies to characterize cestode strobilation, i.e. the development of larvae into adult worms. So far, little is ...
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is fatal if left untreated. Infected dogs are important reservoirs of the disease, and thus specific identification of infected animals is very important. Several diagnostic tests have been developed for canine VL (CVL); however, these tests show varied specificity and se...

Background

Prader Willi (PWS) and Angelman (AS) syndromes are rare genetic disorders characterized by deletions, uniparental disomy, and imprinting defects at chromosome 15. The loss of function of specific genes caused by genetic alterations in paternal allele causes PWS while the absence i...
