Abstract:
... The bacterial short pre-enrichment culture step is important for the proper detection and isolation of Salmonella spp. from pig feces. Using metagenomics, we showed that pre-enrichment of Salmonella was favored not only by inhibiting the growth of competing bacteria but also by increasing its fitness. ...

Abstract:
... Otters (Lutra lutra) mark territories by depositing feces on prominent spots, like rocks or large tussocks of grass. However, sometimes they defecate on intentionally mounded heaps made of mud and/or plant material. We show that in sites occupied by otters the frequency of heap-making significantly increases with the frequency of otters occurrence and is independent of the availability of naturall ...

Abstract:
... First-line recommendations for the management of functional constipation include nutritional-hygienic measures. We previously showed that a natural mineral water rich in sulphates and magnesium (Hépar) is efficient in the treatment of functional constipation. The aim of this study was to consolidate those first results and determine a precise time to respond to Hépar.This multicenter, randomized, ...

To investigate carbon (C) mineralization characteristics of compost made from pruning material (PM), C mineralization parameters were evaluated, including mineralizable C (C₀), apparent activation energy (Eₐ), and the rate constant of mineralization (k). These properties were also examined in conventional composts made from dung (D), fallen leaves (L), and bark (B). No significant differences amon ...

Abstract:
... Soil transmitted helminths (STH) infection is a major health problem in tropical countries such as Indonesia. Albendazole is an effective and widely used anthelmintic agent to treat STH; however, it is not effective towards T. trichiura and its effectiveness varies between populations. Hence, we conducted a study to determine the effectiveness of triple dose albendazole in children of Perobatang v ...

For surface-dwelling animals in these habitats, persistence is a trade-off between the advantages of relatively abundant food resources and the costs of episodic surface disturbances from infrequent but unpredictable rainfall events.2. In central Australia, there are few non-flying, terrestrial species that are specialised flood ...

The exposure route of pollutants influences their accumulation and distribution into tissues. A pulse-chase experiment was conducted in which mussels were exposed to Hg: adsorbed onto MPs and microalgae (MA) and dissolve ...

The single lynx species present in the Iberian Peninsula—Lynx pardinus (Temmink, 1827)—is one of the most threatened felines in the world so, any biological indication of its presence is significant. However, it is a very elusive species and physical evidence through direct visualization or camera trapping is difficult to obtain. Genetic noninvasive methods, in particular, molecular scatology, are ...

Once ingested MPs can be eliminated packed in fecal pellets, or they can be accumulated within tissues, and likely be transferred along the food web. The research on MPs is hampered by the difficulty on their quantification and the lack of s ...
