The spatial ecology of free-ranging domestic pigs (Sus scrofa) in western Kenya [PDF]

, 2013
Background In many parts of the developing world, pigs are kept under low-input systems where they roam freely to scavenge food. These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments.

The Release of Non‐Native Gamebirds Is Associated With Amplified Zoonotic Disease Risk

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 4, April 2025.
Spillback is potentially an important mechanism by which non‐natives contribute to zoonotic disease emergence. We capitalise on quasi‐experimental releases of non‐native pheasants (Phasianus colchicus) to compare native pathogen prevalence between sites with similar local conditions but different non‐native densities. Prevalence of Borrelia sp.

Pollen13K: A Large Scale Microscope Pollen Grain Image Dataset [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Pollen grain classification has a remarkable role in many fields from medicine to biology and agronomy. Indeed, automatic pollen grain classification is an important task for all related applications and areas. This work presents the first large-scale pollen grain image dataset, including more than 13 thousands objects.

The effect of a diet with fructan-rich chicory roots on intestinal helminths and microbiota with special focus on Bifidobacteria and Campylobacter in piglets around weaning [PDF]

, 2010
The restrictions on the use of antibiotic and anthelmintic treatments in organic pig farming necessitate alternative non-medical control strategies.

Neuroimmune Pain and Its Manipulation by Pathogens

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 18, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Recent studies highlight extensive crosstalk that exists between sensory neurons responsible for pain and the immune system. Cutaneous pain neurons detect harmful microbes, recruit immune cells, and produce anticipatory immunity in nearby tissues. These complementary systems generally protect hosts from infections.

microRNAs of parasitic helminths – identification, characterization and potential as drug targets [PDF]

, 2014
microRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional gene regulation. They were first identified in the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, where the miRNAs lin-4 and let-7 were shown to be essential for regulating ...

The Role of Innate Immunity in Healthy Aging Through Antimicrobial Peptides

Immunology, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 375-383, April 2025.
This study investigates the role of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in innate immune responses, focusing on their function in pathogen defence and aging regulation. The research reveals a conserved mechanism across species, from invertebrates to humans, highlighting AMPs' potential in addressing age‐related challenges. These findings open new avenues for

Evaluation of a fluidised catalytic cracking co‐processing method for the production of renewable fuels using Category 3 animal fat and used cooking oils

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract An alternative processing method for the production of renewable fuels from rendered animal fats, pretreated using standard processing methods 1–5 or method 7 and used cooking oils, derived from Category 3 animal by‐products, was assessed. The alternative method is based on a fluidised catalytic cracking co‐processing treatment with a preheat ...
