The Luciferase Immunoprecipitation System (LIPS) Targeting the Spike Protein of SARS-CoV-2 Is More Accurate than Nucleoprotein-Based LIPS and ELISAs for Mink Serology. [PDF]
Since anthropo‐zoonotic outbreaks of SARS‐CoV‐2 have been reported in mink farms, it is important to monitor the seroprevalence within this population. To investigate the accuracy of nucleo (N) or spike (S) protein‐based assays to detect anti‐SARS‐CoV‐2 antibodies in animal serum, we compared four assays, two commercial N‐based enzyme‐linked ...

Long-term persistence of neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in pets. [PDF]
Abstract We monitored the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antibody response in seven dogs and two cats by using two multispecies ELISA tests, plaque reduction neutralisation test and virus neutralization. SARS‐CoV‐2 neutralizing antibodies in pets persisted up to 10 months since the first positive testing, thus replicating observations ...

Observer-oriented approach improves species distribution models from citizen science data. [PDF]
We examined the advantages of using data available on Citizen science open‐access platforms through an observer‐oriented approach (i.e., considering occurrences of species other than the target species collected by the observers of the target species as pseudo‐absences and additional predictors relative to the total number of observations, observers ...

Problems caused by arthropod pests to livestock production are increasing due to new legal restrictions on pesticide use, insurgence of resistance to insecticides in pest populations and climate change. RNA interference (RNAi) is a novel approach to pest control based on specific gene silencing in target species, characterised by a selective action ...

ENphylo: A new method to model the distribution of extremely rare species
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are a useful mean to understand how environmental variation influences species geographical distribution. SDMs are implemented by several different algorithms. Unfortunately, these algorithms consistently lose accuracy exactly when they are needed the most, that is with rare species, originating the so‐called

Evolution of sinusal and non-sinusal spleens of Mammals
<strong>Abstract</strong> Mammals present different types of spleen. In the past, attempts have been made to define characteristics for a classification of this organ, but the evolutionary process that has led to the splenic types of ...

L'alimentazione della martora in un ambiente insulare mediterraneo
Nel Mediterraneo i carnivori sono stati raramente oggetto di studi di carattere ecologico, pur essendo diffusi su numerose isole. Inoltre i pochi lavori attualmente disponibili, in particolare quelli relativi alle loro abitudini alimentari, si basano su ...

Mammal endemism In Italy: A review [PDF]
Although there are various checklists of Italian mammals, there is not yet a synthesis of those mammals that are endemic to Italy. Therefore, we provide for the first time a detailed review on Italian mammal endemic species including endemic taxa ...
