Using pedigree analysis to monitor the local Piau pig breed conservation program [PDF]

Archivos de Zootecnia, 2014
The local Brazilian pig breed Piau is a lard-type pig that has undergone a breeding and selection process devised by the veterinarian Antonio Teixeira Vianna in 1939. The objective of the program was to develop a dual purpose animal, that is an animal suitable for the production of both fat and meat.

DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

Effects of Elevated CO2 on Bean Pod Mottle Virus Infection in Both Incompatible and Compatible Interactions With Phaseolus vulgaris L

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4493-4512, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plant viruses cause significant crop losses, a situation that could worsen due to anthropogenic activities driving global climate change, one factor of which is the increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration. This study assessed the impact of elevated CO2 concentration (eCO2, 1000 vs. 400 ppm) on two genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris

Recent advances in the construction of humanized animal models and applications in translational medicine

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 914-931, May 2026.
Substantial advances have been achieved in the development of humanized mouse models, which have proven highly valuable in evaluating cancer immunotherapies and elucidating the mechanisms of infectious diseases. There is now a growing shift in research toward larger animal models—such as pigs—that offer greater physiological similarity to humans ...

Evaluation of the Effects of 50 Hz Magnetic Field Exposure on the Human Hematopoietic System in Humanized Mice

Bioelectromagnetics, Volume 47, Issue 4, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence from experimental animal studies is essential for clarifying the causal relationship between exposure to power‐frequency magnetic fields (MFs) and childhood leukemia. In this study, we developed a 50 Hz MF exposure system for experimental animals.
