Genetic diversity and conservation status of managed vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) populations in Argentina

open access: yesGenetica, 2016
The vicuña (Vicugna vicugna) was indiscriminately hunted for more than 400 years and, by the end of 1960s, it was seriously endangered. At that time, a captive breeding program was initiated in Argentina by the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) with the aim of preserving the species.

Taming interleukin‐12: Engineering of bispecific antibody‐based IL‐12 mimetics with biased agonism capacities

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract In this work, we have generated bispecific interleukin (IL)‐12 surrogate agonists based on camelid‐derived single‐domain antibodies (sdAbs) targeting the IL‐12 receptor (IL‐12R) subunits IL‐12Rβ1 and IL‐12Rβ2. Following immunization and antibody display‐based paratope isolation, respective sdAbs were combinatorially reformatted into a ...

Capturing and radio ear‐tagging neonatal vicuñas

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
We used and evaluated the effectiveness of a hand‐capture technique to capture and mark neonatal vicuñas (Vicugna vicugna) at San Guillermo National Park, west‐central Argentina. We captured and marked 98 neonates during 5–31 January, 2008–2010.

Exploring the importance of predicted camel NRAP exon 4 for environmental adaptation using a mouse model

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Camels possess exceptional adaptability, allowing them to withstand extreme temperatures in desert environments. They conserve water by reducing their metabolic rate and regulating body temperature. The heart of the camel plays a crucial role in this adaptation, with specific genes expressed in cardiac tissue that are essential for mammalian ...

Systematic review of the impact of restrictive wildlife trade measures on conservation of iconic species in southern Africa

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Trade restrictions are often advocated and implemented as measures to protect wild species threatened by overexploitation. However, in some instances, their efficacy has been questioned, notably by governments in the southern African (SADC) region, which tend to favor a sustainable use approach to wildlife management. We conducted a systematic
