Chlorophyll b—An Essence of Plant Photosynthesis

open access: yesPlants
Chlorophyll (Chl) b is crucial for assembly of the light-harvesting antennae that are required for optimal photosynthetic activity in plants and green algae. Synthesis of its precursor, chlorophyllide (Chlide) b, is catalyzed by Chlide a oxygenase (CAO),

Signals of Pig Ancestry in Wild Boar, Sus scrofa, from Eastern Austria: Current Hybridisation or Incomplete Gene Pool Differentiation and Historical Introgressions?

open access: yesDiversity, 2023
In wild boar, Sus scrofa, from Europe, domestic pig-typical ancestry is traced at varying levels. We hypothesised wild boar with pig-typical gene pool characteristics, i.e., “introgression”, congregate more in peri-urban habitats, because of less shyness

Risk of transmission of foot-and-mouth disease by wild animals: infection dynamics in Japanese wild boar following direct inoculation or contact exposure

open access: yesVeterinary Research, 2022
Understanding of disease dynamics and viral shedding in wild boar and of the potential for disease spreading within wild boar and domestic pig populations is critical for developing effective control and eradication measures for foot-and-mouth disease ...

Potential effect of managing connectivity to contain disease spread among free‐ranging wild boar (Sus scrofa) in disparate landscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
1. Landscape connectivity is a major factor shaping the spread of pathogens in wildlife populations. By managing connectivity, transmission pathways can be broken and disease spread be contained, particularly in the early phases of an outbreak.

DNA Detection Reveals Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex Shedding Routes in Its Wildlife Reservoir the Eurasian Wild Boar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Since the intensity and frequency of pathogen shedding by hosts determine the probability of infection through direct and indirect contact, the shedding characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) in the key host reservoir in Iberia, the
