Environmental exposure to active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can have negative effects on the health of ecosystems and humans. While numerous studies monitored APIs in rivers, these employ different analytical methods, measure APIs, ignored many countries world. This makes it difficult quantify scale problem from a global perspective. Furthermore, comparison existing data, generated for studies/regions/continents, is challenging due vast differences between methodologies employed....
(1) Background: This study was aimed at identifying the Colletotrichum species associated with twig and shoot dieback of citrus, a new syndrome occurring in Mediterranean region also reported as emerging California. (2) Methods: Overall, 119 isolates were characterized. They recovered from symptomatic trees sweet orange, mandarin mandarin-like fruits during survey citrus groves Albania Sicily (southern Italy). (3) Results: The grouped into two distinct morphotypes. grouping supported by...
Abstract. We present elemental, lipid biomarker and, in the supplement, compound-specific isotope (δ13C, δ2H) data for soils and leaf litter collected catchment of Lake Ohrid (Albania, Macedonia), as well macrophytes, particulate organic matter sediments from lake itself. provides an outstanding archive continental environmental change at least 1.2 million years purpose our study is to ground truth geochemical proxies that we developed order past changes terrestrial biome. show dominate...
The level of production in a variety organic systems is often lower than other traditional systems. In poultry production, there also direct negative effect the small scale regarding sustainable production. Regardless differences between and conventional systems, this experiment aimed to investigate usage tea tree Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden Betche) Cheel essential oils as natural alternative antibiotics hen nutrition on productive parameters, table egg quality eggs fatty acid profile...
Abstract The fungal genus Alternaria is a relevant pathogen for several commodities including citrus and pomegranate fruits. On citrus, it mainly causes brown spots on fruits leaves, whereas pomegranate, mostly fruit heart rot. In the present study presence of rots cultivated in Albania was assessed. Representative were collected from different regions. Nineteen thirteen spp. isolates obtained samples, respectively. identified at species morphotype level. Micro macroscopic features separated...
Biological assessment metrics and water chemistry measurements are used to quantify the link between stressors their effects on lake ecosystems, for Water Framework Directive. However, correlations often poor. This is seen as major weaknesses of Directive-related monitoring assessment. We analyzed macrophytes, benthic algae, macroinvertebrates, sediment total phosphorus content in littoral six lakes Western Balkans CORINE land use data estimate nutrient enrichment via runoff from adjacent...
The Alternaria mycotoxins such as alternariol (AOH), monomethyl ether (AME), and tentoxin (TEN) are mycotoxins, which can contaminate cereal-based raw materials. Today, wheat is one of the most important crops in temperate zones, it increasing demand Western Balkans countries that urbanizing industrializing. This research aimed to investigate occurrence determine concentration AOH, AME, TEN samples from Republic Serbia Albania, harvested year 2020 period between 15 June July. A total 80...
The organic food is progressively enticing purchasers’ attention, as it recognized to be better than the produced by conventional agriculture and more sustainable for natural environment. Pesticides their metabolites can enter human body via water. In production, over 60 thousand chemical agents are applied, while 90% of harmful substances consumed. production based on qualitative healthy using resources in an ecologically way. European Regulations set maximum pesticide levels (MRLs)...
The Adriatic-Ionian region (ADRION Region) shows strong development in terms of urban expansion coastal and inland areas as well increasing maritime traffic offshore hydrocarbon extraction activities. A serious risk pollution arises from hazardous substances requiring reliable coherent monitoring assessment programmes. EU Directives (WFD - Water Framework Directive, MSFD Marine Strategy Directive) Barcelona Convention protocols, aim to assess the level with objective implement measures...
Olive trees (Olea europaea L.) are among the most important fruit tree crops grown in Albania, covering an estimated 8% of arable land this country. The highest amount olive production Albania is concentrated coastal districts Fier, Berat, Elbasan, Lezha, Tirana, Kruja and Vlora, all with Mediterranean climate conditions. Anthracnose main disease caused by different

Bunches post-harvest period year 2020 collected from a various locality Serbia Albania. In first phase, samples were characterized by presence color measurement methods. Gained results are conferred range properties grain toxins. Wheat significantly different (p <...
Forty samples representing 14 native Albanian and two foreign olive varieties were collected from an varietal collection plot in the Valias region (Tirana, Albania). The assayed by RT-PCR for presence of olive-infecting viruses, including arabis mosaic virus (ArMV), cherry leaf roll (CLRV), cucumber (CMV), latent ringspot (OLRSV), 1 (OLV-1), yellowing-associated (OLYaV), strawberry (SLRSV) PCR bacterium Xylella fastidiosa (Xf). Ninety-eight percent infected with at least one virus. OLYaV was...
