Abstract A recent outbreak of anthrax disease, severely affecting reindeer herds in Siberia, has been reportedly associated to the presence infected carcasses or spores released from active layer over permafrost, which is thawing and thickening at increasing rates, thus underlying re-emerging nature this pathogen Arctic region because warming temperatures. Anthrax a global zoonotic epizootic with high case-fatality ratio animals. Its transmission mediated by environmental contamination...
Abstract Flow regimes profoundly influence river organisms and ecosystem functions, but regulatory approaches often lack the scientific basis to support sustainable water allocation. In part, this reflects challenge of understanding ecological effects flow variability over different temporal spatial domains. Here, we use a process‐based distributed hydrological model simulate 23 years natural regime in 100 bioassessment sites across Adige River network (NE Italy), identify typical...
Alpine glaciers are shrinking at a relentless pace, as an effect of global warming. The impact these changes in the European Alps is relevant, given importance this territory from both ecological and economic viewpoints. While ubiquitous reduction glaciers' mass through has been reported several studies, its on streamflow less studied. In present work, we analyzed long time series, available since 1976, Careser Stream, headwater stream emerging Glacier, northeastern Italy. A large amount...
In this study a comprehensive genotoxicological survey throughout the upper and middle stretches of Adige river basin is presented. The was carried out at 7 sites located along main course one most significant tributaries, Noce creek, both presenting different levels pollution pressure. To give an insight into nature genotoxic activity we employed battery prokaryotic eukaryotic assays. Mutagenicity in water samples evaluated by SOS/umuC test Salmonella typhimurium TA1535/pSK1002. level DNA...
The rapid development of intensive fish farming has been associated with the spreading infectious diseases, pathogens and parasites. One such parasite is Sparicotyle chrysophrii (Platyhelminthes: Monogenea), which commonly infects cultured gilthead seabream ( Sparus aurata )—a vital species in Mediterranean aquaculture. attaches to gills can cause epizootics sea cages relevant consequences for health economic losses farmers. In this study, a novel stratified compartmental epidemiological...
Abstract In this study, the combined effects of hydrological and chemical stressors on benthic macroinvertebrates were evaluated in order to explore response biological community multiple stressors. The Adige River, located south‐eastern Alps, was selected as a case study because representative situation large river which variety present Alpine region act simultaneously. As expected, streamflow showed seasonal pattern, with high flows spring–summer period; however, locally, natural regime...
Recent studies have raised concerns about the potential reemergence of infectious diseases in Arctic regions associated with warming temperatures. Among these, particular attention has been devoted to anthrax, as a consequence outbreak that occurred Russian Yamalo-Nenets peninsula 2016. Understanding how environmental change might influence diffusion this pathogen could allow informed decisions prevent further zoonotic or epidemic episodes. To end, present study aims identify and investigate...
<b><sc>Abstract.</sc></b> The development of intensive fish production is facing the challenge sustainable management effluents. Aquaculture reproductive sectors (i.e., hatcheries) in most cases implement water recirculation systems (RAS), which discharge a portion produced wastewater. Anaerobic digestion (AD) process could mitigate environmental impact this waste stream while producing fuel form biogas. present research represents further previous tests conducted framework AdriaAquaNet...
Several studies have been showing that major environmental changes will occur in mountainous regions, with dramatic effects glacierized areas. In particular, the Alps are experiencing a sharper rising air temperature, compared to other regions. The European water towers providing fresh highly populated areas fragile environment ecosystems and human activities adapted low flow storage winter followed by high summer. This dynamic is phase agricultural use touristic needs while hydropower makes...
