Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic represents an unprecedented global crisis necessitating novel approaches for, amongst others, early detection of emerging variants relating to the evolution and spread virus. Recently, SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater has emerged as a useful tool monitor prevalence virus community. Here, we propose methodology, called lineagespot , for monitoring mutations lineages samples using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Our proposed method was tested evaluated NGS data...
SARS-CoV-2 infection outbreaks in minks have serious implications associated with animal health and welfare, public health. In two naturally infected mink farms (A B) located Greece, we investigated the assessed parameters virus transmission, immunity, pathology, environmental contamination. Symptoms ranged from anorexia mild depression to respiratory signs of varying intensity. Although were at different breeding stages, mortality was similarly high (8.4% 10.0%). The viral strains belonged...
Despite growing interest in ancient wheat varieties, the functional and nutritional properties of einkorn (Triticum monococcum) cereal-based foods remain not fully elucidated. This study examined chemical composition wholegrain pasta through cooking simulated gastrointestinal digestion, comparing it with conventional Triticum durum pasta. While sharing similar macronutrient profiles, demonstrated higher retention key compounds including phenolics, tocopherols, phytosterols throughout vitro...
Abstract Self-sampling for human papillomavirus (HPV) testing is an alternative to physician sampling particularly cervical cancer screening nonattenders. The GRECOSELF study a nationwide observational cross-sectional aiming suggest way implement HPV-DNA in conjunction with self-sampling Greece, utilizing midwifery network. Women residing remote areas of Greece were approached by midwives, network, and provided self-collection kit (dry swab) cervicovaginal asked answer questionnaire about...
Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-DNA testing combined with self-sampling could increase cervical cancer screening effectiveness, utilizing a sensitive modality and an easy sampling method minimal pain or discomfort. Self-sampling acceptability, though, is pivotal. Materials Methods: This study nested cross-sectional survey within GRECOSELF, on HPV-based self-sampling, aiming at investigating acceptability among Greek women residing in rural areas, the factors affecting it. Women...
Fairness and ethical values in agro-food chain lay at the center of current debate on sustainability. The food labels may contain elements focused management fairness practices. objective present study is to explore what types companies value products they commercialize, if characteristics have a relationship with type valued. research collected 226 commercialized containing information practices adopted produce products. Data elaboration included cluster analysis identify groups fair...
Metabolic syndrome-related diseases affect millions of people worldwide. It is well established that changes in nutritional habits and lifestyle can improve or prevent metabolic-related pathologies such as type-2 diabetes obesity. Previous reports have shown supplements the capacity to limit glucose intolerance suppress development. In this study, we investigated effect dietary supplementation with fish-derived extracts on obesity type 2 their impact gut microbial composition. We showed...
Mutations resulting in amino-acid substitutions of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) have been associated with enhanced transmissibility and immune escape respective variants, namely Alpha, Beta, Gamma or Delta. Rapid identification aforementioned variants concern their discrimination other is thus importance for public health interventions. For this reason, a one-step real-time RT-PCR assay employing four locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified TaqMan probes was...
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a valuable horticultural crop with nutritional benefits grown worldwide. It almost exclusively cultivated as grafted scions onto interspecific squash rootstock (Cucurbita maxima × Cucurbita moschata) to improve the growth and yield address problems of soilborne diseases abiotic stress factors. This study aimed examine effect grafting (homo- hetero-grafting) on transcriptome level seedlings. Therefore, we compared homo-grafted watermelon (WW) non-grafted...

Recently, RNA in wastewater has emerged as a useful tool monitor prevalence virus community. Here, we propose methodology, called lineagespot , for lineages samples using next-generation sequencing. Our proposed method was tested evaluated NGS data produced by sequencing three from...
Going through an era where sustainability and definitions of fairness have been extended integrated into the agri-food chain, there is a need to understand, on multi-dimensional multinational level, structure value chain revenues consumers’ intentions regarding necessity foods. The study analyzed 1,020 questionnaires from Algeria, Germany, Greece, Italy, Tunisia revealing that taste prioritizes brand packaging. Social networks, including family friends, significantly influence purchase fair...
Abstract The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 mutations resulting in the S protein amino-acid substitutions N501Y and E484K, which have been associated with enhanced transmissibility immune escape, respectively, necessitates immediate actions, for their rapid identification is crucial. For simultaneous typing both these concern (MOCs), a one-step real-time RT-PCR assay employing four locked nucleic acid (LNA) modified TaqMan probes was developed. highly sensitive LOD 117 copies/reaction,...

Seed coat hardness and water permeability, which are determined by the accumulation of tannins through phenylpropanoid pathway in seed, important lentil quality characteristics. The impact seeds’ developmental stage phosphorus (P) fertilization levels on tannin is still under research. Through RNA sequencing, this study explored effect three P treatments (P0, 6 mg kg−1; P1, 15 P2, 21 kg−1) seed maturity stages (S1, immature 2 mm a flat pod; S2, fully developed within S3, mature at beginning...
