The global emergence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains Salmonella and Campylobacter is a serious public health concern. Both bacteria are leading causes human gastrointestinal foodborne infections the two most reported zoonoses in European Union. By feeding on livestock carcasses, especially from intensive farming, as well landfill sites, obligate avian scavengers can become infected with zoonotic pathogens AMR strains, be considered large-scale sentinels environmental burden. In this...
Abstract Background Anthropogenic disturbance has the potential to negatively affect wildlife health by altering food availability and diet composition, increasing exposure agrochemicals, intensifying contact with humans, domestic animals, their pathogens. However, impact of these factors on fecal microbiome composition hosts its link host modulation remains barely explored. Here we investigated bacterial insectivorous bat Kuhl’s pipistrelle ( Pipistrellus kuhlii ) dwelling in four...
Digital addressing of the electrical signal in spatial light modulators, as it is case present liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) displays, may lead to temporal phase fluctuations optical beam.In diffractive optics applications a reduction modulation diffraction efficiency be expected.Experimental work done characterizing amplitude and depth for three different digital sequences.We propose model evaluate elements (DOEs) presence fluctuations.Best results are obtained most stable sequence even...
Abstract We conducted a serosurvey for Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus antibodies in various wildlife species Catalonia, northeastern Spain. detected high seroprevalence southern close to the Ebro Delta wetland, key stopover birds migrating from Africa. Our findings could indicate that competent vectors are present region.
Long-term mark-recapture studies are essential for bat conservation. Over the last decades, millions of bats across Europe and America have been marked with forearm rings this purpose. Although it is considered a cost-effective method compared to Passive Integrated Transponders (PIT) tags, direct injuries from using reported since their very first use. Yet, impact on bats' welfare has not systematically evaluated remains highly controversial issue among scientific community policymakers....
In this paper, the characterization and optimization of a parallel aligned (PA) liquid crystal on silicon display (LCoS) has been conducted with aim to apply it generation microlenses array in Shack-Hartmann (SH) sensor. The entire sensor setup experimentally implemented from scratch. Results obtained for several aberrated wavefront measurements show suitability these devices particular application. Due well-known dynamic properties LCoS, allow an easy choice parameters SH sensor, i.e....
The diffractive efficiency of Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) displays can be greatly diminished by the appearance temporal phase fluctuations in reflected beam, depolarization effects and also because modulation depths smaller than 2π. In order to maximize Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) implemented LCoS device, Minimum Euclidean Distance principle applied. However, not all elements corrected same way due anamorphic frequency dependent phenomenon, which is related response, largely...
Adiaspiromycosis is a nontransmissible infectious pulmonary disease caused by the inhalation of propagules from fungal species belonging to family Ajellomicetaceae, especially Emergomyces crescens. E. crescens has been recorded in broad number worldwide, with small burrowing mammals being considered main hosts for this environmental pathogen. Only handful studies on adiaspiromycosis European wildlife published date. We assessed occurrence wild rodents (Murinae and Arvicolinae) central...
Abstract The excessive use of antibiotics has led to the emergence resistant bacteria, mainly from Enterobacterales group, with high pathogenic/zoonotic potentials that can lead problems in public health. increasing presence freshwater ecosystems highlights need evaluate potential sentinel species as risk indicators for both ecosystem and human mussels provide several services, may represent due their ability filter water retain organic inorganic particles. We tested capability U. mancus...
In this paper, we describe the Mueller-Jones combined method which is useful to optimize LCoS displays phase response. This method, by means of experimentally obtained Mueller matrices device, enables obtain pairs states polarization (for generation and for detection states), lead phase-only modulation regime. Moreover, some experimental results are provided as a function incident angle, wavelength gray level. addition, also show strong dependence performance with signal addressed affects...
Toxoplasma gondii infection in healthy animals is often asymptomatic. However, some species with little history of contact the parasite, such as marsupials and New World primates, present high mortality rates after infection. Despite its potential conservation concern, T. insectivorous bats has received attention, impact on bat populations' health unknown. To assess putative role cycle gondii, samples three (Pipistrellus pipistrellus, P. pygmaeus kuhlii) collected between 2019 2021 NE Spain...
Akodon mollis (Rodentia, Cricetidae) has a large subterminal Y chromosome measuring 5.24 percent of the haploid set. The long arm pattern homology with short X, as indicated by similar distribution G bands and formation chiasma in diakinesis metaphase I teste cells. Conversely, X are nonhomologous do not pair at meiosis.
