Genetics and genomics of disease resistance in salmonid species
(Frontiers Media, 2014)
Infectious and parasitic diseases generate large economic losses in salmon farming. A feasible and sustainable alternative to prevent disease outbreaks may be represented by genetic improvement for disease resistance. To ...
Adaptability and stability of corn inbred lines regarding resistance to gray leaf spot and northern leaf blight
(Brazilian Soc Plant Breeding, 2018-04-01)
The objectives of this study were to identify resistant and susceptible corn inbred lines based on their stability and adaptability for resistance to disease symptoms of gray leaf spot and northern leaf blight, suggest ...
Evolving resistance among Gram-positive pathogens.
(The Author 2015. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2015)
Antimicrobial therapy is a key component of modern medical practice and a cornerstone for the development of complex clinical interventions in critically ill patients. Unfortunately, the increasing problem of antimicrobial ...
Insecticide resistance in vector Chagas disease: Evolution, mechanisms and management
(Elsevier Science, 2015-09)
Chagas disease is a chronic parasitic infection restricted to America. The disease is caused by the protozoa Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to human through the feces of infected triatomine insects. Because no ...
Selecting for rust (Puccinia psidii) resistance in Eucalyptus grandis in São Paulo State, Brazil
(2013-09-01)
In Brazil, Eucalyptus grandis is a key species for wood production. However, some genotypes are susceptible to rust (Puccinia psidii), mainly in São Paulo State, where climatic conditions are favorable for its development. ...
Genetic factors involved in resistance to infectious diseases in salmonids and their application in breeding programmes Factores genéticos que inciden en la resistencia a enfermedades infecciosas en salmónidos y su aplicación en programas de mejoramiento
(2010)
The control of infectious diseases is essential in the success of salmon aquaculture. Genetic improvement of disease resistance may provide a feasible and sustainable option for the management of these diseases. Marker-assisted ...

(2013-04-01)
Aim: The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of resistance training in activities of daily living performance in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. Methods: An exploratory and longitudinal study, lasting ...
Multi-environment multi-QTL association mapping identifies disease resistance QTL in barley germplasm from Latin America
(Springer Verlag, 2014)
Abstract: Diseases represent a major constraint for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) production in Latin America. Spot blotch (caused by Cochliobolus sativus), stripe rust (caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei) and leaf ...
