A new disease in farmed rainbow trout (Onchorhyncus mykiss) was described in Norway in 2013.The disease mainly affected the heart and resembled heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.).HSMI is associated with Piscine orthoreovirus (PRV), and a search for a similar virus in the diseased rainbow trout led to d
Human activities can increase or decrease risks of acquiring a zoonotic disease, notably by affecting the composition and abundance of hosts.This study investigated the links between land use and infectious disease risk in northeast Madagascar, where human subsistence activities and population growth are encroaching on native habitats and the assoc
A bio-based membrane was developed for building envelope applications.Biocomposites with enhanced water vapor permeability were fabricated based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and cellulose microfibers (CMF).To improve the interfacial adhesion between PLA and fibers, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a compatibilizer for the modification of CMF.The
A community pharmacy, also known as a retail pharmacy, is the most common type of pharmacy that allows the public access to their medications and advice about their health.The conditions existing in the community pharmacy, as well as the qualification of the staff who work there, are fundamental for the compliance of good pharmacy practices.Objecti
Immune checkpoint targeting immunotherapy has revolutionized the treatment of certain cancers in the recent years.Determination of the status of immune checkpoint expression in particular cancers may assist decision making.Here, we describe the development of a single-stranded aptamer-based Voltmeters molecular probe specifically recognizing human
