first reports of trichinella pseudospiralis in wild boars (sus scrofa) of italy.	trichinella pseudospiralis is a non-encapsulated species infecting both mammals and birds. in italy, this parasite was reported only in two night-birds of prey of central italy. in january 2010, trichinella larvae were detected in three wild boars (sus scrofa) of two regions of northern italy by enzymatic digestion. the parasites were identified as t. pseudospiralis by multiplex-pcr. the first infected wild boar was hunted in the emilia romagna region and the other two infected wild boars were b ...	2011	21296503
denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of the 16s rrna gene v1 region to monitor dynamic changes in the bacterial population during fermentation of italian sausages.	in this study, a pcr-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (dgge) protocol was used to monitor the dynamic changes in the microbial population during ripening of natural fermented sausages. the method was first optimized by using control strains from international collections, and a natural sausage fermentation was studied by pcr-dgge and traditional methods. total microbial dna and rna were extracted directly from the sausages and subjected to pcr and reverse transcription-pcr, and the amplic ...	2001	11679334
