| arbuscular mycorrhiza changes the impact of potato virus y on growth and stress tolerance of solanum tuberosum l. in vitro. | under the field conditions crop plants interact with diverse microorganisms. these include beneficial (symbiotic) and phytopathogenic microorganisms, which jointly affect growth and productivity of the plants. in last decades, production of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) suffers from increased incidence of potato virus y (pvy), which is one of most important potato pests. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) are common symbionts of potato, however the impact of mycorrhizal symbiosis on the progress ... | 2019 | 32010078 |
| flaviviruses in migratory passerines during spring stopover in a desert oasis. | bird migration has long been hypothesized as the main mechanism for long-distance dispersal of flaviviruses, but the role of migratory birds in flaviviruses spillover is not well documented. in this study, we investigated the eco-epidemiology of west nile virus (wnv) and usutu virus (usuv) in trans-saharan passerines during their spring stopover in southern tunisian oases. to do, we combined oral swab analysis and serological tools to assess whether migratory birds could be reaching these stopov ... | 2019 | 31090178 |
| description of acuaria europaea n. sp. (spirurida: acuariidae) from dendrocopos syriacus (hemprich & ehrenberg) and oriolus oriolus (l.) (aves) in europe, with results of re-examination of related european species of acuaria bremser, 1811. | acuaria europaea n. sp. is described from one dendrocopos syriacus (hemprich & ehrenberg) (piciformes: picidae) (type-host) and three oriolus oriolus (l.) (passeriformes: oriolidae) in bulgaria (type-locality) and france. the new species is characterised by cordons extending slightly beyond the level of the anterior end of the glandular oesophagus, left spicule 297 µm long, right spicule 155 µm long, protruding vulvar region and strongly ventrally curved female tail. the male (holotype) and the ... | 2017 | 28130669 |
| new records of nematodes of passerine migratory birds. | parasitological examination of three passerine bird species: the red-backed shrike lanius collurio, eurasian golden oriole oriolus oriolus and yellow wagtail motacilla flava, revealed the presence of the nematodes acuaria subula, diplotriaena ozouxi, viguiera euryoptera and microtetrameres inermis. all the birds were obtained in the spring (april-may); the nematodes found were mature, which indicates infection in the hosts' wintering grounds. the gizzard worm acuaria subula is a new record from ... | 2013 | 24881284 |
