Acetate, a metabolic product of Heligmosomoides polygyrus, facilitates intestinal epithelial barrier breakdown in a FFAR2-dependent manner
Nicola Harris, Mario Michael Zaiss, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Luc Xavier Marie Lebon
Approximately 2 billion people worldwide and a significant part of the domestic livestock are infected with soil-transmitted helminths, of which many establish chronic infections causing substantial eco-nomic and welfare burdens. Beside intensive research ...
2022Wind-tunnel experimental studies of the spatial snow distribution over grass and bush surfaces
The snow is one of the most important water resources in grassland in northern and western China, while the wind blowing snow due to the strong wind there is a common phenomenon, which can lead to heavy disasters to harm the local animal husbandry and tran ...
SPRINGER2022The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock
Simple Summary:& nbsp;After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome l ...
2021Biogeoinformatics for the management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR)
In the context of both severe selection in farm animals and potential effects of climate change, it is crucial to implement a sustainable management of the breeding practice, supported by a judicious use of geographic information technologies. Based on thi ...
EPFL2020Genome-wide SNP profiling of worldwide goat populations reveals strong partitioning of diversity and highlights post-domestication migration routes
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Elia Vajana
Background: Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess their diversity at a global scale. We analysed genome-wide 50K single nuc ...
BMC2018Integrating models across temporal and spatial scales to simulate landscape patterns and dynamics in mountain pasture-woodlands
Alexander Ludwig Johannes Peringer
Context Pasture-woodlands are semi-natural landscapes that result from the combined influences of climate, management, and intrinsic vegetation dynamics. These landscapes are sensitive to future changes in land use and climate, but our ability to predict t ...
Springer2017Simple rules for an efficient use of Geographic Information Systems in molecular ecology
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are becoming increasingly popular in the context of molecular ecology and conservation biology thanks to their display options efficiency, flexibility and management of geodata. Indeed, spatial data for wildlife and liv ...
2017A WebGIS platform for the monitoring of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (GENMON)
Stéphane Joost, Giona Matasci, Ivo Widmer
Background In 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) initiated the Global plan of action for Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR). The main goal of this plan is to reduce further loss of genetic diversity in farm animals, ...
Public Library of Science2017Spatial dependence of genetic data related to human health and livestock disease resistance: a role for geography to support the One Health approach
The spatial dependence of located health and/or genetic data can be used to detect clusters likely to reveal disease prevalence or signatures of adaptation associated with characteristics of the local environment (high temperatures, air or water pollution) ...
2017Archaebacteria in bioactive animal feed, method of making the composition and methods employing the composition
Duncan-Bruce Sutherland, Mario Michael Zaiss
The invention relates to a food supplement comprising or consisting of Archaebacteria, and particularly methanogenic Archaebacteria, to be used as a probiotic adjunct for animal feed. The supplement can be provided to e.g. farmed animals in addition to sta ...
