Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infections in humans can cause asymptomatic to fatal lower respiratory lung disease. Despite posing a probable risk for virus transmission, asymptomatic to mild infections can go unnoticed; a…
Egia-Mendikute et al. develop a multiplexed flow cytometric bead array to simultaneously detect antibodies reactive to three immunogenic SARS-CoV-2 proteins. More sensitive than ELISA, they detected N-reactive antibodies in COVID-19-negative…
Dried blood spot (DBS) samples can be used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike antibodies. DBS sampling is comparable to matched serum samples with a relative 98.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Thus, DBS…
In this paper, evaluation results are presented for multi-temporal interferometric coherence analysis using a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for damage assessment in an urban area. The latest space-borne SARs potentially have a high enough spatial…
Abstract Background Feline coronavirus (FCoV) exists as two pathotypes, and FCoV spike gene mutations are considered responsible for the pathotypic switch in feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate…
Background: The World Health Organization recommends molecular tests Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) to the diagnosis of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), which detect the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-Coronavirus 2) virus RNA.…
The early detection and differential diagnosis of respiratory infections increase the chances for successful control of COVID-19 disease. The nucleic acid RT-PCR test is regarded as the current standard for molecular diagnosis. However, the maximal…
Las zonas litorales son uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados del planeta. El incremento de la población asentada en ellas, el desarrollo de actividades económicas y sociales, al igual que fenómenos como el calentamiento global, constituyen las…
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different irrigation strategies on the sensory quality of virgin olive oil (VOO) from the cv. “cobrançosa” integrated into a protected denomination of origin of “Azeite de Trás-os-Montes” in the…
Prematurity deprives infants of the prenatal sensory stimulation essential to their correct development; in addition, the stressful environment of the NICU impacts negatively on their growth. The purpose of this review was to investigate the effects…
