An approach to map and quantify the fishing effort of polyvalent passive gear f...
Sales Henriques, Nuno; Russo, Tommaso; Bentes, Luis; Monteiro, Pedro; Parisi, Antonio; Magno, Ramiro; Oliveira, Frederico; Erzini, KarimThe use of tracking devices, such as vessel monitoring systems or automatic identification system, enabled us to expand our knowledge on the distribution and quantification of fishing activities. However, methods and models based on vessel tracking data are mostly devised to be applied to towed gears, whereas applications to multi-gear and passive fisheries have been underrepresented. Here, we propose a methodo...
Resistome and virulome diversity of foodborne pathogens isolated from artisanal...
Pasquali, Frédérique; Gambi, Lucia; Cesare, Alessandra; Crippa, Cecilia; Cadavez, Vasco; Gonzales-Barron, Ursula; Valero, Antonio; Achemchem, FouadThe aim of the present study was to investigate the resistome and virulome diversity of 43 isolates of Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enterica and S. aureus collected from artisanal fermented meat and dairy products and their production environments in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Morocco. After DNA extraction, genomes were sequenced, and de novo assembled. Genetic relationships among genomes were investigate...
Tracking the international spread of SARS-CoV-2 lineages B.1.1.7 and B.1.351/50...
O'Toole, Áine; Hill, Verity; Pybus, Oliver G.; Watts, Alexander; Bogoch, Issac I.; Khan, Kamran; Messina, Jane P.; Tegally, HouriiyahLate in 2020, two genetically-distinct clusters of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) with mutations of biological concern were reported, one in the United Kingdom and one in South Africa. Using a combination of data from routine surveillance, genomic sequencing and international travel we track the international dispersal of lineages B.1.1.7 and B.1.351 (variant 501Y-V2). We account f...
