D vitamīna receptora gēna polimorfismu saistība ar bronhiālo astmu Latvijas populācijā
2021
D vitamīna receptors (VDR) nodrošina D vitamīna funkciju izpildi organismā. To kodē VDR – plejotropisks gēns, kas tiek asociēts ar autoimunitāti, dažādām iekaisuma un alerģiskām slimībām, tai skaitā arī bronhiālo astmu (BA). Bronhiālā astma ir ģenētiski sarežģīta un heterogēna hroniska elpceļu iekaisuma slimība. VDR sekvences varianti rs731236 un rs1544410 tiek pētīti kā potenciāli bronhiālas astmas risku ietekmējoši faktori. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija analizēt VDR gēna viena nukleotīda polimorfismu (SNP; single nucleotide polymorphism) rs731236 A/G un rs1544410 C/T asociāciju ar bronhiālo astmu Latvijas populācijā. Lai noskaidrotu šo SNP potenciālo ietekmi uz saslimšanas iespējamību, pēc rest…
On the morphology of Anisakis pegreffii: a comparative analysis of three microscopic techniques used to build a new parasite atlas
2014
BACKGROUND: Human anisakidosis is a parasitic anthropozoonosis caused by larval nematodes of the family Anisakidae. Here, we report a detailed description of the morphology of Anisakis pegreffii third-stage larva performed using a conventional light and confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) that provide a basis for both phenotypic studies and genetic mutations. METHODS: The collected larvae from fish were morphologically identified as Anisakis larvae Type I, and they were characterized by PCR-RFLP to identify the Anisakis pegreffii specie. Using NC5/NC2 primers, ribosomal genomic regions ITS1, 5.8 SrRNA and ITS2 of DNA were amplified and PCR products were sequenced. Fi…
Changements à court terme de la composition des communautés de champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules et des populations de Rhizophagus irregularis en…
2014
La mycorhize à arbuscule a un important potentiel d’amélioration de la nutrition minérale des plantes, fort utile dans le contexte agricole. Cependant, certaines pratiques culturales sont connues pour avoir un effet néfaste sur la diversité des champignons mycorhiziens à arbuscules (Glomeromycètes). Il est donc nécessaire de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de leurs communautés et populations pour pouvoir préserver et gérer le potentiel symbiotique. Dans cette étude, nous avons étudié les effets séparés et conjoints du retournement du sol et des fertilisations phosphatée et azotée du sol sur la structure des communautés des Glomeromycètes et sur les populations de l’espèce Rhizophagus irregu…
Survey on the presence of A. simplex s.s. and A. pegreffii hybrid forms in Central-Western Mediterranean Sea
2016
Abstract In this study, 1029 fish and cephalopod samples came from Central-Western Mediterranean (FAO 37.1.1 and FAO 37.1.3) were analysed for Anisakidae larvae research with the aim to identify possible hybridisations between Anisakis pegreffii and Anisakis simplex s.s. species. A total of 1765 larvae were detected, with prevalence values between 8.1% and 100%. The morphologic analysis revealed characters attributable to morphotype I of Anisakis in 98.5% of the examined larvae, while 1.5% belonged to the morphotype II. PCR-based Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR–RFLP) analysis of the entire ITS region (ITS1, 5.8S and ITS2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was performed with Hinf…
Quality controls for cell cultures: identification of interspecies cross-contamination by PCR-RFLP analysis of the cytochrome b gene
2012
Cross-contaminations of a cell line with cells of different species represent a potential risk in laboratories handling human and animal cells. Therefore, it is necessary to control such contaminations. Tests based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are used in forensic analysis, phylogenetic studies and in food authentication. However, the use of mtDNA in quality controls of cell cultures is recent. Mitochondrial sequence differences of closely related animal species are five- to tenfold higher than those of nuclear genes. On the contrary, intraspecies variation in mitochondrial sequences is low in most animal species. Moreover, each cell contains 100–10.000 mitochondrial genomes. The amount of …
Evaluation of Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum and Pseudomonas fluorescens for Panama Disease Control
2011
Publication Inra prise en compte dans l'analyse bibliométrique des publications scientifiques mondiales sur les Fruits, les Légumes et la Pomme de terre. Période 2000-2012. http://prodinra.inra.fr/record/256699; Nonpathogenic Fusarium oxysporum endophytes from healthy banana roots were evaluated for their ability to reduce Fusarium wilt of banana (Panama disease). Isolates were identified morphologically and by using species-specific primers. Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculating banana plantlets in the greenhouse. Nonpathogenic F. oxysporum isolates were grouped into 14 haplotype groups by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of the intergenic sp…
Effects of the introduction of a biocontrol strain of Trichoderma atroviride on non target soil micro-organisms
2009
International audience; The main objective of this study was to assess the impact of the application of an antagonistic strain of Trichoderma atroviride on the native microbial soil communities. The structures of the fungal and bacterial communities were assessed by T-RFLP (terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism) method, based on T-RFLP analysis of 18S and 16S rRNA genes, respectively. Results showed that the introduction of the strain I-1237 into two soils slightly modified the microbial diversity, only for a short period of time. Nine months post-inoculation resilience took place, resulting in similar structures of the fungal and bacterial communities in the inoculated and cont…

Spatial microbial community structure and biodiversity analysis in "extreme" hypersaline soils of a semiarid Mediterranean area
2015
In recent years specific attention has been paid on the biotechnological potential of microorganisms in extreme soils, in particular in saline soils. Salinity is one of the most widespread soil degradation processes on the Earth, and saline soils can be defined as extreme soils or border line habitats in which several factors, as high salt content, may limit the growth of organisms. In this study, the physical, chemical and microbiological soil properties were investigated in the shallower horizon of natural saltaffected soils in Sicily (Italy). The main aim of the research was to evaluate the structure and diversity of bacterial and archaeal communities by terminal-restriction fragment len…
Cause and duration of mustard incorporation effects on soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi
2009
International audience; Two fungal plant pathogens, Rhizoctonia solani AG 2-2 and Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lini, were studied in relation to general responses of soil fungi and bacteria following incorporation of Brassica juncea. Our aim was to understand to what extent the changes in the biological and physicochemical characteristics of the soil could explain the effects on the studied pathogens and diseases, and to determine the temporal nature of the responses. Short-term effects of mustard incorporation (up to 4 months) were investigated in a microcosm experiment, and compared with a treatment where composted plant material was incorporated. In a field experiment, the responses were fol…
