Editorial : Tropical Climate Variability and Change: Impacts in the Amazon

2019

Vast amounts of data from satellites and ground-based systems, and improvements on modeling techniques, allows a better understanding of Earth processes and advances on climate science. The tropics play a key role on global climate processes, and the tropical forest is a sensitive biome in the global hydrological and carbon cycles. In particular, the Amazon region includes about one half of the world’s tropical forest, and relatively small change in Amazon forest dynamics have the potential to substantially affect the rate of climate change. This Research Topics focus on recent finding on the impacts of tropical climate variability and change over the Amazon ecosystem using satellite data, …

Frequency of exposure of endangered Caspian seals to Canine distemper virus, Leptospira interrogans, and Toxoplasma gondii

2017

Canine distemper virus (CDV), Leptospira interrogans, and Toxoplasma gondii are potentially lethal pathogens associated with decline in marine mammal populations. The Caspian Sea is home for the endangered Caspian seal (Pusa caspica). In the late 1990s and early 2000s, CDV caused a series of mortality events involving at least several thousand Caspian seals. To assess current infection status in Caspian seals, we surveyed for antibodies to three pathogens with potential to cause mortality in marine mammals. During 2015-2017, we tested serum samples from 36, apparently healthy, Caspian seals, accidentally caught in fishing nets in the Caspian Sea off Northern Iran, for antibodies to CDV, L. …

Typhoid fever as a cause of opportunistic infection: case report.

2005

Abstract Background Typhoid fever is a systemic infection caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotype typhi, which is acquired by ingestion of contaminated food and water. Each year the disease affects at least 16 million persons world-wide, most of whom reside in the developing countries of Southeast Asia and Africa. In Italy the disease is uncommon with a greater number of cases in Southern regions than in Northern ones. Case presentation We report on a 57-year-old Sri-Lankan male affected by typhoid fever, the onset of which was accompanied by oropharyngeal candidiasis. This clinical sign was due to a transient cell-mediated immunity depression (CD4+ cell cou…

Nuovi spazi di coltivazione e futuro interessante per l’Annona cherimola

2021

La coltivazione dell’annona in Calabria, sebbene con qualche difficoltà legata alla fisiologia della specie, è possibile con risultati produttivi e qualitativi promettenti. I frutti hanno conquistato il mercato interno spuntando prezzi interessanti per i produttori anche se le superfici coltivate sono ancora piuttosto limitate. L’aumento della domanda commerciale e le caratteristiche qualitative dei frutti lasciano presagire un possibile ampliamento delle coltivazioni.

Effects of Rapid Refrigeration and Modified Atmosphere Packaging on Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Fruit Quality Traits

2017

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is a tropical fruit characterized by a rapid pericarp browning and dehydration during postharvest, resulting in an accelerated shelf life and in a loss of consumer appreciation and consequently of its market value. The aim of our study was to assess litchi fruit chemical-physical and sensory quality changes during postharvest and shelf life using rapid refrigeration (RR) and active modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). Litchi fruits were picked at commercial harvest and were divided in 4 groups: not treated fruit (CTR); rapid refrigerated fruit (RRF); modified atmosphere packed fruit (MAP); hydrogen peroxide treated and modified atmosphere packed fruit (MAP+).…

Cresce l’interesse per le colture tropicali. Il caso della papaia in Sicilia

2021

Ampiamente coltivata e apprezzata nei Paesi tropicali, alle nostre latitudini la papaia interessa ancora superfici esigue sebbene la domanda del mercato europeo mostri trend in continua ascesa. Si fregia dell’appellativo di ‘superfood’ in virtù delle sue peculiari proprietà nutraceutiche. Molto resta ancora da fare per mettere a punto la gestione agronomica e post-raccolta

Effetti dell’applicazione di Edible Coating sul comportamento fisiologico e sulle caratteristiche fisico-chimiche, nutrizionali e sensoriali in prodo…

2021

L’incremento demografico e il cambiamento dei ritmi e degli stili di vita della società moderna hanno visto un mercato sempre più globalizzato nonché lo sviluppo di nuove dinamiche nel settore agroalimentare e la crescente richiesta da parte dei consumatori di prodotti pronti al consumo. Le industrie agro-alimentari rispondono a questa richiesta con i prodotti appartenenti alla categoria della IV gamma (detti anche fresh-cut o ready to eat), ossia frutta e verdura fresca, lavata, tagliata, confezionata in packaging personalizzati e posta nei banchi refrigerati della grande distribuzione organizzata (GDO). Nell’ambito del triennio del Dottorato di Ricerca si è scelto di approfondire una dell…
