The 2013–2016 West African epidemic caused by the Ebola virus was of unprecedented
magnitude, duration and impact. Here we reconstruct the dispersal, proliferation and decline of …

The SARS-CoV-2 proteome shares regions of conservation with endemic human coronaviruses
(CoVs), but it remains unknown to what extent these may be cross-recognized by the …

Background. Quinolone-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae (QRNG) arise from mutations in gyrA
(intermediate resistance) or gyrA and parC (resistance). Here we tested the consequence …

Background Selective breeding is a relatively recent practice in aquaculture species
compared to terrestrial livestock. Nevertheless, the genetic variability of farmed salmonid lines, …

On 29 June 2015, Liberia’s respite from Ebola virus disease (EVD) was interrupted for the
second time by a renewed outbreak (“flare-up”) of seven confirmed cases. We demonstrate …

Background Rainbow trout is a significant fish farming species under temperate climates.
Female reproduction traits play an important role in the economy of breeding companies with …

One of the top priorities of the aquaculture industry is the genetic improvement of economically
important traits in fish, such as those related to processing and quality. However, the …

In rainbow trout farming, Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the causative agent of bacterial
cold water disease, is responsible for important economic losses. Resistance to F. …

Recent studies have shown that current levels of inbreeding, estimated by runs of homozygosity
(ROH), are moderate to high in farmed rainbow trout lines. Based on ROH metrics, the …

Background Selective breeding is a promising solution to reduce the vulnerability of fish
farms to heat waves, which are predicted to increase in intensity and frequency. However, …
