For how long do infected calves spread coronavirus?

Bovine coronavirus (BCoV) is a widely distributed pathogen, causing disease and economic losses in the cattle industry worldwide. Prevention of virus spread is impeded by a lack of basic knowledge

Closantel treatment failure against Fasciola hepatica

Control of Fasciola hepatica infection in livestock is based on annual treatment using flukicides such as triclabendazole, albendazole and closantel. However, triclabendazole resistant F. hepatica

Microbiome monitoring for risk assessment in recirculating aquaculture systems

Harmful bacteria have a negative impact in aquaculture operations, resulting in increased fish mortality and reduced yield. This project aims to understand the factors leading to their proliferation

Dispersal barriers and functional convergence in aquatic microorganisms

For almost a century, microorganisms have been thought to have a worldwide distribution, leading to the famous hypothesis that "everything is everywhere, but the environment selects". But recent

Hands-on-metabolomics

Metabolomics aim at analysing small molecules (metabolites, e.g. amino acids, sugars, organic acids, and/or lipids) that can be found in biological samples. An important objective in metabolomics is

Chloroplast calcium signaling

Light intensity is rarely stable during the span of a day – think of changing cloud cover, shading, flickering of leaves and daily rhythms of dusk and dawn. As the primary site of photosynthesis,
