In this work, we propose a mathematical pathogen-host model which focused on the epidemiological cycle of banana black leaf streak disease and which takes into account control strategies to reduce the spores production ,this mainly thanks to an differential equations system with time delay in wich, the host dynamics is coupled to that of the fungus...
Parasitism is a frequent lifestyle in nature and a major source of evolutionary pressure for both hosts and their parasites. Dinoflagellates are successful marine protists found in oceans worldwide, some of which are responsible for toxic blooms while others live in mutualistic relationships with myriad of corals. Amoebophrya ceratii species comple...
The exposure of adult, female, Mediterranean goats during anoestrus to males with induced sexual activity via photostimulation, induces a very high percentage of ovulations. The present work examines the ability of photostimulated bucks to improve the male effect-induced reproductive response of young does over that induced by non-stimulated bucks....
Overweight and obesity are known to impact male fertility and are commonly associated with abdominal obesity and metabolic disorders. The association between abdominal obesity or metabolic syndrome with male reproduction has not been fully investigated. Moreover, many factors may interfere with the evaluation of the impact of metabolic syndrome on ...
Gonad differentiation is a crucial step conditioning the future fertility of individuals and most of the master genes involved in this process have been investigated in detail. However, transcriptomic analyses of developing gonads from different animal models have revealed that hundreds of genes present sexually dimorphic expression patterns. DMXL2...
Temperature in the progamic phase is critical for the success of plant sexual reproduction, and new knowledge is needed to optimise breeding programmes to obtain new varieties that adapt to a climate change scenario. Using three male donors and one female recipient in the genus Citrus, we evaluated the effect of four temperature regimes on each pro...
