TL;DR: This comprehensive review of host-parasite associations between larval Trombidioidea and its arthropod hosts includes 676 pair-wise (species-species) associations and is based mainly on published records, supplemented with new findings.
Abstract: This comprehensive review of host-parasite associations between larval Trombidioidea and its arthropod hosts includes 676 pair-wise (species-species) associations and is based mainly on published records, supplemented with new findings. For 27% of all nominal species assigned to the superfamily (excl. Trombiculidae and Walchiidae), and for 66% of species known from larvae at least one host record has been hitherto provided. Hosts remain unknown for Allotanaupodidae and Yurebillidae. Both generalist and specialist parasites have been recognized within Trombidioidea. However, for the vast majority of species, the fragmentary data on host-parasite associations do not allow differentiation between common and exceptional hosts, apart from general preferences towards the host group. Hitherto recorded arthropod hosts, exploited by trombidioid larvae, are listed. Ecological data relating to measures of host-parasite interactions are summarized. Names of mites and their hosts are verified and updated and the recent affiliation to higher taxa is followed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of drying method on aroma/volatile compounds of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus Jacq) was evaluated and the best fitting model to describe the drying kinetics of the oyster mushroom was Henderson and Pabis model.
Abstract: The smell of food is one of the most important factors in assessing its quality. In this study, the influence of drying method on aroma/volatile compounds of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus Jacq.) was evaluated. The drying methods tested were convective drying (CD), freeze-drying (FD), vacuum microwave drying (VMD), and a combination of convective predrying and VM finish drying (CPD–VMFD). The volatile compounds were extracted by solid-phase microextraction and identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The best fitting model to describe the drying kinetics of the oyster mushroom was Henderson and Pabis model. Thirty-four volatiles in fresh oyster mushrooms were identified, with 3-octanone (2,890 µg/100 g dry basis) and 3-octanol (991 µg/100 g) being the major components. The total concentration of volatiles of fresh mushroom (4,506 µg/100 g) was drastically reduced by all drying treatments, although the highest contents were found after: (i) CPD (50°C)–VMFD (480 W) (245 µg/100 g) a...

TL;DR: Some issues related to the swine microbiome, its development starting from an early age of life and its status in adult animals, as well as factors affecting the microbiome in pigs are presented.
Abstract: The development of research methods and tools related to microbiome investigation, as well as widened knowledge and awareness concerning the significance of microorganisms inhabiting mammalian organisms, has led to an increasing popularity of studies in this field. This review paper presents some issues related to the swine microbiome, its development starting from an early age of life and its status in adult animals, as well as factors affecting the microbiome in pigs. Attention is paid to the role of probiotics and prebiotics as alternatives to antibiotics in the context of post-weaning diarrhea treatment, and to the role of microorganisms inhabiting the digestive tract of pigs in performance indices formation. In veterinary and pork production practice, understanding of the swine microbiome and its relationships with the host organism may be useful in the prevention of some diseases and also in improvement of performance results of animals.

TL;DR: This study identified Campylobacter strains, isolated from turkey and broilers, using both PCR and the matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) methods to reveal the accuracy of identification, as well as to evaluate the antimicrobial and genetic resistance of the investigated strains.
Abstract: Campylobacter spp. is a major cause of foodborne diseases in humans, particularly when transmitted by the handling or consumption of undercooked poultry meat. Most Campylobacter infections are self-limiting, but antimicrobial treatment (e.g., fluoroquinolones and macrolides) is necessary in severe or prolonged cases. The indiscriminate use of these drugs, both in clinical medicine and animal production, has a major impact on public health. The aim of the present study was to identify Campylobacter strains, isolated from turkey and broilers, using both PCR and the matrix-assisted laser desorption–ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) methods to reveal the accuracy of identification, as well to evaluate the antimicrobial and genetic resistance of the investigated strains. MALDI-TOF and PCR methods were used to show differences, if any, in the specificity of that test. In this study, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry gave the same results as multiplex PCR, in all cases. The highest rate of resistance (i.e., 100% o...

TL;DR: The presented M. luteus isolate exhibits a significant keratinolytic potential, which determines its feasible applicatory capacity towards biodegradation of poultry by-products or formulation of keratin-based feed components.
