No full textSeminoma in the mule: An ultrastructural investigation
No full textThe ultrastructural features of a case of spermatogonic (undifferentiated) seminoma in a mule are described. A summary is given, at the same time, of the main clinical, macroscopic and histologic findings observed within the tumor. Microscopically, many resemblances to equine seminomas could be detected, while the ultrastructural examination revealed, on the other hand, a closer resemblance to canine rather than to human seminomas of this type.[...

No full text'Malvasia nera di Brindisi/Lecce' grapevine cultivar (vitis vinifera l.) originated from 'Negroamaro' and 'Malvasia bianca lunga'
Full text link'Malvasia nera di Brindisi' and 'Malvasia nera di Lecce' are two of the few Malvasias with black berries and belong to the Apulian ampelographic assortment (South Italy). Their presumed synonymy has been recently ascertained with SSR markers and therefore these two black 'Malvasias' can be considered as an unique variety. We discovered that this cultivar is the cross between 'Malvasia bianca lunga' alias 'Malvasia del Chianti' and 'Negroamaro' by using 42 nuclear SSR. Both parents belong to the Apulian varietal resources, since centuries. So far, 'Malvasia nera di Brindisi/Lecce' origin has been obscure; now we may assert that this cultivar was born right in Apulia. Three sets of chloroplast SSR loci were used to determine the female and the male parent:6 ccmp loci, already used in previous pedigree studies, 15 ccSSR loci and 2 NTCPloci, derived from tobacco. The second set of loci was sequenced in order to compare the length of the markers with the reference species where they were originally obtained: in 4 cases no microsatellite motives were detected and in other 4 cases the perfect repetition found in tobacco was not maintained in grape. Unfortunately, the three sets of markers failed to show any polymorphism. A detailed comparison of the black Malvasia morphology with its two parents showed a closer similarity to 'Negroamaro'. Also the anthocyanin profile is in agreement with that of the black parent; its varietal aroma presents interesting levels of free and bound 2-phenylethanol, responsible for rose flavor, and of bound linalool compounds
Indagine sulla Sarcocistosi del cinghiale (Sus scrofa) in sicilia (Survey on wild boar (Sus scrofa) sarcocystosis in Sicily (Italy)
No full textScopo del presente lavoro è stato quello di valutare l'eventuale presenza di protozoi sarcosporidi in una popolazione di cinghiali abbattuti ella provinci adi Messina e sottolineare l'importanza di questi parassiti nel campo della sanità pubblica. La presenza di Sarcocystis spp. è stata valutata in 59 cinghiali (30 maschi, 29 femmine), regolarmente abbattuti nella provincia di Messina, Sicilia (Italia), attraverso la tecnica di digestione cloridro-peptica di frammenti di cuore, diaframma e muscolo scheletrico. Quarantadue (71.2%) dei 59 animali sono risultati positivi con presenza di Sarcocystis spp.. Tutte sono riconducibili a Sarcocystis mieschieriana. Tra i muscoli esaminati, quelli scheletrici hanno mostrato una frequenza più alta dell'infezione, la più bassa invece è stata rilevata a livello cardiaco. Non sono state evidenziate differenze statisticamente significative sulla presenza di S. mieschieriana in animali di diversa età e sesso differente.
Introduction: Wild boars represent wild ungulates more widespread in Italy. Their meat are really appreciated by hunters and several consumers and have a good market. Studies on Sarcocystis spp. presence in wild boars were performed in some Italian regions such as Umbria, Sardinia, Piedmont; their presence has been never investigated in the rich Sicilian population. Aim: The aim of this paper was to perform a survey on Sar-cocystis spp. presence in a wild boar population hunted in the Messina province. The zoonotic potential risk of Sarcocystis spp. was also discussed. Materials and methods: The presence of Sarcocystis spp. infection was investigated in 59 wild boars (30 males, 29 females) shot during a regular hunting-tide in the Messina province, Sicily (Italy). The diagnosis was performed using the peptic digestion of little bit of heart, diaphragm and skeletal muscle. All positive samples were also processed for further histopatholo-gical investigations. The identification of sarcocysts species was made according to morphological features of cystic wall. Results and discussion: Forty-two (71,2%) out of fifty-nine animals were positive for Sarcocystis presence. All positive wild boars were infected by Sarcocystis miescheriana. Among the different organs examined, sarcocyst presence was found to be highest in the skeletal muscle and lowest in the heart. No statistically significant differences on S. miescheriana presence arised between adult and young animals and between males and females. The results of this survey were in agreement with those obtained in previous central regions investigations and highest respect to northern italian region studies. The isolation of S. miescheriana from a point of view limites the potential zoonotic role of the sicilian wild boar meat but for an other hand underlights the possibility to have a problem resulting to a toxic reaction in humans by sarcocyst ingestion. Conclusion: Our experience underlights the need to plug a gap present in the Italian law about control of sarcocystosis infection
