Invasive slug populations (Arion vulgaris) as potential vectors for Clostridium botulinum
BACKGROUND Norwegian meadows, including those for silage production, are recently found heavily invaded by the slug Arion vulgaris in exposed areas. As a consequence, large numbers of slugs might contaminate grass silage and cause a possible threat to animal feed quality and safety. It is well known that silage contaminated by mammalian or avian carcasses can lead to severe outbreaks of botulis...
متن کاملActual and potential applications of Yuccaschidigera and Quillaja saponaria saponins inhuman and animal nutrition
Saponins are natural detergents (surfactants) found in a variety of plants. The two major commercial sources are desert plants: Yucca schidigera from Mexico and Quillaja saponaria from Chile. Yucca saponins have a steroid nucleus, whereas Quillaja saponins are triterpenoid in structure. Saponins contain a lipophilic nucleus (steroid or triterpenoid) and one or more water– soluble carbohydrate s...
متن کاملEnchytraeus albidus Microarray: Enrichment, Design, Annotation and Database (EnchyBASE)
Enchytraeus albidus (Oligochaeta) is an ecologically relevant species used as standard test organisms for risk assessment. Effects of stressors in this species are commonly determined at the population level using reproduction and survival as endpoints. The assessment of transcriptomic responses can be very useful e.g. to understand underlying mechanisms of toxicity with gene expression fingerp...
متن کاملMisperceived invasion: the Lusitanian slug (Arion lusitanicus auct. non-Mabille or Arion vulgaris Moquin-Tandon 1855) is native to Central Europe
The Lusitanian slug, presumed to be native to south-west Europe, was ranked among the 100 worst invading species in Central Europe. However, from the very beginning of its recognition in the presumed invasion area, there was little evidence that the species was actually anthropogenically introduced. We investigated the invasive status of the species by comparing specific predictions on the popu...
متن کاملEffect of soil properties and aging on the toxicity of copper for Enchytraeus albidus, Enchytraeus luxuriosus, and Folsomia candida.
In the present study, the effect of the heavy-metal salt copper chloride (CuCl2.2H2O) in soils freshly spiked (3 d) and aged (70 +/- 10 d; mean +/- SD) was studied in the test species Enchytraeus albidus, E. luxuriosus, and Folsomia candida. Up to nine soils were used: Besides the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) artificial soil and the Agricultural Testing and Rese...
