The objective of this work was to screen the EU-regulated lipophilic and cyclic imine toxins in four bivalve species (Atrina vexillum, Pinctada imbricata, Anadara antiquata, Saccostrea Cucculata) from Mozambican coast Indian Ocean. Toxins were extracted analyzed according EU reference method for determination shellfish via LC–MS/MS, but no regulated found species. However, pinnatoxins (PnTX G, ...

Cultivation of salt-tolerant crops help to face irreversible global salinization freshwater and soils. In New-Caledonia, three halophytes are candidates for saline crops, Salsola australis R.Br., Suaeda maritima (L.) Dumort Enchylaena tomentosa R.Br. Their success quality depend yet on availabilities salinity essential nutrients in agrosystems. So, we investigated effects salinities, i.e., cont...

Segregation analysis on 228 family pedigrees collected from a Papua New Guinean population provided data that strongly supported a previous report of an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance of a susceptibility to tinea imbricata. The frequency of the susceptibility gene within the population studied was found to be 0.49 +/- 0.04, calculated on the assumption of an autosomal recessive mode...
