Kinetic study of the photo-assisted oxygen atom transfer reaction (OAT) using a dioxo-Mo complex anchored on TiO2, stimulated by light, was performed at ambient conditions using triphenylphosphine (PPh3) as a model molecule. The kinetic of the OAT reaction was studied with three catalytic systems: 4,4’-dicarboxylate-2,2’-bipyridine-dioxochloromolybdenum (MoO2L/TiO2), H2MoO4 (H2MoO4/TiO2) and molybdenum oxide (MoO3/ TiO2) anchored to TiO2. The MoO2L/TiO2 gives conversion higher than 90% and selectivity (to phosphine oxide) close to 100%. MoO3/TiO2 did not allow the oxo-transference, suggesting the importance of the bipyridine ligand as an electronic connector between MoO2L unit and TiO2. With the MoO2L/TiO2 system was observed that when the photonic flux increases, the quantum yield, and the OAT reaction rate increases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this work was to identify the agent associated with wilting disease and evaluate the incidence in nine commercial tomato genotypes: six genotypes with undetermined growth (Cid, Sun 7705, Moctezuma, Cuauhtémoc, Ramses and Aníbal) and three of determined growth (Palomo, Pony express and Toro). The genotypes were evaluated in four shadow mesh production systems: directly on soil, and tezontle substrate in 37x37, 40x40 and 40x45 cm polyethylene plastic bags. The wilt disease incidence was evaluated at 114 days in 3,476 plants. According to morphological characteristics in vitro in PDA medium and humid chamber, only one fungus of the Fusarium genus was isolated from 18/20 plants whereas Fusarium and Rhizoctonia solani were isolated in 2/20. The highest incidence was observed in genotypes Cid (20.1%), Moctezuma (22.4%) and Sun 7705 (29.7%) and the lowest on determined growth genotypes. The 37x37 cm bag production system had the highest wilting disease incidence (25.9%) with 74.3 t ha-1 yield; while in 40x45 cm bags the incidence was lowest (4.7%). In the four production systems, the lowest yield was obtained in Sun 7705 genotype ranging in 59.7 - 70.6 t ha-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To determine the level of environmental impact caused by an intensive aquaculture season of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) in floating cage systems in water nutrients and benthic macroinvertebrates in Lake Guamuez. Materials and methods. The study was developed in three areas of Lake Guamuez (two floating cage facilities and one control point). Three sampling stations with depths of 0, 10 and 20 meters were taken in each area, in order to perform measurements of total phosphorus, nitrites, nitrates and phosphates. Also, dives were carried out to a depth of approximately 20 meters, collecting sediment samples for the identification of macroinvertebrates. The environmental impact was evaluated by the relationship of the mentioned variables, using discriminant analysis and analysis of variance, previous verification of the statistical assumptions. Results. The nitrite, nitrate, phosphate and total phosphorus nutrients present significant differences (p<0.05) among all areas and only at some sampling depths. In addition, seven families of macroinvertebrates (Chironomidae, Thiaridae, Ampullariidae, Planaridae and Tubificidae indicative of contaminated and moderately contaminated waters and Hydrobiosidae and Hydrachnidae indicating good water quality) were collected. Conclusions. In the culture cages unlike the control point, higher nutrient content values were evidenced; the families of macroinvertebrates indicating contaminated or moderately contaminated water were also found. However, the results found are not found in risk limits for the lacustrine system or for the animals of culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In February 2012, a reproductive group of 60 adult blackbucks (Antilope cervicapra) from Veracruz, Mexico was relocated to hunting units in eastern and northeastern Mexico. Seven individuals died due to hemorrhagic parasitic, abomasitis and enteritis caused by Haemonchus spp., Setaria spp., and Trichostrongylids. Deaths were associated with hepatic necrosis, bilateral congestive distention of heart and fibrinonecrotic bronchopneumonia. Also Anaplasma marginale was identified. The blackbucks' population displayed a general mortality rate of 11.67%, where 25% of total male and 9.62% of total female died. The mortality was controlled by segregation of all remaining blackbucks and the treatment for internal and external parasites (biting flies and ticks). After the treatment, no fatality cases related to parasitosis were recorded. The results presented here exhibit the high relevance of parasitosis as possible factor risk in the survival of tis specie. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To determine the presence of Rickettsia typhi in synanthropic rodents captured in the rural community of Bolmay, Yucatan, Mexico, an area with history of murine typhus cases. Materials and methods. Thirty Mus musculus, 6 Rattus rattus and 1 Heteromys gaumeri were examined. Total DNA was obtained of rodent's spleen. The identification of Rickettsia typhi was performed through the fragment's amplification of the htrA (17-kDa gene protein) by endpoint PCR. The positive products were purified and sent for sequencing and analysis with the BLAST tool. Results. Rickettsial DNA was identified in 27% (10/37) of the rodents: seven M. musculus and 3 R. rattus. The alignment analyses obtained identity and coverage percentages of 97 - 99% for R. typhi. Conclusions. The present study suggests the participation of synanthropic rodents in the murine typhus cycle in the region. We described the first molecular evidence of R. typhi in M. musculus of Yucatan, Mexico.

Data from 241 interviews collected in 2013 was analyzed to characterize populations of pigs (Mexican Hairless Pig (MH), Cuino Pig (CU) and Crossbred Pig (UD)). Variables were body weight (BW), head length (HL), body length (BL), thoracic perimeter (CG), height at withers (HW), croup width (RW), number of nipples (TC), dense or sparse hair (HD), presence or absence of tusks (TU), short or long snout (ST), upright or floppy ears (ER), calm or restless temperament (TM), proportionality index (PI), body index (BI) and relative weight index (RWI). Analyses were carried out with GLM and GENMOD of SAS. Models included state and population. Population was significant (P<0.05) for BW, BL, CG, HW, RW, TU, TM, PI, BI and RWI. Coefficients of variation (VC) showed the minor and major values for BW (18.8 %) and CG (27.8 %). VC were 13.0, 14.6 and 45.8 % for PI, BI and RWI. Least squares means for MH, CU and UD were: 48.06±6.17a, 35.93±3.04b and 61.11±7.42a kg (BW); 77.81±3.65ab, 69.56±2.02a and 88.52±4.93b cm (BL); 80.55±3.98ab, 71.72±2.20a and 93.23±5.37b cm (CG); 56.88±2.45ab, 51.26±1.36a and 60.32±3.31b cm (HW); 57±4a, 71±19b and 62±34a % (HD); 68±31ab, 70±14a and 61±27b% (TU); 65±30a, 56±12b and 62±3a% (TM). The MH and UD populations were similar in morphometry and different from the CU population. The CU population showed lower weight, smaller size and calmer temperament. The characterization of these populations is important for designing strategies for their conservation and efficient use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective was to evaluate some morphological characteristics of backyard turkeys (n=248) coming from 126 rural production units located in 75 municipalities of 24 States of the Mexican Republic. The statistical model included sex, state, and municipality within state. The three explanatory variables affected all the response variables (P<0.01), except municipality, which did not affect breast circumference (P>0.05). Male turkeys had greater (P<0.001) body length (10.7 cm more), wingspan (11.4 cm more), breast circumference (13.8 cm more), shank length (2.5 cm more), body weight (2.5 kg more), stockiness (9.0 percentage units more) and massiveness (2.8 percentage units more) than female turkeys. Body weight showed to be highly correlated phenotypically (P<0.01) with breast circumference in both males (r=0.74) and females (r=0.71). Body length was lowly correlated with shank length (r=0.25; P<0.01) in males, but it was not correlated with shank length in females (r=0.05; P>0.05). Body weight increased 143 g in males (P<0.01) and 113 g in females (P<0.01) for each centimeter increment in breast circumference. The predominant colors in the plumage, skin and tarsus were black, white and brown, respectively. The Mexican backyard turkey presented significant sexual dimorphism and strong phenotypic correlation between breast circumference and body weight. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
