Instituto de Recursos Cinegéticos
Browse by
El IREC es el primer centro científico español dedicado a la investigación de diversos aspectos relativos a la caza, entendida ésta como un recurso natural renovable. El IREC fue creado el 24 de febrero de 1999 mediante un convenio específico entre el CSIC, la UCLM y la JCCM. Se trata por tanto, de un Instituto Mixto de titularidad compartida entre estas tres instituciones, las cuales se encuentran representadas en los órganos de gobierno del Instituto a través de la Comisión Rectora, quien entre sus funciones ostenta la de apoyar al IREC ante otras Instituciones y Entidades, a fin de conseguir lo necesario para el mejor funcionamiento y promoción del Instituto.

Differentially represented proteins in response to infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis identified by quantitative serum proteomics in Asian elephants
(MDPI, 2022-09)Tuberculosis is a major global concern. Tuberculosis in wildlife is a risk for zoonotic transmission and becoming one of the challenges for conservation globally. In elephants, the number of cases is likely rising. The ... -
Correlates with Vaccine Protective Capacity and COVID-19 Disease Symptoms Identified by Serum Proteomics in Vaccinated Individuals
(MDPI, 2022-09)In the last two years, the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been a scientific and social challenge worldwide. Vaccines have been the ... -
The Correlation between Subolesin-Reactive Epitopes and Vaccine Efficacy
(MDPI, 2022-08)Vaccination is an environmentally-friendly alternative for tick control. The tick antigen Subolesin (SUB) has shown protection in vaccines for the control of multiple tick species in cattle. Additionally, recent approaches ... -
HEPA filters of portable air cleaners as a tool for the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2
(Wiley, 2022-08)Studies about the identification of SARS-CoV-2 in indoor aerosols have been conducted in hospital patient rooms and to a lesser extent in nonhealthcare environments. In these studies, people were already infected with ... -
Art–science multidisciplinary collaborations to address the scientific challenges posed by COVID-19
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-09)The ongoing coronavirus pandemic COVID-19 constitutes a scientific and social challenge. The application of mixed-methods research with multidisciplinary collaborations increases the success of experimental design and ... -
Current and Future Strategies for the Diagnosis and Treatment of the Alpha-Gal Syndrome (AGS)
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2022-07)The α-Gal syndrome (AGS) is a pathognomonic immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated delayed anaphylaxis in foods containing the oligosaccharide galactose-α-1,3-galactose (α-Gal) such as mammalian meat or dairy products. Clinical ... -
Heat inactivated mycobacteria, alpha-Gal and zebrafish: Insights gained from experiences with two promising trained immunity inductors and a validated animal model
(Wiley, 2022-06)Trained immunity (TRAIM) may be defined as a form of memory where innate immune cells such as monocytes, macrophages, dendritic and natural killer (NK) cells undergo an epigenetic reprogramming that enhances their primary ... -
The Impact of RNA Interference in Tick Research
(MDPI, 2022-07)Over the past two decades, RNA interference (RNAi) in ticks, in combination with omics technologies, have greatly advanced the discovery of tick gene and molecular function. While mechanisms of RNAi were initially ... -
Understanding Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in elephants through a One Health approach: a systematic review
(BMC, 2022-07)Background: Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) that causes the chronic infectious disease- tuberculosis (TB), often presents with a complicated epidemiological pattern where the transmission chain may include humans, ... -
Functional characterization of α-Gal producing lactic acid bacteria with potential probiotic properties
(Nature Research, 2022-05)The possibility of exploiting the human immune response to glycan α-Gal for the control of multiple infectious diseases has been the objective of recent investigations. In this field of research, the strain of Escherichia ... -
Assessment of the safety and efficacy of an oral probiotic-based vaccine against Aspergillus infection in captive-bred Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldt).
(Frontiers Media, 2022-05)Aspergillosis is a fungal infection caused mainly by Aspergillus fumigatus that often results in respiratory disease in birds. Aspergillosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in captive-bred penguin species. ... -
Akirin/Subolesin regulatory mechanisms at host/tick–pathogen interactions
(Oxford University Press, 2021-11)Ticks and tick-borne pathogens such as Anaplasma phagocytophilum affect human and animal health worldwide and thus the characterization of host/tick–pathogen interactions is important for the control of tick-borne diseases. ... -
Exploring the ecological implications of microbiota diversity in birds: natural barriers against avian malaria
(Frontiers Media, 2022-02)Natural antibodies (Abs), produced in response to bacterial gut microbiota, drive resistance to infection in vertebrates. In natural systems, gut microbiota diversity is expected to shape the spectrum of natural Abs and ... -
Low NETosis Induced in Anaplasma phagocytophilumInfected Cells
