Avian coccidiosis is an intestinal parasitosis that causes sanitation problems in poultry farms. It is caused by an intestinal parasite of the genus Eimeria that is highly contagious and produces great economic losses in both meat and egg production. At the industrial level, its control is carried out through biosecurity measures, management, live vaccines and antimicrobials. Although vaccination ...

The potato plays a key role in global nutrition, due to its high productivity and high nutritional value. One of the effects of climate change and variability is the increase in pests and diseases, which represents a great threat to the sustainability of agriculture and food security. The potato is very sensitive to abiotic stresses causing significant yield reductions and frost can destroy the cr...

Banana cultivation is of great economic and social importance in several Latin American countries and the most important phytosanitary problem affecting it is black Sigatoka. The objective of the project was to produce banana and plantain varieties resistant to the disease, generated by genetic transformation accompanied by a system of rapid assessment of resistance under controlled conditions. Fo...

Based on the expert knowledge on biotic stresses with economic effects on corn production in South American countries, it was resolved that to solve these problems, base populations should be developed, with white and yellow endosperm, with genetic resistance to the identified pests and diseases. A program of recurrent selection of S1s was followed, generating lines that were planted in different ...
