A RP-HPLC method with photodiode array detection (DAD) was developed to separate, identify and quantify simultaneously the most representative phenolic compounds present in Madeira and Canary Islands wines. The optimized chromatographic method was carefully validated in terms of linearity, precision, accuracy and sensitivity. A high repeatability and a good stability of phenolics retention time...

Metastrongylid species infecting wild and domestic cats worldwide are increasingly being reported. Between 2017 2019, a total of 202 faecal samples from the island Tenerife (Canary Islands, Spain) were analysed by microscopy molecular techniques. Morphological analyses showed that 8.91% (18/202) presented first stage larvae (L1) metastrongylid species. Total DNA was isolated tested PCR targetin...

OBJECTIVES To describe the evolution of non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages consumption in the Spanish households from the 60's to nowadays. METHODS This study is based on beverages and food consumption in Spanish households; the data sample consisted of consumption and distribution data, obtained from the Household Budget Survey (HBS) since 1964 to 1991 and from the Food Consumption Survey...

Two tributyrin hydrolysis-negative Moraxella isolates obtained in cases of keratoconjunctivitis in Camelus dromedarius in the Canary Islands showed highest degrees of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to Moraxella canis. A level of DNA relatedness to the M. canis type strain of 79% confirmed the identity of the isolates as a tributyrin hydrolysis-negative biovar of M. canis.

BACKGROUND Although health is one of the main determinants of the welfare of societies, few studies have evaluated health related quality of life in representative samples of the population of a region or a country. Our aim is to describe the health-related quality of life of the inhabitants of two quite different Spanish regions (Canary Islands and Catalonia) and to compare the prevalence of h...

A new species, Hyphodiscus stereicola, is described based on material from Northern Europe, the Canary Islands, and North America. In all of these, greenish apothecia grew on decayed basidiomata of Stereum spp. Morphology and host specialisation of the new species are compared with those of other members of the genus.
