Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify phenotypic variations in tick infestation levels among Argentine Creole cattle, focusing on 179 heifers over a four-year period.
- The results revealed that the breed demonstrated a high resistance to tick infestation, with an average resistance level of 99.3%.
- Furthermore, while previous nutritional conditions didn't impact tick response, weight gain correlated negatively with tick charge, suggesting that this breed is a promising option for breeding in tick-prone areas.

A new methodology involving a simple and fast pretreatment of the samples by microwave-assisted extraction and concentration by N2 stream, followed by HPLC with fluorescence detection, was used for determining the concentration of benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in atmospheric particulate matter (PM10 fraction). Obtained LOD, 1.0 × 10(-3) ng/m(3), was adequate for the analysis of benzo(a)pyrene in the samples, and BaP recovery from PAH in Fine Dust (PM10-like) certified reference material was nearly quantitative (86%).
