متن کاملRecent advances in the laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis.
The laboratory plays a decisive role in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) and the identification and drug sensitivity testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. For a long time the laboratories used only microscopyand culture-based diagnosis, however, due to the slow growth of mycobacteria, these procedures may require 3-4 weeks or longer to yield results.

متن کاملRecent Advances in Oral Rabies Vaccination
The ability to successfully and consistently vaccinate foxes, dogs, and raccoons with modified live virus rabies vaccine (ERA) in the liquid form is an accomplished fact. However, methods of incorporating the vaccine virus into an acceptable bait for field distribution remains a major stumbling block to progress in the practical application of oral rabies vaccination. In addition, we have been ...
