Molecular Characterization of Hyalomma dromedarii from Bikaner, India

Catalase from larvae of the camel tick Hyalomma dromedarii

Catalase plays a major role in protecting cells against toxic reactive oxygen species. Here, Catalase was purified from larvae of the camel tick Hyalomma dromedarii and designated TLCAT. It was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, Sephacryl S-300 and CM-cellulose columns. Gel filtration and SDS-PAGE of the purified TLCAT indicated that the protein has...

Evaluation of glycoproteins purified from adult and larval camel ticks (Hyalomma dromedarii) as a candidate vaccine

In order to identify antigens that can help prevent camel tick infestations, three major glycoproteins (GLPs) about 97, 66 and 40 kDa in size were purified from adult and larval Egyptian ticks, Hyalomma (H.) dromedarii, using a single-step purification method with Con-A sepharose. The purified GLPs were evaluated as vaccines against camel tick infestation in rabbits. The rabbits received three ...

Biologie de Hyalomma dromedarii (Koch 1844)

Dynamics of malaria in Bikaner, Rajasthan, India (1975-2006).

Epidemiological scenario of malaria differs from state to state and region to region and the data of a country cannot represent the situation in different regions. One should have a clear knowledge about the dynamics of malaria in a particular region so that prevention and management strategies can be planned in a better way. If we look at the epidemiological trends of India there is a trend to...
