RECENT ADVANCES IN OUR KNOWLEDGE OF MEASLES

Recent advances in our knowledge of the Myxozoa.

In the last few years two factors have helped to significantly advance our understanding of the Myxozoa. First, the phenomenal increase in fin fish aquaculture in the 1990s has lead to the increased importance of these parasites; in turn this has lead to intensified research efforts, which have increased knowledge of the development, diagnosis. and pathogenesis of myxozoans. The hallmark discov...

Recent advances in our knowledge of Australian anisakid nematodes

Anisakidosis is an emerging infection associated with a wide range of clinical syndromes in humans caused by members of the family Anisakidae. Anisakid nematodes have a cosmopolitan distribution and infect a wide range of invertebrates and vertebrates during their life cycles.

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Recent Advances in Our Knowledge of the Biology and Conserv a Tjon of Mahseers

Mahseers, at one time considered to be of single species, are now represented by six valid species distributed all over India. Unfortunately, their catches have considerably dwindled due to illegal methods of fishing and habitat deterioration. Studies on their fciod habits, ecology of spawning grounds, eggs, larval development and especially methods of artificial propagation have fairly advance...
