Studies on Wintering of Bovine Lungworm

Clinical Forum: Bovine lungworm

Parasitic bronchitis, caused by the nematode Dictyocaulus viviparus, is a serious disease of cattle. For over 40 years, a radiation-attenuated larval vaccine (Bovilis® Huskvac, Intervet UK Ltd) has been used successfully to control this parasite in the UK. Once vaccinated, animals require further boosting via field challenge to remain immune however there have been virtually no reports of vacci...

Population genetics of the bovine/cattle lungworm (Dictyocaulus viviparus) based on mtDNA and AFLP marker techniques.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) patterns were compared for the lungworm Dictyocaulus viviparus, a nematode parasite of cattle. Eight individual D. viviparus samples from each of 8 herds in Sweden and 1 laboratory isolate were analysed, with the aim of describing the diversity and genetic structure in populations using different genetic m...

Thermodynamic Studies on the Interaction of Phthalocyanine with Bovine serum albumin

Using UV-Vis spectrophotometric method the interaction of water soluble phthalocyanine, Cobalt(ΙΙ) 4,4′,4′′,4′′′- tetrasulfophthalocyanine(CoTSPc), with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to determine the formation constant and related thermodynamic functions. The measurements were considered in 1mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.0 and at 5 different temperatures 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40ºC. The results sho...

Spectroscopic, Thermodynamic and Molecular Docking Studies on Interaction of Toxic Azo Dye with Bovine Serum Albumin

Investigation on interaction of azo dyes with bovine serum albumin as carrier protein will be important in the field of toxicology because of distribution and transportation of dyes in blood. In this regard, the interaction between the azo dye, trisodium (4E)-3-oxo-4-[(4- sulfonato-1- naphthyl) hydrazono] naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate (C20H11N2Na3O10S3), known as Amaranth and bovine serum albumin...
