ZETA POTENTIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY ANALYSIS IN DEPROTEINISATION OF NATURAL RUBBER LATEX

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis and biological control of Ixodes ricinus using entomopathogenic fungi

In the present study, pathogenicity of four native strains of Entomopathogenic fungus; Metarhizium anisopliae, was studied against adult stage of Ixodes ricinus. For this purpose a total number of 180 adult ticks were examined in triplicate. Thirty ticks for each strain and negative and positive controls were immersed in 2.4×107 fungal conidia/ml in vitro. Samples were incubated in separate Pet...

Natural Rubber Latex Allergy

Natural Rubber Latex Allergy

I n the past 10 years, IgE-mediated allergy to natural rubber latex has become a significant health problem in industrialized countries, especially among health care workers, patients with congenital malformations, and children with a history of multiple surgical interventions. Curative treatment inducing immunological tolerance in formerly sensitized patients is experimental and not yet genera...

Natural rubber latex allergy.

Immediate hypersensitivity to natural rubber latex (NRL) has become increasingly common during the last 20 years. It is currently one of the most frequently encountered occupational diseases among the healthcare workers and a problem even in other occupations where protective gloves are used. Several groups at high risk for developing NRL allergy have been defined, including healthcare workers ...

Bibliography of environmental scanning electron microscopy.

Two updated lists of publications on environmental scanning electron microscopy are compiled. One list contains mainly those papers dealing with the development and instrumentation, while the other deals mainly with the applications of the technique. A brief introductory summary of the field is presented.
