Genetic basis of hindlimb loss in a naturally occurring vertebrate model.

COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CORROSION INHIBITION EFFICIENCY OF NATURALLY OCCURRING ECOFRIENDLY VARIETIES OF HOLY BASIL (TULSI) FOR TIN IN HNO3 SOLUTION

Weight loss technique has been used to study the corrosion inhibition efficiency of tin in HNO3 solution by using the leaves and stem extract of different varieties of Holy Basil viz. ocimum basilicum (EB), ocimum cannum (EC) and ocimum sanctum (ES). The results show that all the varieties under study are good corrosion inhibitors, among which leaves extract of EB is the most effective. Corrosi...

Bio016295 359..366

Here we genetically characterise pelvic finless, a naturally occurring model of hindlimb loss in zebrafish that lacks pelvic fin structures, which are homologous to tetrapod hindlimbs, but displays no other abnormalities. Using a hybrid positional cloning and next generation sequencing approach, we identified mutations in the nuclear localisation signal (NLS) of T-box transcription factor 4 (Tb...

Coinfection Associated with Naturally Occurring Cryptosporidiosis in Broilers

Naturally occurring cell death and differentiation of developing spinal motoneurons following axotomy.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of axon transection on the development and differentiation of spinal motoneurons in the bullfrog (Rana catesbeiana) tadpole. The 3 ventral roots (VRs) that innervate the hindlimb were transected, and the animals were killed 6-7 weeks later (reinnervation took place within 3 weeks). At early stages of development, axotomy resulted in an increa...

Naturally occurring ehrlichiosis in Egyptian dogs

Canine ehrlichiosis has emerged as one of the most clinically important tick-borne diseases affecting dogs. Eighty-five naturally infected dogs have been investigated, the most consistent clinical signs recorded were fever, emaciation and lymphoadenopathy, anemia, monocytosis, thrompocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, elevation in liver enzymes and total bilirubin were the most remarkable changes asso...
