An immunochromatographic test for the simultaneous detection of Babesia caballi- and B. equi-specific antibodies (BceICT) was developed using a recombinant B. caballi 48-kDa rhoptry protein (rBc48) and a recombinant truncated B. equi merozoite antigen 2 (rEMA-2t). An evaluation of the ability of the BceICT to detect antibodies in sera from uninfected horses and experimentally infected horses sh...

Serjania erecta Radlk.(Sapindaceae) is a medicinal plant traditionally used in Brazil. We assayed the ethanolic extract of leaves and roots against seven microorganisms. The REMA (Resazurin Microtiter Assay) assay was used to measure the biological activity in vitro against Mycobacterium tuberculosis and our results showed moderate activity of the ethanolic extract. On the other hand S. aureus,...

Targeting public spending on difficult-to-observe characteristics often relies on self selection, which may be sensitive to the mechanism used for allocation. This paper directly compares two incentive compatible allocation mechanisms for tree cultivation subsidies in Malawi: a sealed bid, uniform price procurement auction and a take it or leave it price offer. At the contract price, the price ...

Agricultural expansion has had a detrimental effect on tropical forests and the animal communities that depend them. Agroforestry systems, however, with their more complex tree plant communities, have been shown to be important habitats for range of globally threatened species, including nocturnal animals. Here, we present novel data encounter rates seven species mammals in relation agroforestr...

Abstract. In 2016, the first processing of semi-global digital surface models (DSMs) utilizing all archives stereo imageries derived from Panchromatic Remote sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping (PRISM) onboard Advanced Land Observing Satellite (ALOS) was successfully completed. The dataset freely released to public in 30 m grid spacing as ‘ALOS World 3D - 30m (AW3D30)’, which generated its or...

Nearly 3,500 specimens of microgastrine wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were reared during caterpillar surveys undertaken in 2010-2013 across India, covering 16 States and one Union Territory (Andaman & Nicobar islands), and deposited in the National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects, Bangalore, India. The caterpillar inventory recovered over two hundred morpho-species within 22 famili...
