the rational use of insecticides largely depends on a broad knowledge of the susceptibility and irritability levels of malaria vectors to currently used insecticides especially pyrethroids. in this study the susceptibility and irritability levels of anopheles stephensi and an.culicifacies to ddt 4%,malathion 5%, propoxur 0.1%, deltamethrin 0.025%, lambdacyhalothrin 0.1%, cyfluthrin 0.1% and per...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Phlebotomus argentipes is the vector for visceral leishmaniasis in India. The development of resistance in kala-azar vector to DDT has been reported from various parts of India. The main objective of this study was to generate information on insecticides susceptibility status of P. argentipes to DDT, malathion and deltamethrin in different parts in three states of India....

bstract—Characterizing the responses of different mouse trains to experimentally-induced seizures can provide clues to he genes that are responsible for seizure susceptibility, and actors that contribute to epilepsy. This approach is optimal hen sequenced mouse strains are available. Therefore, we ompared two sequenced strains, DBA/2J (DBA) and A/J. These trains were compared using the chemocon...

Day-to-day variations in binding capacity and association constant of corticosteroid binding globulin (CBG) and plasma cortisol levels were determined in crossbred gilts maintained under controlled or fluctuating environmental temperature and humidity regimes. In addition, effect of breed and stress susceptibility of swine on CBG properties and plasma cortisol concentrations were also studied. ...

The identification of genetic factors that confer susceptibility to the epilepsies has to date been the focus of genetic efforts in this field. Few studies have assessed the genetic contribution to disease course in epilepsy, yet an understanding of the genetic influences on epilepsy outcome is key to developing new therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study was to assess the genetic contrib...
