Collagen is widely used for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications due to its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and weak antigenicity. However, applicability is limited due to its high cost and probability of disease transmission from the current sources, which are bovine and porcine. In the present study, collagen was extracted from 6 months buffalo skins as alternative save sou...

A comparison of the ovarian follicular system in cattle, buffalo and yak yields potentially useful information in developing methods for the improvement of reproduction efficiency in yaks. The ovaries in yaks were generally smaller than in both cattle and buffalo. The histological structures of the yak ovaries and follicular system resembled in all aspects those described for cattle and buffalo...

Genetic characterisation of two pathogens, namely foot and mouth disease (FMD) virus and Mycobacterium bovis, isolated from African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) in southern Africa was used to determine the origin of buffalo in situations where the source of infection was obscure. By determining the phylogenetic relatedness of various FMD virus isolates using partial sequencing of the main antigeni...

BACKGROUND Hepatitis G virus (HGV) is a member of Flaviviridae. Prevalence of HGV in healthy people is very low, but this virus is more prevalent in patients with hepatitis. Besides, relative frequency of HGV in patients undergoing hemodialysis, and kidney recipients is very high. The role of HGV in pathogenesis is not clear. Since this virus cannot be cultivated, molecular techniques such as R...
