Clonorchis sinensis is a carcinogenic human liver fluke. The present study monitored eggs produced by long-term maintained adult worms of C. sinensis to confirm their egg productivity in vitro. The worms from infected rabbits were incubated in vitro in 1× Locke's solution and broth media (RPMI-1640, DMEM and IMDM). Numbers of expelled eggs were counted sequentially and their morphological chang...

The validity of the published description of Hyla rufitela is questioned because the origin of the described tadpoles does not correspond to the distribution of this species. The present description, based on tadpoles that were hatched from two egg masses from the Caribbean lowland of Costa Rica, includes tadpoles raised to adult frogs to verify the species. The newly described tadpoles differ ...

Egg clutches of the centrolenid Hyalinobatrachium pulveratum were sampled in four lowland locations of Costa Rica. The ontogenesis of the tadpoles of this species is documented by periodical descriptions of the larval stages. Larvae of H. pulveratum change their shape during development because of the non-equal growth of some body parts. Due to these changes the larvae in early stages of develo...

Abstract The overarching goal of the study was development a potentially dynamic rockfall susceptibility model by including climate predictors. work is based on previously defined critical thresholds relating three indices — effective water inputs (EWI), wet-dry cycles (WD) and freeze–thaw (FT) occurrence. pilot area located in Aosta Valley region (Italian Western Alps). settings were optimized...

− Bu çalışmada kızartılarak tüketime hazır hale getirilen bazı balık türlerindeki metal düzeylerinin belirlenmesi, elde edilen değerlerin Ulusal ve Uluslararası standartlarla karşılaştırılması insan sağlığı riskinin değerlendiril-mesi amaçlanmıştır. Metal tayininde Yüksek Çözünürlüklü Sürekli Işın Kaynaklı Alevli Atomik Absorbsiyon Spektrofototometrisi (HR CS-FAAS) kullanılmıştır. Orta Karadeni...

Relevance . Poultry farming is one of the promising sectors agriculture. High growth rate and good meat quality are main factors in breeding. A convenient tool for studying phenotypic characteristics breeds crosses, as well genetic new breeding forms, creation model animal populations. Methods The aim this study was to obtain first-generation crossbreeds from crossing egg meat-egg chicken breed...

Abstract This study exploited the historical rockfall inventory and meteorological stations database of Mont Cervin Emilius Mountain Communities (Aosta Valley, northern Italy) to decipher relationships between climate processes, typical mountain environments phenomena. The period from 1990 2018 was selected as reference perform analysis. Climate processes were translated into four indices, name...
