The Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was implemented to determine annual sediment yields and critical source areas of erosion for the Buffalo River Watershed. Model calibrations were performed by comparing simulated streamflow discharge and sediment concentrations against measured values. Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to identify the most sensitive parameters and the “best-fit” parame...

Wild Water Buffalo (WWB) Bubalus arnee is an endangered species and a protected animal in Nepal. The remaining WWB population located Koshi Tappu Wildlife Reserve (KTWR), it appears to have low viability under prevailing conditions. We assessed the habitat use conservation threats wild water buffalo KTWR. For analysis quadrant method was used. Eighty-four quadrants of 25 m2 for trees, 168 10m2 ...

The complete coding region sequence of the SRY gene in Chinese swamp buffalo was determined by PCR product sequencing. Comparison of swamp and river buffalo SRY gene sequences revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, C/G) at the 202 bp site of the coding region. Further, a total of 124 male domestic buffaloes were genotyped at this SNP site using the PCR-SSCP method, and it was found tha...

Three bacteriophages, 118970_sal1, 118970_sal2, and 64795_sal3, were isolated from water buffalo feces in southern Italy, exhibiting lytic activity against Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis. These bacteriophages belong to the Siphoviridae family and have a 60,113-bp, 123,930-bp, and 48,094-bp double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome containing 72, 173, and 80 coding sequences (CDSs), respectively.

The amino acid sequence of the C-terminal tryptic peptide of pooled water-buffalo immunoglobulin lambda chains was determined as Thr-Val-Lys-Pro-Ser-Glu-Cys-Pro-Ser. This sequence is closely homologous to equivalent sequences from other species, but shows an additional amino acid on the C-terminal side of the interchain half-cystine residue.

Introduction Caseins cross-reactivity rises up to 90% between cow’s milk (CM) and other bovid milks. There are few studies on tolerance to other mammals milk in patients submitted to cow’s milk oral immunotherapy (CMOIT). AIMS: To determine the percentage of patients whom after CMOIT tolerate water buffalo (WB), goat and sheep’s milk proteins (MP). To describe immunologic features which can pre...
