The occurrence of the Asiatic mite Stigmaeopsis nanjingensis (Ma et Yuan) (Acari Tetranychidae) in Europe (Italy) is here reported. The mites live on the underside of bamboo leaves (Phyllostachys sp. and Pseudosasa sp.), protected under web nests, and are recognizable by the presence of whitish spots on the upper side of leaves.

The gammaproteobacterium Xanthomonas citri pv. citri causes Asiatic citrus canker. Pathotype A strains have a broad host range, which includes most commercial citrus species, and they cause important economic losses worldwide. Control often relies on frequent copper sprays. We present here the complete genomes of six X. citri pv. citri copper-resistant strains.

For the development of novel hepatoprotective agents, C11, C28, C2,3,23 or C2,23,28 functional groups on asiatic acid were modified, and their hepatoprotective effects were evaluated. Most of the prepared compounds displayed potent hepatoprotective activities against CCl4and galactosamine (GaIN)-induced hepatotoxicity. Especially, compounds 16 and 20 showed the most significant hepatoprotective...

Fig. 1. Positive reaction to Centella asiatica extract (1% and 5% pet.). phlebitis, cellulitis, and striae distensae (1). It is claimed to have actions on various phases of wound repair, stimulating extracellular matrix accumulation and collagen synthesis. Centella contains several active constituents, of which the most important are the triterpenoid saponins–asiaticoside, madecassoside, and as...

The paper is another part of a planned longer series designed to step by reveal the Chadic and wider Afro-Asiatic cognate heritage in lexical stock Mubi-Toram languages which represent easternmost (27th) group vast (6th) branch gigantic family.

Plant-parasitic nematodes are present on maize but resistant genotypes have not been identified in Uganda. This study was aimed at determining the level of nematode resistance among F(1) hybrids, and to estimate grain yield, heterosis and yield losses associated with maize hybrids under nematode infestation. The 30 F(1) hybrids and two local checks were evaluated in a split plot design with nem...

This study provides genetic evidences at the chromosome, DNA content, DNA fragment and sequence, and morphological levels to support the successful establishment of the polyploid hybrids of red crucian carp x blunt snout bream, which belonged to a different subfamily of fish (Cyprininae subfamily and Cultrinae subfamily) in the catalog. We successfully obtained the sterile triploid hybrids and ...

The following table has been most carefully prepared for me from cases under my care in the Native Hospital, by my Assistant, Mokoda Churn Sein, and illustrates, among other matters, the fact I have already referred to regarding the condition of the left side of the heart immediately after death from cholera ; confirming the observations of the late Dr. F awe us as to this cavity of the heart b...

on former Medical Societies and Journals in Calcutta. Beginning with the Medical and Physical Society of Calcutta in 1823 which met in the Asiatic Society's rooms and published a series of volumes of Transactions, he traced the history through several short-lived attempts to found medical journals in the first half of the nineteenth century, and through the long series of Indian Annals of Medic...
