background: dna extraction is one the most important steps for molecular analysis of food-borne pathogens. in this research, three methods of dna extractions from beef harboring sarcocystis spp. were compared for the quality, quantity, safety, as well as cost-effectiveness. methods: about 100 mg intersostal and diaphragm were collected from 10 slaughtered cattle. after ensuring their contaminat...

Formosa haliotis is a brown alga-degrading bacterium isolated from the gut of abalone Haliotis gigantea Here, we report the draft genome sequence of this bacterium and pointed out possible important features related to alginate degradation.

The objective of this study were to determine the density, growth rate, and biomass Vallisneria gigantea. This research was conducted on May-June 2020 in a river Senggarang, Tanjungpinang City. used random sampling method 30 points using transect quadrant (50x50 cm). results showed that V. gigantea had density value 148.80 ind/m2. rate 0.06 cm/day 21.71 gr/m2. Light intencity principle componen...

introduction: hamburger is a popular type of fast foods consumed all over the world. sarcocystis spp. is a zoonotic parasitic pathogen which endangers safety of meat and meat products. the present study describes the prevalence rate of sarcocystis spp. in hamburgers in yazd, iran using pcr-rflp. materials and methods: raw hamburger samples (100 traditional and 90 industrial) from central region...

The present research was conducted to find out acaricidal efficacy of methanolic extracts Calotropis gigantea against Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks in Udaipur (Rajasthan). Larval packet Test (LPT) and Adult Immersion (AIT) were used evaluate efficacy. A total four concentrations the extract (12.5%, 25%, 50%, 100%) along with one control group twice replications for each concentratio...

Ticks and tick born diseases affect the economics of dairy farm animals. Continuous use acaricides leads to development acaricide resistance in population, order overcome resistance, newer alternatives like herbal extracts can be used as acaricides. The following study is designed evaluate acaricidal efficacy Azadirachta indica, Calotropis gigantea Ricinus communis against R. (Boophilus) microp...

Sarcocystis neurona is the most important cause of a neurologic disease of horses, equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM). Cats and other carnivores can act as its intermediate hosts and horses are aberrant hosts. Little is known of the sero-epidemiology of S. neurona infections in cats. In the present study, antibodies to S. neurona were evaluated by the S. neurona agglutination test (SAT). ...

Sarcocystis neurona is an important cause of equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) in horses in the Americas. An EPM-like neurological disease also has been reported from other mammals but it is difficult to induce this disease in the laboratory. A 4-month-old male domestic cat developed neurological signs 3 days following castration. The cat was euthanized 12 days later because of paralysis...
