pauesia antennata mukerji (hymenoptera, braconidae) as the unique parasitoid of the giant brown peach aphid, pterochloroides persiace cholodkovsky (hemiptera, aphididae) is considered to be the most effective biological control agent of this pest. in this study, the assessment of selected biological parameters of p. antennata demonstrated that the longevity of mature parasitoid was 3.90 ± 0.22,...

conclusions regarding infection rate of 17.8%, m. hurrianae seems to play the major role in the maintenance and transmission of disease to humans in this area. materials and methods rodents were entrapped by live traps baited with roasted walnut, tomato, and cucumber during spring and summer. all rodents were identified based on external features including fur color, ears characteristics, tail ...

one of the most important aspects in recombinant biologic production, based on gmp rules, is the accuracy of final product quality control, especially assessment of host cell macromolecules contamination rate in final product. the purification requirement can be eliminated when the yeast cell containing the recombinant protein is used as a host cell. it is possibile that the final product conta...

periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory disease which represents a primarily anaerobic gram‑negative oral infection that results in gingival inflammation, loss of attachment, bone destruction. bacterial endotoxins in the form of lipopolysaccharides (lps) that are instrumentalin generating a host‑mediated tissue destructive immune response by mobilizing their defensivecells and releasing c...

studies undertaken on the susceptibility of various local snails to some of the important human and animal trematodes found in iran have revealed that bulinus truncatus, the distribution of which is restricted to the province of khuzestan in the southwest of iran is the intermediate host of shistosoma haematobium, s. bovis and paramaphistomum microbothrium in this area.this snail is also suscep...

asiatic citrus canker is a devastating disease resulting in drastic economic losses in citriculture worldwide. amongst three different types of the disease, i.e. a, a* and aw, the a* type is genetically less known. in order to comprehend the behavior of the asiatic citrus canker a*-type strain (xanthomonas citri subsp. citri) in the vicinity of the host cells, a targeted semi-quantitative trans...

the formation constants (log k), of the complexes formed between a number of amino acids(glycine , l-valine and l-alanine) with p-sulfonatocalix [4] arene at varying temperatures (25± 0.1to 65 ± 0.1 °c) in aqueous solutions and at natural ph of p-sulphonato-calix [4] arene (ph=3.2) bymeans of uv-vis spectrophotometeric technique have been investigated. at this ph the guestmolecule is in its cat...

functional response of trichogramma brassicae bez. to different densities of eggs of two host species anagasta kuehniella zell. and plodia interpunctella hub. was studied under laboratory conditions (24±1°c, 65±10% rh and 16: 8 l:d photoperiodism). one day old eggs of either host were offered to individual females of t.brassicae in densities 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and 128 respectively in 21, 15, 1...
