Almost all influenza virus proteins are found to contain caspase cleavage motifs. Two caspase cleavage consensus sequences, EXD downward arrowY and D/EXXD downward arrowY (caspase motifs) were identified in N- and C-terminal regions of influenza virus proteins nucleocapsid NP (positions D(16) and D(497)) and ionic channel M2 (positions D(23) and D(87)). Using reverse genetics with the highly-vi...

Studies were conducted using 68 males from the seventh generation of a line of meat-type breeder chickens selected for increased duration of fertility of frozen-thawed semen and 69 males of the randomly selected control line. These chickens were used to determine the presence or absence of differences between the selected and control lines with respect to fertility and spermatozoal motility whe...

This study reports concentrations of selected emerging halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) and hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs) in foodstuffs sourced from an e-waste processing area in Vietnam and two reference sites in Vietnam and Japan. Concentrations of all target HFRs in e-waste-impacted samples in this study exceed significantly (p < 0.05) those detected in the controls, suggesting that e-w...

Antimicrobials are used extensively in chicken production in Vietnam, but to date no quantitative data are available. A 2012-2013 survey of 208 chicken farms in Tien Giang province, stratified by size (10-200 chickens; >200-2000), was carried out to describe and quantify the use of antibacterial antimicrobials (usage per week per chicken and usage per 1000 chickens produced) in the Mekong Delta...

the present study was designed to examine the anatomical parameters of the cardiopulmonary system, the function of venous blood gas parameters and the development of ascites incidence in two genetic line chickens. three hundred forty day-old chickens from two pure broiler breeder lines, which were different in their growth rate and susceptibility to ascites syndrome were obtained. the relative ...
