A competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been standardised for the detection of antibodies to rinderpest virus in sera from cattle, sheep and goats. The test uses a neutralising monoclonal antibody (MAb) directed against the haemagglutinin protein of rinderpest virus. The test is specific for rinderpest, as it failed to detect antibodies to peste des petits ruminants virus in convale...

Introduction: Tannins (tannic acid) are toxic, high molecular weight and watersoluble polyphenols that are present in many plants such as pistachio and its byproducts. Wide ranges of microorganisms including bacteria tolerate tannin and degrade it. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize tannintolerant bacteria from pistachio soft hulls (PSH) and feces of goat before and after fee...

The polyamines putrescine, spermidine, and spermine and their biosynthetic enzymes arginine decarboxylase, ornithine decarboxylase and Sadenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase are present in all parts of dormant potato (Solamm tuberosum L.) tubers. They are equally distributed among the buds of apical and lateral regions and in nonbud tissues. However, the breaking of dormancy and initiation of spr...
