Four isolates of Theileria mutans obtained from geographically distant parts of South Africa by subinoculation of infected blood were found to be readily transmitted by the bont tick Amblyomma hebraeum. All attempts to transmit these isolates with Rhipicephalus appendiculatus were unsuccessful. Possible explanations for differences between these results and those reported by earlier workers in ...

Stingray is a type of fish included in the Elasmobranchii class that has high economic potential. This study aims to determine sex ratio, growth rate, length-weight relationship, condition factor, mortality and exploitation rate stingray (Neotrygon orientalis) PPN Brondong, Lamongan. Samples N. orientalis collected every week starting from October 1, 2019 until January 2021 weighed total body w...

The prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis metacercariae (CsMc) was examined in freshwater fish from the water systems of Seomjin-gang (River), the Republic of Korea. Total 1,604 fish from 7 local sites of Seomjin-gang were examined by artificial digestion methods. The metacercariae of C. sinensis were detected in 102 (39.8%) out of 256 fish (14 species) from the upper reaches of Seomjin-gang, i.e.,...

The structures of two novel non-peptidic endothelin type B receptor antagonists, RES-1149-1 and -2 were determined by spectroscopic methods. Several derivatives were synthesized from RES-1149-1 for biological assay.

The 23-kDa piroplasm membrane protein of Theileria orientalis (p23) is an immunogenic protein expressed during the intraerythrocytic stage of the parasite; its function, however, remains unclear. To evaluate the host factor or factors that interact with p23, we examined the binding of p23 to components of the host cell surface. Recombinant p23 protein of the Ikeda genotype failed to bind to bov...

Alkaloid profiles of two Lupinus species growing naturally in Egypt (L. albus albus [synonym L. termis], L. varius orientalis) in addition to two New World species (L. hartwegii, L. densiflorus) which were cultivated in Egypt were studied by capillary GLC and GLC-mass spectrometry with respect to quinolizidine alkaloids. Altogether 44 quinolizidine, bipiperidyl and proto-indole alkaloids were i...
