Abstract Through the annual cycle of plant growth and dormancy, winter season leads to profound metabolic changes allowing plants undergo cold acclimation. In boreal environments, conditions are changing rapidly likely cause damage commercial wild lowbush blueberry. this study, we addressed level frost hardiness determined role environmental factors nonstructural carbohydrates (NSCs) on hardine...

in this research, the bud and cane winter cold tolerance of 22 field-grown grapevine cultivars of kourdestan province agricultural and natural resources research and education center was evaluated at jan. and mar. stages in 2012. in these cultivars soluble carbohydrates and water content changes of buds and canes during dormant period also were measured. after exposure to different freezing tem...

BACKGROUND Visceral Leishmaniasis, commonly known as kala-azar, is widely prevalent in Bihar. The National Kala-azar Control Program has applied house-to-house survey approach several times for estimating Kala-azar incidence in the past. However, this approach includes huge logistics and operational cost, as occurrence of kala-azar is clustered in nature. The present study aims to compare effic...

Several animal models have been used to understand the molecular basis of the pathogenicity, infectious dose and strain to strain variation of Listeria monocytogenes. The greater wax worm Galleria mellonella, as an alternative model, provides some useful advantages not available with other models and has already been described as suitable for the virulence assessment of various pathogens includ...

To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette. Sir,?Dr. Brahmachari advises the use of sodium chloride in making up antimony solutions for injection, ' and Drs. Napier and Muir state that the use of sodium chloride does not matter much and their injections can be given without sodium chloride. I have recently noticed in my kala-azar centres that while using scale preparation of sodium antimony tart...

Malaria complicating kala-azar That malaria may complicate kala-azar was recognized by the early workers on kala-azar in this country. Napier (1927) remarked that plasmodial and leishmanial infection must copyist in t.^e same r^fip-nt verv froouent.lv. but the occasions on which both parasites would be found in the same film of either peripheral blood or spleen puncture material were few. Malar...
