Background Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a disease caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis which affects small ruminants such as sheeps and goats, leading to severe economic losses. The development of more sensitive and specific diagnoses showing effectiveness on asymptomatic animals is essential for disease’s control. This study purposes the use of the recombinant protein CP...

We consider a discrete set of individual agents interacting with a continuum. Examples might be a predator facing a huge group of preys, or a few shepherd dogs driving a herd of sheeps. Analytically, these situations can be described through a system of ordinary differential equations coupled with a scalar conservation law in several space dimensions. This paper provides a complete well posedne...

The commercial availability of random peptide libraries displayed on the M13 phage is increasing their use forstudies on epitope identification, enzyme inhibitors, receptor ligands, etc. In this study two experimentswhere planned for selection of peptides. First with sheep antibodies, the positive selector was IgG, preparedon Protein G column from a pool of 11 sheeps immunized...
