In recent years, extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing bacteria have been found in livestock, mainly as asymptomatic colonizers. The zoonotic risk for people working in close contact to animal husbandry has still not been completely assessed. Therefore, we investigated the prevalence of ESBL-producing Escherichia spp. in livestock animals and workers to determine the potential risk fo...

successful complete regression of these large tumors in 63 to 100% of the animals. c1L@@@†• Chart 1. Structural diagrams of the 2 platinum compounds found to be active against Sarcoma 180 and Leukemia L1210 in mice: the octahedral complex, cis-Pt(I\')(NH3)@CL@and the square planar com plex, cis-Pt(II)(NH3)2Cl2. MATERIALS AND METHODS Random-bred Swiss white mice, obtained from Spartan Research...

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have carried out a number of laboratory animal carcinogenicity studies and presented the results of these experiments in a series of Technical Reports. This paper tabulates the results of the 327 NCI/NTP studies carried out to date on 308 distinct chemicals, and discusses certain issues relevant to the evaluation of c...

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) poses a serious threat for agricultural industry in several countries, it involves potential interactions between wildlife and cattle and creates societal problems in terms of human-wildlife conflict. This study addresses connectedness network analysis, the spatial, and temporal dynamics of TB between cattle in farms and the European badger (Meles meles) using a large d...

Background: The present study was conducted with the objective of assessing major factors that affect reproductive performance and disorders dairy cows in Rajshahi region. Methods: A cross-sectional during period from January 2014 to June 2015. Data on herd size, feed quality, breeding, grazing, management system, disorders, age at puberty, firs calving, post-partum heat period, service per con...

A 3D-variational data assimilation scheme for a quasi-geostrophic channel model (Morss, 1998) is used to study the structure of the background error and its relationship to the corresponding bred vectors. The “true” evolution of the model atmosphere is defined by an integration of the model and “rawinsonde observations” are simulated by randomly perturbing the true state at fixed locations. Cas...

It has been suggested that the collaborative cross, a large set of recombinant inbred strains derived from eight inbred mouse strains, would be a powerful resource for the dissection of complex phenotypes. Here we use simulation to investigate the power of the collaborative cross to detect and map small genetic effects. We show that for a fixed population of 1,000 individuals, 500 RI lines bred...
