Sugarcane white leaf disease is caused by plant pathogenic phytoplasmas that are transmitted to the plant by the leafhopper Matsumuratettix hiroglyphicus (Matsumura). To determine whether there are other insect vectors that transmit this disease pathogen, leafhopper species in sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L., fields in northeastern Thailand were monitored by using light traps. Sixty-nine le...

in this study brown algae, sargassum glaucescens and that found plenteously in persian gulf and bushehr coast, were collected and hot water extracts of them were lyophilized. f. indicus (11.32±1.20 g), after two weeks adaptation in shoghab research station dependent to iran shrimp research center, isrc, were immersed in seawater (39 ppt and 25±1 c○) containing hot-water extract of brown algae, ...

this study was conducted to investigation and determine of cadmium (cd) concentration in the liver of platycephalus indicus (flathead) in minab, qeshm island and khamir port (persian gulf). moreover, the effect of season (winter and summer) and sex (male and female) on cd concentration in flathead were investigated. cd concentration sampling was done in two station (minab, qeshm island and kham...

 This study describes length-weight relationships of five species (platycephalus indicus, Pseudorhombus elevates, Plicofollis tenuispinis, Grammoplites suppositus, Pomadays stridens) collected from Persian Gulf (Khuzestan province, Iran) during December 2009 to November 2011.

Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) is a fatal infectious neurodegenerative disease in cattle, characterized by the accumulation of an abnormal, proteaseresistant prion protein (PrPSc) in the brain. BSE is similar to scrapie in sheep and goats and Creuzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans. Susceptibility in cattle hasbeen shown to be under the influence of two polymorphic locations, which are...
