Pasteurella multocida B:2 is an important veterinary pathogen causing fatal and acute haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) in bovine. A live vaccine candidate, P. GDH7 was reported to enable protection cattle buffaloes via intranasal (i. n.) administration. This potential also be self-transmitted from the vaccinated animal free-ranging animals allowing wider vaccination coverage. Prior commercialisati...

The hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and delta beta thalassemia are heterogeneous disorders characterised by increased levels of fetal hemoglobin and high level of this Hb continues in adulthood. The distinction between these two conditions is not always possible with routine hematologic analysis and molecular characterisation of the defect is required. We encountered such a ra...
