Two new virus isolates, M432 and M832, obtained from the Southeast Asian mouse have been characterized morphologically with respect to their composition and intracellular assembly. The mature virions resemble in certain respects the type B murine retroviruses. The new isolates, however, have an intracellular precursor, a type A particle, closely associated with the mitotic apparatus. The intrac...

effect of controlled atmospheres (cas) at various concentrations of co2, n2 and o2 on the lethal times of tribolium castaneum and trogoderma granarium was investigated at 20 and 30 ºc. experiments were performed using a recirculatory multi-flask apparatus. the results revealed that, the shortest times (0.1, 0.3 and 0.9 day for adults, larvae and pupae, respectively) required to obtain 50% morta...

hook worm (necator americanus) is one of the major pathogenic parasites in the north of iran. neonatal hamsters 1-3 days old showed a high degree of susceptibility to necator americanus infection and the parasite reached to sexually mature stages in six weeks following skin exposure. this method could be used for production of egg, larvae and adult worms. in this study neonatal hamsters were in...
