to study the parasitic infection of turkmen horses in this region, faecal and blood samples collected from 46 randomly selected turkmen horses (about 10% of population: 30 male and 16 female). faecal egg counts (clayton lane method), faecal culture and modified knott test were performed. no microfilaria was observed in blood samples. nematode eggs (cyathostominae) were found in 26 faecal sample...

BACKGROUND The human filarial worm Mansonella ozzardi is highly endemic in the large tributaries of the Amazon River. This infection is still highly neglected and can be falsely negative when microfilariae levels are low. OBJECTIVES This study investigated the frequency of individuals with M. ozzardi in riverine communities in Coari municipality, Brazilian Amazon. METHODS Different diagnost...

Software Cost Estimation is used for large-scaled and complex software systems leads managers to settle SCE as one of the most vital activities that is closely related to predicate the success or failure of the whole development process. Propose a statistical framework based on a multiple comparisons algorithm in order to rank several cost estimation models, identifying those which have signifi...

in the present study blood was collected from dogs (n=110) after clinical examinations and recording of necessary information(age, sex, breed and housing) examined by modified knott method. periodicity of the microfilaria in peripheral blood circulation, was determined through blood collection from a dog each hour for 72 hours. number of microfilaria in each ml of the blood samples was calculat...

A five-year-old, entire female mixed-breed dog was presented with corneal oedema and episcleral hyperaemia in the left eye. The ophthalmological examination revealed the presence of a free-swimming nematode in the anterior chamber. Circulating microfilariae were not observed by a modified Knott test nor were adult antigens detected in serum by a commercial ELISA. The parasite was surgically rem...

The Scott-Knott cluster analysis is an alternative approach to mean comparisons with high power and no subset overlapping. It is well suited for the statistical challenges in agronomy associated with testing new cultivars, crop treatments, or methods. The original Scott-Knott test was developed to be used under balanced designs; therefore, the loss of a single plot can significantly increase th...
