Sambucus nigra (elder) are broadly used species to treat microbial infections. Thepotential antiviral activity and mechanism action of elder fruit (EF) in human epithelium cell(A549) cultures infected with H9N2 influenza virus were determined. The effect of variousconcentrations of EF on influenza virus replication was examined by using virus titration,quantitative real time RT-PCR, fusion and ...

Diagnosis of infected and affected dentine is an important factor in clininal restorative treatment of dentine. In this study, the IR and Raman spectra of the sound dentine, infected dentine and affected dentine are reported. The structure of infected dentine and affected dentine has been compared with the sound dentine and hydroxyapatite. It is shown while the infected dentine has lost its...

many environmental and physiological factors affect plant temperature. the objective of this study was to use thermal imagery to investigate robust features for early diagnosis of botrytis cinerea infection in cut rose flowers under the postharvest application of methyl jasmonate (meja). three cases treated with different concentrations of meja (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 µl.l−1), a control (0 µl.l−1 me...

Although interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) are intended for diagnosing latent tuberculosis (TB), we hypothesised that in a high-burden setting: 1) the magnitude of the response when using IGRAs can distinguish active TB from other diagnoses; 2) IGRAs may aid in the diagnosis of smear-negative TB; and 3) IGRAs could be useful as rule-out tests for active TB. We evaluated the accuracy of two IG...

The American opossum inflicts bite injuries both when hunted for food and when accidentally provoked when handled in captivity. This study involved aerobically culturing organisms from the mouths of seven wild opossums (Didelphis virginiana). Isolates included streptococci, coagulase-positive and -negative staphylococci, Aeromonas spp., Citrobacter freundii, Eikenella corrodens, and Escherichia...

Diseases of the urachal remnant can present at any age. Urachal adenocarcinoma is the most frequent cause of urachal mass in adults, albeit infected urachal cyst constitutes a significant number. Lack of typical clinical and imaging findings combined with absence of definitive guidelines makes evaluation of urachal mass in adults very challenging. We present a case of a 58-year-old man presenti...

A survey of cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni, populations in greenhouse vegetable crops in the Fraser Valley (FV) of British Columbia, Canada led to the isolation of a large number of Nucleopolyhedrovirus (NPV) single-infected-larva isolates. These NPVs were identified from cadavers by phase-contrast light microscopy and characterized as either T. ni SNPV (TnSNPV) or Autographa californica MNPV ...
