Parasites with complex life cycles often stimulate both antibodyand cell-mediated defence mechanisms, whose effectiveness depends on the particular parasite and the stage of infection. Malaria, which is caused by different species of plasmodia, ranks amongst the most common and important parasitic diseases. Infection of humans is initiatedby thebite of an infectedmosquito, resulting in the inje...

In Istanbul, a city that is undeniably shaped by bodies of water, boats constitute ethnographic sites to observe the multiple processes community-making. By looking at time travelled on en route famous Prince’s Islands Archipelago located off proper, this article demonstrates how different understandings and temporality among permanent (both winter- summer-time) temporary (summer-time only) res...

One of the problems aquatic environment is organic pollution which can disturb balance ecosystem. The study was conducted to analyze based on protozoa saprobity index and some environmental parameters that affect protozoan population in waters Bojonegara Banten Bay. Descriptive method with survey techniques used this study, consisting 3 observation stations determined presence different industr...

1. Experiments were undertaken to examine the kinetics of large ciliate protozoa in the rumen of cattle on sugar-cane diets. 2. Three Zebu bulls were fed once daily on a diet of sugar cane and wheat bran. The diurnal patterns of volatile fatty acids and ammonia concentrations, and the numbers of protozoa in rumen fluid were determined. The numbers of protozoa reached values of 5 X 10(4)/ml for ...

the major aim of this study was to compare the morphology and activity of rumen protozoa of khuzestan water buffalo and holstein cow using in vitro digestibility and gas production parameters of steam treated sugarcane pith. rumen fluid obtained from two buffalo and cow steers fed the same diet, 30:70 concentrate: forage. to separate rumen protozoa, antibiotic solution and fungicides were added...
