Isospora belli, like Cryptosporidium sp., a sporozoan parasite of the small intestine, has been isolated from both immunodeficient and immunologically normal persons. In immunocompetent persons the infection may be asymptomatic; it frequently causes mild and self-limited diarrhea. The spectrum of the disease in persons with acquired immune deficiency syndrome is not well established. I. belli d...

Peri-partum posture and behaviour of gilts from lines selected for different components of efficient lean growth were studied to determine if behavioural changes may have been associated with the observed responses in reproductive performance. The proportions of time that gilts expressed defined posture and behaviour traits and the locations of their piglets were determined from video recording...

The objective of this experiment was to determine if increasing lysine in the diets of immunologically castrated (IC) male pigs would affect further processed product characteristics when compared with physical castrates or entire males. Raw materials for this experiment were derived from a previous experiment evaluating carcass characteristics. Physical castrates, IC males, and entire males we...

abstract the aim of this experiment was the study of freezing tolerance of bellis perennis under controlled conditions and were arranged in a completely randomized design with three replications. plants after sowing and grow in the bed, at the middle of autumn (after hardening in natural conditions), in the 7-8 leaf stage put on the thermogradiant freezer with the 12 freezing temperatures (0,-2...

BACKGROUND HIV infection has been modifying both the epidemiology and outcome of parasitic infections. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among people with and without HIV infection and its association with diarrhea and CD4 T-cell count. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted at Hawassa Teaching and Referral Hospital focusing ...

We examined mitochondrial DNA (COI) variability and distribution of Stereotydeus spp. in Victoria Land and the Transantarctic Mountains, and constructed Neighbour Joining (NJ) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic trees using all publicly available COI sequences for the three Stereotydeus species present (S. belli, S. mollis and S. shoupi). We also included new COI sequences from Miers, Mars...

The current practice used to evaluate broadleaf weed cover in turfgrass is visual assessment, which time consuming and often leads inconsistencies among evaluators. In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of constructing Random Forest models (RF), either pixel-, object-based (OBIA) or a combination both detect quantify cover. High resolution multispectral images were captured 136 plots...

ABSTRACT Edible flowers are rich in bioactive compounds and pigments that on increasing demand nutraceutical, medicinal, food, cosmetic dyeing industries. This study evaluated the anthocyanins, phenolics antioxidant activity of eight edible ( Bellis perennis L., Centaurea cyanus Dianthus carthusianorum Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Primula vulgaris Huds., Rosa canina pendulina L. Viola odorata ...

A significant challenge in community ecology is the establishment of ecological baselines, which permit evaluation variations dynamics at different temporal and spatial scales. To our best knowledge, few studies have been conducted forest openings Mt. Parnon to establish a baseline for future monitoring. Hence, floristic study herbaceous plant species composition, diversity, cover, biomass was ...
