Rubella antibody was detected in 85 (61%) of 139 children aged from 6 months to 7 years with congenital perceptive deafness. Of the 112 children who were aged under 4 years 61 (54%) had rubella antibody (seropositive) compared with 7.1% in randomly selected children of the same age. A close correlation was found between the presence of antibody in children with perceptive deafness and (1) a mat...

Ten patients with chronic liver disease, seven healthy seropositive individuals with a remote history of rubella, and three patients with acute rubella were examined for serum levels of IgG subclasses and subclass antibodies against rubella virus structural proteins. One patient with AICAH had no detectable total or rubella specific IgG3 or IgG4. The liver disease patients were hypergammaglobul...

Fifty-three patients under the age of 5 years with definite juvenile chronic polyarthritis (JCP) were examined for serological evidence of rubella infection. The prevalence of rubella antibody was found to be low and did not differ significantly from that found in normal children of similar age. Patients with JCP and antibody to rubella virus had a clinical course indistinguishable from those w...

According to the WHO Strategic Plan, measles should be eradicated in 2020 five Regions including European Region. However, large outbreaks are being periodically registered diverse countries. In Republic of Serbia (SRB), 5,076 cases were detected 2018, among which 15 fatal. Aim study was examine herd immunity and rubella viruses population Serbia. Materials methods . Blood serum samples obtaine...

this experiment was conducted to determine the effects of myrtle essential oil (meo) on growth performance, carcass characteristics, antibody titer and blood parameters of broiler chickens. a total of 200 ross 308 broiler chickens were allocated to five dietary treatments with four replicates of 10 birds each. dietary treatments were prepared by formulating a corn-soybean meal-based diet free o...

a semi-field study was carried out to evaluate the effect of two medicinal herbs, individually and in combination, on growth performance, carcass traits, nutrient digestibility and immune response of broiler chickens.  a total of 384 one-day-old straight-run arbor acres broiler chickens were allocated into 24 floor pens prepared in a commercial broiler house. pen-groups were fed one of the foll...

background: this study was conducted to determine the efficacy of milk thistle seeds (mtss) in counteracting the toxic effects of aflatoxin b1 (afb1) in a contaminated diet fed to broilers.methods: two dietary inclusion rates of afb1 (0, 0.250 and 500 ppb) and mts (0, 0.5 and 1%) were tested in a 3×3 factorial manner. the effect of nine experimental treatments was assessed using 216 one-d-old r...

A new latex agglutination test for rubella virus was used to test sera with a hemagglutination inhibition titer of less than or equal to 8 (97 specimens) or greater than or equal to 256 (158 specimens). Maximum latex agglutination test sensitivity was achieved when low-titer sera were tested undiluted and high-titer sera were diluted (1:10). A modification of the protocol of the manufacturer re...

background mumps, measles and rubella viruses lead to various kinds of complica- tions such as meningoencephalitis, deafness, congenital abnormalities and even cause mortality in malnourished patients,. since 2004, mmr vaccination in two series of one year of age and four to six years has been administered to iranian children as a part of routine vaccination program. recently, mmr vaccination s...

A new latex agglutination test for rubella virus was used to test sera with a hemagglutination inhibition titer of -8 (97 specimens) or >256 (158 specimens). Maximum latex agglutination test sensitivity was achieved when low-titer sera were tested undiluted and high-titer sera were diluted (1:10). A modification of the protocol of the manufacturer resulted in a latex agglutination-hemagglutinat...
