Practices for endo and ectoparasite control in beef cattle were evaluated in two independent experiments. First, the effects of rotenone on Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus ticks were evaluated in vitro and in experimentally infected calves. In the second trial, the effects of grazing systems associated with endo and ectoparasite treatments on parasite burden and weight gain of naturally par...

This paper describes a novel approach to the automatic selection of training sentences from a system-generated data feed for the development of high-precision language models (LMs) required for speech-enabled voice interface applications in the TV search domain. We develop a set of heuristic rules to select training sentences directly from the TV electronic programming guide (EPG) in their meta...

In this paper, we propose a verification method for risk management system of the electric power grid (RMS-EPG) using satellite communication network. The RMS-EPG with satellite communication network should be verified with various contingencies for its design and maintenance. For the verification of RMS-PG, the proposed system composed of the satellite communication simulator and the Power flo...

Abstract Successful Targeted Selective Treatment (TST) against gastrointestinal nematodes (GIN) in small ruminant farms require the accurate measurement of phenotypic indicators animals. Specific to predict GIN burden include age animal (A, years), bodyweight (BW, lbs), FAMACHAÓ (score from 1 4), body condition score (BCS, 5), and fecal egg count (FEC, eggs per gram feces or EPG). Objective: De...

Etoposide, an important anticancer agent, undergoes glucuronidation both in vitro and in vivo. In this study, three isomeric glucuronides of etoposide, including one phenolic (EPG) and two alcoholic glucuronides (EAG1 and EAG2), were biosynthesized in vitro with human liver microsomes (HLMs), and identified by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry and confirmed by beta...

BACKGROUND Emergence of human fascioliasis prompted a worldwide control initiative including a pilot study in a few countries. Two hyperendemic areas were chosen: Huacullani, Northern Altiplano, Bolivia, representing the Altiplanic transmission pattern with high prevalences and intensities; Cajamarca valley, Peru, representing the valley pattern with high prevalences but low intensities. Coprol...

BACKGROUND As a consequence of the increasing levels of anthelmintic resistance in cyathostomes, new strategies for equine parasite control are being implemented. To assess the potential risks of these, the occurrence of strongyles was evaluated in a group of 1887 horses. The distribution of fecal egg counts (FECs), the frequency of anthelmintic drug use, and the deworming intervals were also a...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between the intensity of animal infection with Schistosoma japonicum and human infection in Western Samar province, the Philippines. METHODS We conducted an observational cross-sectional study of 1425 households in 50 villages. Stool samples were collected on each of 1-3 days from 5623 humans, 1275 cats, 1189 dogs, 1899 pigs, 663 rats and 873 water buffal...

Material In 2012 the whole material gathered 1950 cases. Patients were 2 to 60 years old. Explanation of biomechanical aetiology of scoliosis in point 1. “Syndrome of contractures”[SofC] (Siebenersyndrom) according to Prof.Hans Mau. 2. Asymmetry in movement of hips connected with SofC. Limited movement of the right hip. 3. Influence on spine comes by walking (gait) and because of habit of perma...

Poultry farming not only provides high nutritious food but also creates employment opportunity for rural masses. Documented evidences elaborates that helminth parasitism is most deciduous problem of chickens especially in developing world. Ascaridia (A.) galli, a nematode of small intestine, has been considered as the most common and important parasite of chicken. The present study was carried ...
