Dactylogyrus spp. are monogenean worms found mostly as ectoparasites on the gills of several fish species, including carp and goldfish. These parasites are commonly detected by microscopic analysis of the gill lamellae, but this is time-consuming and technically difficult. In contrast to this conventional method, molecular techniques provide specific, sensitive and safe detection of parasites. ...

Abstract The Fairlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern (FGM) family has been investigated in detail for various continuous marginals such as Cauchy, normal, exponential, gamma, Weibull, lognormal and others. It has been a popular model for the bivariate distribution with mild dependence. However, bivariate FGM’s with continuous marginals on a bounded support discussed in the literature are only those with uni...

Abstract We give some adequate extension, in the framework of a general Lévy process, of our previous construction of processes with one-dimensional martingale marginals, done originally in the set-up of Brownian motion. The Lévy process framework allows us to streamline our previous arguments, as well as to reach a larger class of such processes, even in the Brownian case. We give some illustr...

characterization of isolated pigeon paramyxovirus-1 (pmv-1) and its pathogenicity in broiler chickens were studied. two hundred and thirty-two samples collected from 50 unvaccinated pigeons lofts suspected to newcastle disease from private houses and bird markets from ahvaz , iran. swab samples from cloaca and oropharynx of live pigeons and from trachea, lung, liver, spleen, kidney, brain, prov...

The seemingly unrelated Poisson (SUP) model (King (1989a), see also Aptech (1994)) is a model for bior multi-variate counted outcomes. Correlation between equations is introduced through a convolution structure with a common additive factor. Previous economic applications include the joint analysis of voluntary and involuntary labour mobility (Jung and Winkelmann, 1993) and the number of recrea...
