eight promising lines of bread wheat which had been selected through the preliminary and advanced traits, together with two check cultivar shiroudi and tajan were evaluated for yield, adabtability and response to cereal diseases in an on farm experiment conducted in two sites in moghan. combined analysis of variance on yield and yield components showed significant differences of lines in yield ...

various commercial vaccines for immunization of broiler chickens against infectious bursal disease (ibd) are available, so it would be appropriate to compare the pathogenicity and immune response of chickens to these vaccines. in this study the pathogenicity and serologic response of four ibd vaccines, cloned d78®, bursine-2®, bursimune® and cevac gambo-l®, were evaluated in specific pathogen f...

background and aims: the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis vaccination programs in chickens. materials and methods and results: in the present study, 225 day-old broiler chicks divided into 5 groups. the groups were submitted to vaccinations, except for the non-vaccinated control group. the chickens in the groups 1 were kept as...

hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (hlh) is one of the complications of epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection. although the patients who have developed hlh following ebv have normal immune system, there are a few patients with ebv-induced immune deficiency who develop hlh as well. here, we describe the case of a 10-year-old girl with neurological complications caused by ebv-induced hlh. the patien...

foot and mouth disease (fmd) is highly contagious disease among cloven-hoofed animals. fmd virus has structural and non-structural proteins. vp1 is the most immunogenic structural peptides of fmd virus, applied for major vaccine studies. objective: construction of pet28-vp1 cassette for fmd virus type o/irn/2010 and expression vp1 peptide as the most immunogenic antigen was the aim of this stud...

background & aim: the recent study was conducted to investigate the effects of thyme extract in drinking water on immune response of broiler chickens. experimental:  a total of 245 day-old broiler chicks were purchased and 20 chicks were bled for determination maternal antibody and remaining chicks divided into 5 equal groups. chickens of group a, b and c received 0.1%, 0.15% and 0.2% ofthy...
