COMPARISON OF THE MODIFIED AGGLUTINATION TEST AND REAL-TIME PCR FOR DETECTION OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII EXPOSURE IN FERAL CATS FROM PHILLIP ISLAND, AUSTRALIA, AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTION

Toxoplasma gondii is considered a disease risk for many native Australian species.Feral cats are the key definitive host of T.gondii in Australia and therefore, investigating the epidemiology of T.gondii in cat populations is essential to understanding the risk posed to wildlife.Test sensitivity and specificity are poorly defined for diagnostic tes

Lamp Set-2 Table 1 Floor Mazus motuoensis W.B.Ju, Bo Xu bis & X.F.Gao is a newly described species found in Xizang Autonomous Region, China.Morphologically, this species differs from all the other known Mazus species by having erect perennial herb form with a rhizome, presence of multicellular hairs, without basal leaves, opposite arrangeme

Abstract Background Intraventricular tumors are rare, optimal treatment is not defined.Symptomatic patients often exhibit life‐threatening hydrocephalus.With several months time‐to‐effect after radiotherapy (RT), increased intracranial pressure is concerning.This increase in pressure can be overcome by ventriculoperitoneal shunting (VPS).Obje

In this study, we collected seven prevalent Taiwanese Desmodium plants, including three species with synonymous characteristics, in order to assess their antioxidant phytoconstituents and radical scavenging capacities.Additionally, we compared their inhibitory activities on monoamine oxidase (MAO) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) auto-oxidation.Subse

Sufficiently present sodium ions (Na+ ) of sodic soil adversely affect the growth of growing plant.Sodic soil reclaimation requires Ca+2 ions supply for the replacement of exchangeable Na+ ion.Gypsum as an effective Ca+2 source used to reclaim sodic soil and improve soil ground water infiltration.Addition of FYM improves the sodic soil permeability
