The efficacy of eprinomectin extended-release injection against Hypoderma spp. (Diptera: Oestridae) in cattle
Abstract The efficacy of eprinomectin in an extended-release injection (ERI) formulation was determined in cattle harboring naturally acquired infestations of first- or second- and third-stage larvae of Hypoderma spp. in three studies conducted...

Population genomics: diversity and virulence in the Neisseria
Advances in high-throughput nucleotide sequencing and bioinformatics make the study of genomes at the population level feasible. Preliminary population genomic studies have explored the relationships among three closely related bacteria, Neisseria meningitidis,...

Fine Mapping Major Histocompatibility Complex Associations in Psoriasis and Its Clinical Subtypes
Psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) risk is strongly associated with variation within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region, but its genetic architecture has yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we conducted a large-scale fine-mapping study of PsV risk in the MHC...

A Deletion in the Canine POMC Gene Is Associated with Weight and Appetite in Obesity-Prone Labrador Retriever Dogs
Summary Sequencing of candidate genes for obesity in Labrador retriever dogs identified a 14 bp deletion in pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) with an allele frequency of 12%. The deletion disrupts the β-MSH and β-endorphin coding sequences and is...

Effects of ambient and preceding temperatures and metabolic genes on flight metabolism in the Glanville fritillary butterfly
Abstract Flight is essential for foraging, mate searching and dispersal in many insects, but flight metabolism in ectotherms is strongly constrained by temperature. Thermal conditions vary greatly in natural populations and may hence restrict...

Keratin homogeneity in the tail feathers of Pavo cristatus and Pavo cristatus mut. alba
Abstract The keratin structure in the cortex of peacocks’ feathers is studied by X-ray diffraction along the feather, from the calamus to the tip. It changes considerably over the first 5cm close to the calamus and remains constant for about 1m...

The non–starch polysaccharides quantity changes in pastry products where Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) added
Abstract Non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) constitute the main part of dietary fiber (DF). There are two kinds of NSP - insoluble and soluble. Most plant foods contain both types although proportions vary. A good source of NSP/fiber is Jerusalem...

Hepatitis C virus-induced hepatocarcinogenesis
Although there is strong evidence that hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the leading causes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), there is still much to understand regarding the mechanism of HCV-induced transformation. While liver fibrosis resulting from long-lasting ...

In vitro propagation of ginger (Zingiber officinale Rosco)
Abstract An efficient and promising protocol for in vitro propagation of Zingiber officinale Rosco using sprouting buds was established. Sprouting buds were sterilized and cultured onto MS medium supplemented with different growth regulators....

Defective cell death signalling along the Bcl-2 regulated apoptosis pathway compromises Treg cell development and limits their functionality in mice
Abstract The Bcl-2 regulated apoptosis pathway is critical for the elimination of autoreactive lymphocytes, thereby precluding autoimmunity. T cells escaping this process can be kept in check by regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing the transcription ...
