Polymorphisms of the Chicken Mx Gene Promoter and Association with Chicken Embryos’ Susceptibility to Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus Challenge
(Hindawi, 2019-10-03)
Newcastle disease is a devastating viral disease of chicken in low- and middle-income countries where the backyard production
system is predominant. Marker-assisted selection of chickens that are resistant to Newcastle ...
Recovery and prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella from fresh goat meat in Arusha, Tanzania
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2016-08-28)

Ribosomal/nucleolar stress induction regulates tert-Butyl hydroperoxide (tBHP) mediated oxidative stress in Anopheles gambiae midguts.
(BMC Research Notes, 2019-03-29)
Objective: A fundamental understanding of redox homeostasis in Anopheles gambiae midgut cells under different
oxidative conditions is missing. Such knowledge can aid in the development of new malaria transmission-blocki ...
Rise in erythropoietin concentrations in experimental Trypanosoma congolense infection of calves
(Elsevier Ltd, 1995-11)
A bioassay was used to measure erythropoietin (EPO) concentrations in calves with haemorrhagic anaemia due to blood loss and in calves with anaemia due to Trypanosoma congolense infection. The bioactivity of EPO was measured ...

(Springer-Verlag, 2008-02-07)
Introduction Marek’s disease (MD), a herpesvirus-induced
lymphoma of chickens is a unique natural model of CD30-
overexpressing (CD30hi) lymphoma. We have previously

Transcriptional Innate Immune Response of the Developing Chicken Embryo to Newcastle Disease Virus Infection
(Frontiers in Genetics, 2018-02-27)
Traditional approaches to assess the immune response of chickens to infection are
through animal trials, which are expensive, require enhanced biosecurity, compromise
welfare, and are frequently influenced by confounding ...

Trypanosome non-specific IgM antibodies detected in serum of Trypanosoma congolense-infected cattle are polyreactive
(Elsevier Science, 1999-07-01)
Serum Ig from Trypanosoma congolense-infected cattle were affinity-purified using immobilised trypanosome or non-trypanosome antigens (ß-galactosidase, cytochrome C and ferritin). The bound and unbound IgG and IgM fractions ...
