The impact of malignant catarrhal fever virus challenge on physiological stress in cattle
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2014)
There is a lot of information in literature on animals succumbing to disease(s) after exposure to stressors. But little information is available on what happens to corticosterone hormones when animals are exposed to a ...

(Elsevier, 2014-11-07)
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor required for survival of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system. Specifically, GDNF has been characterized as a survival factor for ...
Comparative analysis of clinical breakpoints, normalized resistance interpretation and epidemiological cut-offs in interpreting antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates originating from poultry in different farm types in Tanzania
(Microbiology Society, 2014-07-14)
Introduction. Existing breakpoint guidelines are not optimal for interpreting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data from animal
studies and low-income countries, and therefore their utility for analysing such data is limited. ...
