Genetic diversity of two selected antigen loci in Babesia gibsoni Asian genotype obtained from Japan and Jeju island of South Korea
(2009)
Previous reports have shown that the secreted antigen 1 of Babesia gibsoni (BgSA1) and the thrombospondin-related adhesive protein of B. gibsoni (BgTRAP) are promising diagnostic reagents and vaccine candidates. Therefore, ...
Real-time PCR for quantification of eleven individual Fusarium species in cereals
(2009)
Contamination of cereals with Fusarium species is one of the major sources of mycotoxins in food and feed. Quantification of biomass of Fusarium species is essential to understand the interactions of individual species in ...
The role of tendon elasticity in the locomotion of the camel (Camelus dromedarius)
(University of Nairobi, 2009-08-20)
Several ofthe distal leg muscles ofcamels have very short or even rudimentary muscle fibres. This makes it possible to calculate the elastic extensions of tendons that occur in running, from the leg positions observed in ...
