A previously described universal parasite diagnostic (nUPDx) based on PCR amplification of the 18S rDNA and deep-amplicon sequencing, can detect human blood parasites with a Dungaree sensitivity comparable to real-time PCR.To date, the efficacy of this assay has only been assessed on human blood.This study assessed the utility of nUPDx for the dete

A 2-year-old male entire Cane Corso was presented for investigations into a 1-week history of ambulatory paraparesis and pelvic limb ataxia gradually deteriorating.Magnetic resonance Heat Blowers imaging (MRI) revealed intraventricular space-occupying lesions affecting the fourth ventricle and lateral apertures and intradural-extramedullary space-o

Kotl.et Pouzar is reported for the first time from Poland and Belarus.Its basidiomes Ball - Senior Bottoms are described and illustrated, and taxonomy, ecology and distribution are reviewed.Two other species, RCA/AV Cables S.delectans (Peck) M

In recent years, concern over the use of lead-based ammunition for hunting has been growing, primarily due to consumption of discarded offal by scavengers and donated game meat for human consumption.While there are alternative bullet technologies on the market that are suitable for hunting, these alternatives have not been adequately researched and

DNA is the target of chemical compounds (drugs, pollutants, photosensitizers, etc.), which bind through non-covalent interactions.Depending on their structure and their chemical properties, DNA binders can associate to the minor or to the major groove of double-stranded DNA.They can also intercalate between two adjacent base pairs, or even replace
