Chondrosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor in which the neoplastic cells produce cartilaginous matrix and is uncommonly described in birds.This report describes the clinical and pathological findings of Sensor Kit one case of chondrosarcoma in a blue-fronted parrot (Amazona aestiva).Macroscopically a 3.6x3.5x1.8cm, nodular, ulcerated, and firm
Estimates of terrestrial biomass depend critically on reliable information about the specific gravity of the wood of forest trees.The study reported on here was carried out in the southern Peruvian Amazon and involved collection of wood samples from trees (70 spp.) in intact forest stands.Results demonstrate the high degree of variability in specif
Filamentous fungi reproduce asexually or sexually, and the processes of asexual and sexual development are tightly regulated by a variety of transcription factors.In this study, we characterized a Zn2Cys6 transcription factor in two Aspergillus species, A.nidulans (AN5859) and A.flavus (AFLA_046870).AN5859 encodes a Zn2Cys6 transcription factor, ca
Neuronal cell death, glial cell activation, retinal swelling and oxidative injury are complications in retinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries.Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBP), extracts from the wolfberries, are good for "eye health" according to Chinese Irons medicine.The aim of our present study is to explore the use of LBP in retinal I/
Between 2006 and 2012, a Sensor Kit rabies control programme has been conducted in the area of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya.Spatial data obtained for this project were analysed with the aim of assessing the importance of dog home ranges with the view of possible overlapping between dog populations from adjacent localities.In contrast to our expec
