Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFlea Infestation in Farm Animals and its Zoonotic Importance in East-Azerbaijan ProvinceGaredaghi YagoobProblem statement: Most fleas infest their host temporarily then pass to another of the same kind, while others move from one to a different host species. Although the comprehensive list of fleas reported from Iran, but there still exists considerable gap in our knowledge of zoonotic aspect of flea infestation. The present study was undertaken to determine correlation between domestic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 13 Jan 2012 · 8,153 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCatch Composition of Tsetse Flies (Glossina: Glossinidae)K.E. Okoh, I.S. Ndams, E. Kogi, C.G. VajimeProblem statement: A study to determine the composition of tsetse flies species was conducted between January and December, 2007 in Kamuku National Park, Nigeria, using Biconical and Nitse traps. Tsetse flies were trapped along gallery forest in five streams for two trapping days and were collected daily. Approach: All tsetse flies caught were identified to species level, sexed, separated into … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 23 Sep 2011 · 7,440 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNew Antifungal Bacteriocin-Synthesizing Strains of Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis as the Perspective Biopreservatives for Protection of Raw Smoked SausagesL.G. Stoyanova, E.A. Ustyugova, T.D. Sultimova et al.Problem statement: Screening for the effective bacteriocin-synthesizing strains of Lactococcus lactis as the perspective biopreservatives was performed. We used a raw milk and dairy products from different climatic regions as well as from powerful drinks of mixed lactic acid and alcoholic fermentation: kurunga, kumiss and Iranian “Dough”, that were widely used by local population to prevent diseases. Approach: The special … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 15 Dec 2010 · 9,683 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntioxidant Activity of Leaves of Calophyllum rubiginosumMuhammad Taher, Nissad Attoumani, Deny Susanti et al.Problem statement: Calophyllum species have been used in traditional medicine for their therapeutic values for many years. This use was explained by several previous studies where antimicrobial, antifungal, anti-HIV and anti-cancer and antioxidant compounds were isolated from several Calophyllum species. Approach: The leaves were extracted with n-hexane (hexane), dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol using soxhlet apparatus. Total phenolic contents of each … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,623 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPreparation and Characterization of Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Composite Material: Polymerization of m-Aminobenzoic Acid-Intercalated Into Zn/Al-Layered Double HydroxidesRasheed M.A.Q. JamhourLayered double hydroxides of aluminum and zinc (Zn/Al-LDH’s) were synthesized directly by hydrolysis at room temperature as reported elsewhere. After characterization, the material was reacted with m-aminobenzoat anion (m-NH2C6H4COO-) which undergoes polymerization in the interlayer space; resulting in the formation of a matrix with polymeric organic macromolecule. The resulting material along with the host LDH’s compound of Zn/Al-Cl was characterized … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,586 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Associated with Syringe Sharing Among Users of a Medically Supervised Safer Injecting FacilityEvan Wood, Mark W. Tyndall, Jo-Anne Stoltz et al.Vancouver, Canada recently opened a medically supervised safer injecting facility (SIF) in an effort to reduce HIV and overdose risk and public injection drug use. We sought to examine factors associated with syringe sharing among SIF users. SIF users were randomly recruited into a prospective cohort of SIF users known as the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort. We … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 10,759 accessesView PDF Cite
