Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Soil Fungi in Tomato with Microencapsulates Containing Bacillus subtilisMarcela Hernàndez-Suàrez, Francisco Daniel Hernàndez-Castillo, Gabriel Gallegos-Morales et al.Problem Statement: An option to reduce pollution by synthetic agro-chemical in root plant disease management is the use of antagonist rhizobacteria belonging to Bacillus genus, because their inhibitory properties, stimulation of plant growth and crop yield increase. Approach: This study was carried out in order to evaluate if Bacillus subtilis strains could play an antagonists role of plant pathogens and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 8,925 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication of a Serum/Protein-Free Medium for the Growth of Mammalian Cell Lines and High Level Production of Classical, Variant and Very Virulent Strain of Infectious Bursal Disease Virus (IBDV)Ane Franciele Tapparo, Paloma Oliveira Tonietti, Maria CecÍlia R. Luvizotto, Tereza C. CardosoThe aim of this study was to verify the capacity of IBDV strains, Lukert, F52/70 and very virulent Brazilian genotype (G11) to infect and replicate on cell culture maintained without serum or protein supplementation. BHK21 and CER cells were directed adapted to growth under absence of protein and/or fetal bovine serum with addition of 5 µg mL-1 of insulin-like growth … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,656 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory Treatment of Infertility in Men with Elevated Antisperm AntibodiesIvan Bubanovic, Slobodan Kojic, Stevo Najman, Zlatibor AndjelkovicPossible causes of subfertility or infertility in men are still poorly defined, but one important category may be elevated level of antisperm antibodies (ASA) caused by infective and/or autoimmune diseases, as well as injuries of male reproductive system. In this study, blood sera from 45 infertile men of different age with ASA positive ELISA test were examined for the serum … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,839 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPeriodicity of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic in a Mathematical Model that Incorporates ComplacencyFlugentius Baryarama, Livingstone S. Luboobi, Joseph Y.T. MugishaAn HIV/AIDS model incorporating complacency for the adult population is formulated. Complacency is assumed a function of the number of AIDS cases in a community with an inverse relation. A method to find the equilibrium state of the model is given by proving a stated theorem. An example to illustrate the application of the theorem is also given. Model analysis … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,631 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Characterization of the Incidence Term in Epidemic Models: Interpretation of the Resulting Basic Reproduction Number in Terms of Healthcare AccessibilityFrancis BenyahWe propose a novel characterization of the incidence term in mathematical epidemic models. This new characterization takes into consideration the fact that at any given time, only a proportion $\kappa \ (0 \, \le \, \kappa \, \le \, 1)$, of infectives have access to healthcare. Infectives without access remain untreated and therefore, become reservoirs for new transmissions.The proposed incidence … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 1 Oct 2026 · 582 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimal Control Techniques for the Role of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Abuse in HIV/AIDS Treatment DynamicsBassey Echeng Bassey, Adagba Odey HenryFrom the studies of HIV/AIDS transmission and treatment dynamicsusing mathematical modeling, literature reviews have shown that attention hadnot been given to the behavioral attitude of screen-aware infectives not readyto receive treatment, HIV-aware infectives that initiated treatment buttruncated only to resume treatment later (therapy abuse) and those onconsistent treatment protocols. Moreso, following the non-outright eradicationof the deadly HI-virus, recommendations have been … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 24 Nov 2022 · 5,819 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 2-Dimensional Model for the Transmission Dynamics of Schistosomiasis in the Human-Snail HostsG. Besigye-BafakiThe modes of transmission of schistosomiasis are considered. The transmission model is developed with an aim of establishing possible endemic equilibria within the community. Analysis of the model reveals that if the recovery rate β of human infectives and the death rate of snails δ are increased and if at the same time the contact rate κ of the human … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,506 accessesView PDF Cite
