Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of HCV Components and Pathological Reactions in Apoptotic Hepatocytes from Chronically HCV-infected PatientsViviana Falcón, Nelson Acosta-Rivero, Mineko Shibayama et al.Analysis of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes at the cellular level may contribute to elucidate the mechanisms of HCV pathogenesis. In this work, the presence of HCV components and pathological reactions in apoptotic hepatocytes from chronic HCV-infected patients were studied by electron microscopy and confocal microscopy. Eight samples of liver biopsies from patients with chronic hepatitis C were studied by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,907 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPathologies of Acute Interstitial Pneumonia in Feedlot CattleJose A. Valles, Michael D. Apley, Chris D. Reinhardt et al.Acute Interstitial Pneumonia (AIP) is a costly issue that affects feedlot cattle. Research has yet to elucidate the etiology of AIP; therefore a case-control study was conducted to evaluate possible management and physiological factors that contribute to AIP in feedlot cattle. The experiment was conducted during the summer of 2011 in a commercial feedyard in Kansas.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractClinio-Pathological Changes in Goats Challenged with Corynebacterium Peudotuberculosis and its Exotoxin (PLD)Z. K.H. Mahmood, F. F. Jesse, A. A. Saharee et al.Caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) is a chronic disease caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. However, there is a paucity of data about the C. pseudotuberculosis exotoxin, phospholipase D (PLD) response during the course of CLA. Therefore, this study was conducted to observe the clinical signs and the cellular changes after an experimental infection of the C. pseudotuberculosis and phospholipase D challenge. Twenty six … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 26 May 2015 · 8,316 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA NEW PCR-RFLP FOR SPECIES-SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS OF SOUTH AMERICAN ANIMAL TRYPANOSOMIASISLiliana Torcoroma García, Yezid A. Ardila, Deilis Rincón et al.The diagnosis of animal trypanosomiasis in field samples is currently based on clinical suspicion and less frequently on traditional parasitological methods characterized by their very low sensitivity, especially in the sub-acute and chronic phase of the infection. Molecular tools such as Polymerase Chain Reaction have been shown to reach the highest sensitivity percentages, but without good resolution for all of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2014 · 7,182 accessesView PDFCite
