Authors: Garedaghi yagoob, Arash Khaki, Sayed Haidar Abbas Raza,Rajwali Khan, Li Hao, Seyed Mahdi Hosseini, Sherein S. Abdelgayed and Mohib Ullah Kakar
A study of intestinal helminthic parasites of domestic chickens was carried out in Tabriz city, Iran during 2016. One hundred (100) gastrointestinal samples were examined in necropsied chickens microscopically using the lactophenol and carmine-acid staining technique. The result showed a high prevalence of intestinal parasitic.. Read More»

BmICE-2 interference vector construction and its silencing effect in the BmN-SWU1 cells
Authors: Hua-Shan Yi and Xianping Ma
Investigate the function of BmICE-2 gene in silkworm cells by constructing a BmICE-2 interference vector and analysing its interference effect. Online RNAi design software was used to predict the interference target sequence of Bmice-2. An optimized sequence was selected and inserted into the backbone of interference microRNA... Read More»

Comparison of three methods for diagnosis of Trypanosoma (Duttonella) vivax in cattle.
Authors: William Pereira Alves, Diana Abr?£o Cuglovici, Luis Fernando Viana Furtado,Julia Ang?©lica Gon?§alves da Silveira, Elias Jorge Facury-Filho,M?ºcio Fl?¡vio Barbosa Ribeiro and ??lida Mara Leite Rabelo
Detection of Trypanosoma vivax in cattle is based on parasitological, serological and molecular methods. The aim of this study was to compare three different methods for detecting T. vivax during an outbreak of trypanosomiasis in southeast Brazil. Blood samples were collected from seventy-two animals to perform micro-hematocri.. Read More»

Coupled transcript and metabolite identification: insights on induction and synthesis of resveratrol in peanut, wild relatives and synthetic allotetraploid
Authors: P.A.S.V. Carvalho, A.C. Brasileiro, S. Leal-Bertioli, D.J. Bertioli, J.P. Silva, T.S. Agostini-Costa and M.A. Gimenes
Resveratrol is an antioxidant that is a promising antitumoral, cardioprotective and neuroprotective agent. It has been found in a restricted number of plants including peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and its wild relatives. The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between resveratrol content and the expressi.. Read More»

Analysis of melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages
Authors: M.M. Lira-Carrera, B.E. Guti?©rrez-Amavizca, L.J. ?lvarez-Araujo, M. Aguirre-Ram?rez and J.A. P?©rez-Le?³n
Melanopsin is the photopigment of intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells that mediate non-visual responses to light. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze melanopsin gene expression in the rabbit retina at different ages and compare its expression with the prototypic gene of retinal ganglion cells (Thy..

Identification of differentially expressed genes in pathways of cerebral neurotransmission of anovulatory mice
Authors: M.A. Azevedo Jr. and I.D.C.G. Silva
Polycystic ovary syndrome is the classic example of loss of functional cyclicity and anomalous feedback. In this case, the excessive extra-glandular production and conversion of androgens to estrogens are the pathophysiological basis of the chronic anovulation. The literature describes an experimental model of the polymicrocys.. Read More»

Tissue distribution and early developmental expression patterns of aldolase A, B, and C in grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idellus
Authors: J.J. Fan, J.J. Bai, D.M. Ma, L.Y. Yu and P. Jiang
Aldolase is a key enzyme involved in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway. To establish the expression patterns of all three aldolase isozyme genes in different tissues and during early embryogenesis in lower vertebrates, as well as to explore the functional differences between these three isozymes, t..

Cadmium accumulation and metallothionein gene expression in the liver of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) collected from the Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand
Authors: M. Wahid, S. Prasarnpun and N. Yimtragool
Cadmium (Cd) is produced mainly as a by-product of zinc mining. In Thailand, the largest zinc mine is located in the Mae Sot district, Tak Province. Samples of Monopterus albus were collected from paddy fields in 4 sites, three downstream and one upstream from the zinc mine. The upstream site was considered to be uncontaminate.. Read More»
