PERSPECTIVES ON THE UTILITY OF MOXIDECTIN FOR THE CONTROL OF PARASITIC NEMATODES IN THE FACE OF DEVELOPING ANTHELMINTIC RESISTANCE

Perspectives on the utility of moxidectin for the control of parasitic nematodes in the face of developing anthelmintic resistance

Macrocyclic lactone (ML) anthelmintics are the most important class of anthelmintics because of our high dependence on them for the control of nematode parasites and some ectoparasites in livestock, companion animals and in humans.However, resistance to MLs is of increasing concern.Resistance is commonplace throughout the world in nematode parasite

Epizootic to enzootic transition of a fungal disease in tropical Andean frogs: Are surviving species still susceptible?

The fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, has been linked to catastrophic amphibian declines throughout the world.Amphibians differ in their vulnerability to chytridiomycosis; some species experience epizootics followed by collapse while others exhibit stable host/pathogen dynamics where mos

Study on culture of stable aerobic granular sludge

In this study, three reactors were established with anaerobic plug-flow times of 1.5 hours, 1 hour, and 0.5 hours.The results indicated that the anaerobic plug-flow time of 1 hour constructed favorable "feast- famine" period ratio, promoting the enrichment of microorganisms that stored and utilized the internal carbon source, such as Phosphate and

Inhibition of Metastatic Hepatocarcinoma by Combined Chemotherapy with Silencing VEGF/VEGFR2 Genes through a GalNAc-Modified Integrated Therapeutic System

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor related to high mortality and is still lacking a satisfactory cure.Tumor metastasis is currently DAILY a major challenge of cancer treatment, which is highly related to angiogenesis.The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGFR signaling pathway is thus becoming an attractive therapeu
