Abstract Background Herbaria are becoming increasingly important as archives of biodiversity, and play a central role in taxonomic and biogeographic studies.There is also an ongoing interest in functional traits and the way they mediate interactions between a plant species and its environment.Herbarium specimens allow tracking trait values over tim
Chicken coccidiosis caused by Eimeria spp.can occur on almost all poultry farms, causing huge economic losses to the industry.Genetically manipulated Eimeria parasites as a vaccine vector to deliver viral antigens have been reported.In our preliminary study, transgenic E.acervulina expressing a VP2 gene (Ea-VP2) of the infectious bursal disease vir
Underwater manipulation with current robotics technology is a challenging task with significant limits in versatility and robustness terms.Such functionality has tremendous potential covering a broad spectrum of applications, mainly replacing divers performing hazardous jobs.Soft robotics provides an efficient solution for operating in these scenar
The present study was carried out to assess the economic viability of Angelica glauca.Cost benefit ratio tool was used to assess the net benefit that could lure the local farm community to bring this important species in farm cultivation and thus promote the ex-situ conservation of species.To observe the economic yield of plants, underground parts
The digenetic trematode Schistosoma mansoni is a human parasite that uses the mollusc Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host.Specific S.mansoni strains can infect efficiently only certain B.glabrata strains (compatible strain) while others are incompatible.Strain-specific differences in transcription of a conserved family of polymorphic mucins
