BEAK AND FEATHER DISEASE VIRUS HAEMAGGLUTINATING ACTIVITY USING ERYTHROCYTES FROM AFRICAN GREY PARROTS AND BROWN-HEADED PARROTS : RESEARCH COMMUNICATION

Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a common viral disease of wild and captive psittacine birds characterized by symmetric feather loss and beak deformities.The causative agent, beak and feather disease virus (BFDV), is a small, circular single-stranded DNA virus that belongs to the genus Circovirus.BFDV can be detected by PCR or the use

In in vitro conditions, virulence of 91 isolates of species Fusarium genus (F.oxysporum, F.solani, F.acuminatum, F.equiseti, F.arthrosporioides, F.proliferatum, F.avenaceum, F.semitectum, F.tricinctum, F.sporotrichioides and F.graminearum) towards alfalfa seedlings was investigated.Isolates of investigated species originated from diseased alfalfa p

Sarcasm, a figurative expression, plays a crucial Lifestyle role in human communication by conveying meanings often opposite to literal interpretation.Despite being common in daily conversations, sarcasm poses significant challenges for natural language processing (NLP) systems due to its intricate and context-sensitive nature.This study proposes a

Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by various mutations in the gene encoding the key glycolytic enzyme TPI.A drastic decrease in TPI activity and an increased level of its substrate, dihydroxyacetone phosphate, have been measured in unpurified cell extracts of affected individuals.These observations

Introduction Siblings share a lifelong bond in their relationship, and they may choose to provide support to their brother or COMBO sister with a neurodisability.Previous reviews summarised programmes that only focused on the behavioural, emotional and psychological outcomes of the siblings.There is a need to synthesise existing evidence and enhanc
