Microscopic study on some of the parasites that affect rock pigeon (columba livia gmelin, 1789) (aves: columbidae) in Qena, Egypt

The study was conducted to identify some different helminth parasites infecting Rock pigeons in Qena province. The gastro-intestinal tracts of 32 specimens of pigeon (Columba livia) were dissected parasitologically for detect helminthes infection. Of these, 11 (34.3%) were infected by 3 species of helminths, comprising 2 species of cestodes and one species of common nematodes Ascaridia columbae 8 (25%), The infection with cestode species was 5(15%) in the two families Dilepididae Dilepis undula Schrank,1788; and Anoplocephalidae Atriotaenia minuta n. spp.

Differential response of rice to organics and mineral nitrogen on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield in an ustifluvents soil

Introduction: Field experiments were conducted for two years in sandy clay loam soil to study the effect of organic sources and mineral nitrogen on growth parameters, yield attributes and yield of rice. The treatments consisted of addition of different organics viz., composted coir pith (CCP), green manures (GM), sugarcane trash compost (STC), vermicompost (VC), poultry manure (PM) and FYM applied at 100% RDN and combination of above organics @50% N and urea@50%N besides 100% RDN as urea and control.

Effects of instructional strategies on high school students in mathematics: West-Gojam zone, Ethiopia

This study was designed to examine the possible effects of instructional strategies on mathematical discourse. The effectiveness, retention, application and the usefulness of teacher-centered instruction were in question. To obtain data, questionnaire, classroom observation, and semi-structured interviews were used. A total of one hundred fifty-six teachers and five hundred sixteen students from the entire sample schools were selected using simple random sampling technique for the questionnaire and classroom observation. Twenty teachers and thirty-five students were interviewed.

Nutritional habits, comorbidities, quality of life and acceptance to hemodialysis treatment

Objective: To analyze the perception of patients with Chronic Renal Disease related to hemodialytic treatment. Method: This is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study developed with nine patients on hemodialysis treatment followed in a renal clinic. The data collection took place in March and April of 2017 through a characterization questionnaire and focused interview. The data were submitted to thematic analysis. Results: There were three categories: the sodium and Chronic Renal Disease; Diabetes Mellitus in chronic renal patients and patient acceptance of hemodialysis.

Morphological changes of extensor digitorum longus muscle in the offspring of obese rats

Objective: To evaluate the morphology and morphometry of muscle fibers and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of the extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) in the offspring of obese ratsinduced by a cafeteria diet. Methods: Three-week-old female Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: a control (CTL) group that received a standard diet and an obese (OB) group that received a cafeteria diet. The animals were mated at 23 weeks of age. After birth, only males were used for the experiment.

Dedifferentiation of leaf cells and growth of friable calluses of capsicum annuum cv. all big

The genus Capsicum belongs to the Solanaceae botanical family and is notable for the production of secondary metabolites of medicinal and economical importance. In vitro methods have been successfully utilized for the large scale production of plant secondary metabolites. The objective of this study was to establish a protocol for dedifferentiation of leaf cells of the cultivar C. annuumL. cv.

Active and concrete evidences about sexual reproduction and life cycle in the parasitic generation of Strongyloides stercoralis in human host

Background: Strongyloides stercoralis was believed to have two kinds of life cycle. One of them was an internal parthenogenetic life cycle that constituted the parasitic generation. Some authors also stated that this parasitic generation of the internal life cycle used to reproduce only by protandrogony (i.e., hermaphroditism). The second type of life cycle was the external sexual cycle, interacting among free-living worms that represented the free-living generation in soil. The key objectives of this study were to: • verify the type of reproduction in the parasitic generation of S.

Conservation Dilemmas Confronting The Population Of Pelajau (Pentaspadon Annamense) Trees On Laut Island, South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia

Pelajau, Pentaspadon annamense (Evrard and Tardieu) P.H. Hô. is an endangered tree species of the Malesian region with fruits similar in eating quality to the walnut. The fruit has potential as a food ingredient in lieu of walnut. Laut Island in South Kalimantan Province, of Indonesia is one of its habitats but forests there are being converted to tree plantations and to settlements, thus the pelajau populations are being reduced.

Screening Of Available Chickpea Genotypes For Resistance Potential Against Gram Pod Borer, Helicoverpa Armigera (Hubner) In Sindh, Pakistan

Gram pod borer, H. armigera (Hub.) is one of the voracious pests of chickpea that needs considerable attention for the management. Thus, present studies were conducted to find out the elite genotype from the existing materials. Ten different genotypes were tested in two different locations; Upper zone (Dokri, Larkana) and Lower zone (Tandojam) of Sindh province of Pakistan. The results regarding the pod infestation revealed significant (P < 0.05 = 0.0000) difference among ten tested genotypes.
