Frequency of Toxoplasmosis in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Trinidad

Correlation of Serum Lipids and Lipoproteins with Trace Elements in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

To evaluate the correlations of the serum concentrations of trace elements with lipids and lipoproteins in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), the serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglyceride, total lipids, very low density lipoproteins (VLDL-cholesterol), low density lipoproteins (LDL-cholesterol) and high density lipoproteins (HDL-cholesterol) and their correlations with serum concentration...

Analysis of polymorphism of MHC class II BuLA DRB3 exon 2 gene in North West Iranian populations of the Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) through PCR-SSCP

The DRB3 gene is a highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II gene and plays an important role in variability of immune responsiveness and disease resistance. In the present study, the MHC class II DRB3 gene in water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) populations from Northwest regions of Iran was investigated through PCR-SSCP. Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood samples c...

Effect of Leptin on In Vitro Nuclear Maturation and Apoptosis of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Oocyte

Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis): complete nucleotide mitochondrial genome sequence.

In this work, we report the whole sequence of the water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) mitochondrial genome. The water buffalo mt molecule is 16.355 base pair length and shows a genome organization similar to those reported for other mitochondrial genome. These new data provide an useful tool for many research area, i.e. evolutionary study and identification of food origin.

P-70: Effect of Xylose on Epididymal Sperm Motility in Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)

Background: In mammalian spermatozoa, motility is one of the most important parameters for evaluating the quality of the semen. From a functional point of view, motility is strongly related to the spermatozoa’s ability to manage its energy status, Thus, modulation of energy status could be translated into significant changes in motility patterns. The aim of the present study was to evaluate xyl...
