Monoclonal antibodies were produced by murine hybridomas after immunization with semipurified baboon endogenous virus. In a solid-phase radioimmunoassay, two antibodies (F12-9 and B9-18) reacted with viral antigen only. The antibodies A6-8 and C9-12 also reacted with virus-producing cells but not with control cells, whereas antibodies E4-6 and D12-2 bound to virus-free cells as well. The cytofl...

Transgenerational experience can affect a range of natural enemies’ life-history traits and be involved in the control developmental plasticity. As major egg parasitoid spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), wasp Anastatus orientalis (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is effective at suppressing its host populations. The reproductive A. known to depend on photoperiod conditions,...

The use of antimicrobials as growth promoters and disease prevention is being constantly reduced in several animal production systems, including the swine industry. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate effectiveness using acidifiers control Salmonella Typhimurium 65-day-old pigs by detecting pathogen organs at euthanasia. For this, 24 piglets were divided into two experimental groups consist...

Standard welfare economic analysis evaluates all actions by their consequences. However, evidence from other disciplines suggests that the procedures by which decisions are made also affects the welfare of individuals. This paper outlines six characteristics on which judgements about procedural justice may be based. Using the example of health care rationing, we examine the importance of each c...

We show that in almost every economy with separable externalities, every competitive equilibrium can be Pareto improved by a package of anonymous commodity taxes that causes prices to adjust and markets to reclear at different levels of individual consumption. This constrained suboptimality of competitive allocations might provide a rationale for economic policy in economies with externalities....

For many people “solidarity” has become a meaningless word used in slogans – too often used without leading to any economic consequences. We show in this paper conditions under which solidarity can be a powerful instrument. In a solidary action, an individual in a group contributes to a series of actions that aims for a reallocation of scarce resources. The willingness to contribute is mainly i...
