Little research information is available on the prevalence of diseases of donkeys in Uganda. A study was undertaken between September 1994 and April 1995 to identify diseases and health problems of donkeys in Uganda. A survey was conducted in Kaptanya sub-County, Tingey County in Kapchorwa District, Uganda. Data were collected by questionnaire from 159 donkey owners in Kaptanya. Forty responden...

Mice immunized with recombinant vaccinia virus (VACC) expressing Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus capsid protein and glycoproteins E1 and E2 or with attenuated VEE TC-83 virus vaccine developed VEE-specific neutralizing antibody and survived intraperitoneal challenge with virulent VEE virus strains including Trinidad donkey (subtype 1AB), P676 (subtype 1C), 3880 (subtype 1D), and Ever...

Thirty-eight taxa of Zygomycetes distributed in 15 genera were recorded from tapir (Tapirus terrestris), camel (Camelus bactrianus), horse (Equus caballus), deer (Cervus elaphus), agouti (Dasyprocta aguti), donkey (Equus asinus), llama (Llama glama) and waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus) dung collected at the Reserva Ecológica de Dois Irmãos located in Recife, State of Pernambuco, Northeast Brazi...

There are several major proposals for treating donkey anaphora such as discourse representation theory and the likes, or E-Type theories and the likes. Every one of them works well for a set of specific examples that they use to demonstrate validity of their approaches. As I show in this paper, however, they are not very generalisable and do not account for essentially the same problem that the...

Diphallia and double scrota are rare congenital anomalies. This report records, for the first time, the gross pathological findings of a rare case of diphallia and double scrota in a two-year-old donkey. On physical examination of the donkey, double peni, double prepuces, double scrota and two testes were observed. The two peni were directed opposite to each other at the caudal ventral midline....

has been used for therapeutic purposes since ancient times. Different studies report its antimicrobial activity against an important human pathogen such as S. aureus. Therefore, in our study, we aimed to examine the efficacy of donkey milk standard MRSA and MSSA strains in-vitro environment. In obtained from 53 different donkeys aureus ATCC 43300 (MRSA) 29213 (MSSA) was investigated by broth mi...

In neonatology, blood gas analysis is a useful tool in the evaluation of the health of newborns and plays a key role in early detection of critically ill subjects. Because blood gas analysis parameters have not previously been studied in any depth in donkey foals, this study was performed on 16 healthy Martina Franca donkey foals born after an uncomplicated delivery. Arterial and venous blood s...

Y chromosome acts as a single nonrecombining unit that is male specific and in effect haploid, thus ensuring the preservation of mutational events as a single haplotype via male lines. In this study, 6 Y chromosome-specific microsatellites (SSR) were tested for the patrilineal genetic variations of 573 male samples from Chinese domestic horse (30 breeds), Przewalski's horse, and donkey. All the...

We provide a security analysis for full-state keyed Sponge and full-state Duplex constructions. Our results can be used for making a large class of Sponge-based authenticated encryption schemes more efficient by concurrent absorption of associated data and message blocks. In particular, we introduce and analyze a new variant of SpongeWrap with almost free authentication of associated data. The ...
