materials and methods from 2004 to 2005, plants were collected from various ecological niches and the roots were used to isolate v. cholera. standard bacteriological, biochemical and serological tests were used for its typification. results in five out of the nine ecological niches explored, we collected either l. minor or e. crassipens, as these specimens cohabited only in two niches. v. chole...

OBJECTIVE Our study provides information on phenotypes of local chickens and guinea fowl and their body measures as well as on major genes in local chickens in northern Ghana. METHODS Qualitative and morphometric traits were recorded on 788 local chickens and 394 guinea fowl in urban households in Tamale, Ghana. RESULTS The results showed considerable variation of color traits and numerous ...

We have constructed a defined acapsular mutant in Pasteurella multocida X-73 (serogroup A:1) by disrupting the hexA gene through the insertion of a tetracycline resistance cassette. The genotype of the hexA::tet(M) strain was confirmed by PCR and Southern hybridization, and the acapsular phenotype of this strain was confirmed by electron microscopy. The hexA::tet(M) strain was attenuated in bot...

cholera epidemics have a recorded history in eastern congo dating to 1971. a study was conducted to find out the linkage between climate variability/change and cholera outbreak and to assess the related economic cost in the management of cholera in congo.this study integrates historical data (20 years) on temperature and rainfall with the burden of disease from cholera in south-kivu province, e...

pasteurella multocida (p. multocida), a gram-negative facultative anaerobic bacterium, is a causative animal pathogen in porcine atrophic rhinitis and avian fowl cholera. the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria contains of many different protein in very high copy numbers. one of the major outer membrane, the h proteins have functional as high immunogenicity and antigenicity. in this study...
