• Turkeys were effectively colonized by Salmonella without detectable clinical signs. elicited immune-activating transcriptome responses in turkey leukocytes. impacted the STAT3 pathway, toll-like receptors, and cytokine signaling. IL1B was predicted as a major regulator of inflammatory gene expression. Non-typhoidal is one most common causes bacterial foodborne disease consumption contaminated...

The central nervous system (CNS) ofDBAf2 mice inocutated i.p. with the D variant ofencephalornyocarditis virus (EMC-D) (10' PFUfhead) was examined up to 28 days postinoculation (28 DPI), The virus titer of CNS reached a maximum level at 4 DPI, and infectious viruses became undetectable by 28 DPI. Histopathologically, degeneration of neurons with virus antigens was observed in St. pyramidale hip...

Eucalyptus grandis , in its native Australian range, varies resistance to Austropuccinia psidii (syn. Puccinia ). The biotrophic rust fungus, A. is the causal agent of myrtle and poses a serious threat biodiversity. pathogen produces yellow pustules urediniospores on young leaves shoots, resulting shoot tip dieback, stunted growth, death. Dissecting underlying mechanisms against this will contr...

The goal of this study was to establish a reliable method to evaluate systemic bioavailability and to determine equisystemic effects (microgram dose producing equal systemic cortisol suppression) of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Steroid naive asthma subjects (n = 156) were enrolled at six centers. A 1-week doubling dose design was used for each of six ICS and matched placebos for a total of fo...

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is the state-of-the-art technology for traffic classification. According to the conventional wisdom, DPI is the most accurate classification technique. Consequently, most popular products, either commercial or open-source, rely on some sort of DPI for traffic classification. However, the actual performance of DPI is still unclear to the research community, since the...

Hendra virus (HeV) is a zoonotic virus from the family Paramyxoviridae causing fatal disease in humans and horses. Five-week-old Landrace pigs and 5-month-old Gottingen minipigs were inoculated with approximately 10(7) plaque forming units per animal. In addition to fever and depression exhibited in all infected pigs, one of the two Landrace pigs developed respiratory signs at 5 days post-inocu...

Most studies on rabies virus pathogenesis in animal models have employed fixed rabies viruses, and the results of those employing street rabies viruses have been inconsistent. Therefore, to clarify the pathogenesis of street rabies virus (1088 strain) in mice, 106 focus forming units were inoculated into the right hindlimb of ddY mice (6 weeks, female). At 3 days postinoculation (DPI), mild inf...

The objective of this study was to determine whether 2 distinct chlamydial isolates recovered from the intestines and feces of diarrheic nursery pigs could cause intestinal lesions in gnotobiotic pigs. Both isolates share biological characteristics with Chlamydia trachomatis. Chlamydial isolates R27 and R19 were propagated in Vero cells or embryonated eggs, respectively, and suspended in sucros...

“CLIMARC Computerising the Australian climate archives” (QPI43) Nick Clarkson, Queensland Centre for Climate Applications (QCCA)/DPI&F, was a joint project between the Climate Variability in Agriculture Program (CVAP) , the Queensland Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPI&F), the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy (NRM&E), and the Australian Government Bu...

Finite context models improve the performance of chain based encoders to the point that they become attractive, alternative models for binary image compression. The resulting code is within 4% of JBIG at 200 dpi and is 9% more eecient at 400 dpi.
