the objective of this study was to evaluate effect of different concentrations of catalase in two extenders on motility, viability and lipid peroxidation bull spermatozoa during semen freezing process. thirty ejaculates collected from ten holstein bulls were pooled and evaluated at 37 °c. pool ejaculated was split into two main experimental groups, 1 and 2. in experiment 1, specimen was diluted...

This study aims to determine the effect of adding melon (Cucumis melo L.) juice Lactated Ringer’s-egg yolk extender on intact plasma membrane (IPM) and morphological abnormalities native rooster spermatozoa. Five ejaculate each from two roosters (Gallus gallus domesticus) were divided into four equal volumes. Ejaculate was extended 1:10 (v/v) in Ringer's-egg without or with addition 2, 4, 8% fl...

BACKGROUND Stool examination by counting eggs per gram of feces (EPGs) is the best method to estimate worm burden of Clonorchis sinensis in infected humans. The present study investigated a correlation between EPGs and worm burden in human clonorchiasis. METHODS AND FINDINGS A total of 60 residents, 50 egg-positive and 10 egg-negative, in Sancheong-gun, Korea, participated in this worm collec...

The aim of this study was to identify the optimal storage duration of incubated eggs of Dandarawi hens on embryonic mortality, hatchability, one-day chick weight and viability of chicks at 14 days of age. Eggs were collected 4 times daily for 15 consecutive days and stored at 16°C and 70% RH until sorted into treatments and then were incubated for 21 d under standard incubation conditions. The ...

A study on the reinfection and infection rates of soil-transmitted helminths was conducted in Kemiri Sewu, Godean District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Province, Indonesia, from August 1988 to June 1990. A total 61 individuals rendered Ascaris lumbricoides egg-negative by drug treatment were used in the reinfection study and 412 individuals found negative for Ascaris eggs in the pretreat...

Rapid diagnostic tests are needed for the implementation and monitoring of national schistosomiasis control programmes. The field applicability of the circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) urine reagent strip for the diagnosis of Schistosoma haematobium infection was evaluated among 265 pre- and primary schoolchildren aged 2-19 years in a rural area of Zimbabwe. The CCA strip was compared with egg...
