the incorporation of several anti-rodent masterbatches into polyethylene (pe) granules used for gas pipes and the effects of the masterbatches on the physical properties of the pipes were studied. four commercial anti-rodent masterbatches from different international companies including, clariant, alchemix, polyone, and newgen were used in this research. each of the masterbatch was primarily dr...

Rodents are the most abundant and diversified order of living mammals in world. Since middle ages they known to contribute human diseases, eg. black rats associated with distribution plague. In modern times also rodents form a threat for public health number pathogens directly or indirectly transmitted by rodents.

Anelloviruses are nonenveloped single-stranded DNA viruses infecting a wide range of mammals. We report three complete genomes of novel anelloviruses detected in laboratory rats. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrates that these viruses are related to but distinct from recently described rodent Torque teno viruses (RoTTVs) found in wild rodent species.

trichinellosis is both of veterinary and medical importance in countries where pig breeding and pork consumption exists. in iran, people are forbidden to consume pork because of the religious regulations. therefore, there have not been any human cases over the past decades except a doubtful case based on serological test. although there are some sylvatic trichinellosis in wild life in different...
