Jane W., set. 56, single, a manager of a registry office at Clifton, was admitted to the Wilts County Asylum, at Devizes, on the 8th of September, 1880. Without giving any warning she disappeared from her home at Clifton, and was picked up by the authorities of an Union in Wiltshire, and, as she could give no account of herself, sent to the County Asylum. While there she at first suffered from ...

Now that the crusade against consumption is to be carried on in Gloucester, Somerset, and Wilts, it appears desirable to bring together some figures which may be of service in evoking local interest by comparing the death returns for these three counties with those for England and Wales. The latest returns available are for the year 1898, in the sixty-first Annual Report the Registrar-General, ...

Infantile paralysis, or anterior poliomyelitis, furnishes a large proportion of the patients in the Bath, Somerset and Wilts Orthopaedic Scheme, and the problems of treatment in cases where the lower limb is affected are both difficult and interesting. Examination of the patient.?Before discussing the details of treatment it is necessary to say one word about diagnosis, for it is on an exact es...

This study aims to examine the potential reasons for the current prevalence of the fusarium wilt in the oriental melon. Twenty-seven Fusarium isolates obtained from oriental melon greenhouses in 2010-2011 were identified morphologically and by analysis of elongation factor-1 alpha gene (EF-1α) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences as 6 Fusarium species (8 isolates of F. oxysporum...

Plant pathogens migrate to new regions through human activities such as trade, where they may establish themselves and cause disease on agriculturally important crops. Verticillium wilt of lettuce, caused by Verticillium dahliae, is a soilborne fungus that was introduced to coastal California via infested spinach seeds. It has caused significant losses for lettuce growers. Once introduced, Vert...

A diploid potato (Solanum tuberosum) mutant called droopy wilts easily. Excised leaves of the mutant lost weight, and hence water, more rapidly and had many more open stomata than leaves of a normal sibling. Further, the stomata of abnormal plants remained open in wilted leaves. When the stomata of the abnormal mutant were closed by a chemical spray, its excised leaves lost water no more rapidl...

Ralstonia solanacearum is a heterogeneous species complex causing bacterial wilts in more than 450 plant species distributed in 54 families. The complexity of the genome and the wide diversity existing within the species has led to the concept of R. solanacearum species complex (RsSC). Here we report the genome sequence of the four strains (RS2, RS25, RS48 and RS75) belonging to three of the fo...
