The apicomplexan parasite Cryptosporidium parvum is a major cause of serious diarrheal disease in both humans and animals. No efficacious chemo- or immunotherapies have been identified for cryptosporidiosis, but certain antibodies directed against zoite surface antigens and/or proteins shed by gliding zoites have been shown to neutralize infectivity in vitro and/or to passively protect against,...

In this paper, the historical infrared (JHK) data compiled from 22 publications are presented for 3C 279 and 4C 29.45. Relations between color index and magnitude and between color-color indices are discussed. (J-K) is found closely correlated with (J-H) while (J-H) is almost not correlated with (H-K), which is perhaps due to two facts of (1) (J-K) shows wider distribution than (J-H) and (H-K) ...

Heat treatments are an environmentally safe method for eliminating quarantine pests from tropical foliage. Conditioning heat treatments can induce thermotolerance against subsequent and otherwise phytotoxic temperatures in tropical foliage, allowing heat treatments to be even more effective. However, if thermotolerance is also induced in nematodes of quarantine significance like Radopholus simi...
