The latent toxoplasmosis is usually considered to be asymptomatic, however, this paradigm has never been rigorously tested. Here we searched for symptoms of deterioration of physical health (decrease of weight) in infected people by analysis of clinical records of 758 women tested for toxoplasmosis in the 16th week of gravidity. Toxoplasma-positive women have a lower body weight in the 16th wee...

two breeds of chickens were used to develop reference family and detect qtls affecting egg quality traits: cocks of a native polish breed green-legged partidgenous (glp) and hens of rhode island red (rir). during the first 100 days of the laying period, the glp hens lay about 40 eggs weighting on average 50 g, whilst the rir flock laid 83 eggs with a mean weight of 60 g. qtl analysis of egg qua...

BACKGROUND Levels of IgE antibody to egg white of greater than 7 kIU/L are highly predictive of clinical reactivity to egg, and lower levels often require evaluation with oral food challenge (OFC) to establish definitive diagnosis. OFCs have inherent risks, and diagnostic criteria indicating high likelihood of passing would be clinically useful. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether the si...
