background : development of new natural agents for parasitic diseases treatment has unexpec­tedly increased to overcome effectively against emergence and re-emergence of parasitic diseases, the appearance of drug resistant organisms and toxic side effects of current agents. the aim of the study was to evaluate antiprotozoal activities of chitosan biomolecule on trophozoites of trichomo­nas gall...

Abstract Trichomonas gallinae is the causative protozoan parasite of avian trichomonosis, an infectious disease wild bird species. Since outbreak in UK 2005, trichomonosis has resulted mass mortality events greenfinch ( Chloris chloris ) and chaffinch Fringillia coelebs populations. Given its proximity to UK, it important monitor emergence T. Ireland. This study proposed sample greenfinch, gold...

BACKGROUND Development of new natural agents for parasitic diseases treatment has unexpectedly increased to overcome effectively against emergence and re-emergence of parasitic diseases, the appearance of drug resistant organisms and toxic side effects of current agents. The aim of the study was to evaluate antiprotozoal activities of chitosan biomolecule on trophozoites of Trichomonas gallinae...

BACKGROUND Tyrannosaurus rex and other tyrannosaurid fossils often display multiple, smooth-edged full-thickness erosive lesions on the mandible, either unilaterally or bilaterally. The cause of these lesions in the Tyrannosaurus rex specimen FMNH PR2081 (known informally by the name 'Sue') has previously been attributed to actinomycosis, a bacterial bone infection, or bite wounds from other ty...

The influence of cold (4°C)used to prepare cells for metabolic investigations was examined with Trichomonas gallinae in this study. Cells washed withcold diluent in a refrigerated centrifuge were found to be less stimulated in their gas production at 37°C when exposed to glucose ormaltose than cells washed at room temperature conditions. Such cold-prepared cells had higher initial glycogen cont...
