abstract        background and objective: paratuberculosis is a chronic granulomatous enteritis of ruminants caused by mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (map). this study aimed to characterize the genome of the map 316f strain.       methods: the map 316f strain was subjected to the pcr-f57 and pcr-is900 experiments in order to ensure its identity as map. this was followed by appl...

Normal corneas inoculated in vitro with vaccine virus and then cultivated in antivaccinal plasma developed typical vaccinal lesions associated with Guarnieri bodies. In such cultures, after an incubation period of 24 or 48 hours, active vaccine virus was demonstrated by means of appropriate methods. Immune corneas inoculated in vitro with vaccine virus and then cultivated in normal or in antiva...

The main object of the study is to demonstrate that Bruce-ladder multiplex PCR, which capable identify all Brucella species including vaccinal strains, a safe and practical method alternative bacteriological culture methods. Brucellosis zoonosis great socio-economic importance endemic in Turkey. In three-year period from 2009 2011, total 281 spp. isolates cattle, sheep goats were identified cha...

FcγRIIIA on macrophages and FcγRIIA on dendritic cells mediate ADCC and vaccinal effects, respectively.

Infectious bursal disease (IBD), also known as Gumboro disease, is a globally well-known disease with a significant socio-economic effect. For control of IBD, several commercial egg- and cell-based vaccines are prepared. The cell-based IBD vaccines are significantly cost-effective; however, it is essential to confirm their safety and efficacy. The main cell line used to product the cell-based I...

Newcastle disease is one of the main concerns of poultry farmers. Detection of virulent strains of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has a great impact on control measures against the disease. In this study RT-PCR was optimized in high sensitivity in order to differentiate the virulent from non-virulent NDV isolates directly in tissue homogenates. The vaccinal NDV strain and known field isolates we...

  Mass vaccination against viral infections such as mumps is a very noticeable and appropriate attempt in common health. Mumps infection has severe complications like deafness, infertility and meningitis. Attenuated live vaccine of mumps is produced and used to prevent the problems. Viral content in the monovalent vaccine is assayed with different methods. Nowadays international standards intro...

The mycobacterial lipoarabinomannans (LAMs) are glycosylphosphatidyl-myo-inositol-anchored lipoglycans with diverse biological activities. It has been shown that purified LAMs interact directly, or indirectly, through receptors with the plasma membrane receptors of target cells located in domains rich in glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins that contain Src family protein tyrosine kin...
