background: gnathostoma spinigerum causes larva migran in human which is endemic in southeast asia. information regarding larva migration is limited. in this study, we investigated the parasite migra­tion by recovery of worms from the whole body of mouse after oral infection with advanced third stage larvae (al3). the percentage of blood eosinophils was examined in parallel. methods: mice were ...

The highlight of worm outbreaks in 2004 was a new phenomenon called ‘War of the Worms’ between NetSky, Bagle and MyDoom worm variants. Their aftermaths caused the record-high of 12 outbreaks in first quarter alone. This war created complex interactions among worms referring to one worm terminating another worm. In this paper, we try to answer the following questions: How much does this scenario...

Problem statement: Rapid urbanization and population growth are largely responsible for very high increasing rate of solid waste in the urban areas, its proper management and recycling is major problems of Municipal Corporation. Conversion of industrial wastes in to beneficial vermicompost not only solves solid waste accumulation but also yield highly nutritive organic manure. Approach: Enhanci...

The transmission of Ascaris suum was studied in outdoor reared pigs. From May to June 2001, 6 farrowing paddocks were naturally contaminated with A. suum using experimentally infected seeder pigs. Early July, 1 sow farrowed on each paddock. One piglet per litter was slaughtered every second week starting at week 3 post-partum (p.p.) for registration of liver white spots and recovery of A. suum ...

Chicks (Gallus gallus domesticus) learn to peck soon after hatching and then peck in rapid bursts or bouts with intervals of non-pecking activity. The food sources may be static such as seeds and chick crumb, or mobile such as a mealworm. Here, changes with age in pecking toward chick crumb and a mealworm were measured. Chicks were reared in pairs and their pecking of crumb food was video recor...

Does statistical copolymerization of n-butyl methacrylate with benzyl lower the critical temperature required for vesicle-to-worm and worm-to-sphere transitions diblock copolymer nano-objects in mineral oil?

In order to determine the potential of various temperature treabnents for disinfesting dried fruits and nuts of postha1:vest insect pests, high temperature/exposure response cw:ves for navel oran;Jeworm eggs and pupae and Indiarnneal moth pupae were estimated. For navel oran;Jeworm eggs, 99% mortality was achieved after exposure to 490e for 14 minutes. For navel orange worm pupae, 99% mortaliti...

An encounter-based network is a frequently-disconnected wireless ad-hoc network requiring immediate neighbors to store and forward aggregated data for information disseminations. Using traditional approaches such as gateways or firewalls to deter worm propagation in encounter-based networks is inappropriate. We propose a worm interaction approach that relies upon automated beneficial worm gener...
