an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of potato replacing maizeseed on performance characteristicsand immunes system of broiler chicken in a completely randomized design. a total of 220 broiler chicks were randomly assigned to 5 treatment groups, with 4 replicates of 11 birds each. the chicks in the first group were fed basal diet (control), 2nd and 3rd groups ...

visit-to-visit variability (vvv) in blood pressure (bp) creates challenges to hypertension control and was independent associated with increased all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients. the major goal of the present study was to investigate the association of vvv in systolic (s)bp with progression of carotid atherosclerosis and en-dothelial dysfunction in on-treated hypertensive patients.o...

horizontal transmission of an isolate of the etomopathogenic fungus, beauveria bassiana kcf102, was examined by allowing inoculated eurygaster integriceps put. adults to mate with non-inoculated ones. in case of susceptibility to b. bassiana, there was no significant difference between the males and females. however, there was significant difference among treatments for mortality of non-inocula...

Background: Inflammatory acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by the COV-2 virus. Neutrophils have been implicated in pathophysiology of COVID-19 pandemic since its inception, particularly individuals with advanced disease. This confirmed a large number studies. Methods: The study included 200 patients, whom 100 were critical group (group 1) and non-critical 2). White blood cell (WBC) pe...

effect of five soybean varieties (sahar, jk, bp, williams and l17) on life cycle and fecundity of the beet armyworm, spodoptera exigua (hã¼bner) was evaluated at temperature of 25 â± 1â°c, 60 â± 5% r.h. and a photoperiod of 16: 8 (l: d) h. the preimaginal development period of males and females was longest on l17 (30.17 â± 0.28 and 29.63 â± 0.23 days) and shortest on bp and sahar. the adult lon...

virulence of blastospores and conidia of the fungus metarhizium anisopliae were investigatedon different instar nymphs and adults of sunn pest, eurygater integriceps. experiments werecarried out through a factorial arrangement in a completely randomized design of threereplications. the bioassays were performed through immersion method. results revealedsignificant differences among virulence of ...
