Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious neurological disease of horses in the Americas. The protozoan most commonly associated with EPM is Sarcocystis neurona. The complete life cycle of S. neurona is unknown, including its natural intermediate host that harbors its sarcocyst. Opossums (Didelphis virginiana, Didelphis albiventris) are its definitive hosts. Horses are considered it...

The objective of this study was to estimate the relation of body condition score (BCS) near calving to the body condition change in early lactation, the reproductive performance, milk yield and culling rate in the first lactation Estonian Holstein dairy cows. Cows were divided into three groups based on their BCS at calving; thin, BCS ≤3.0 (n=29); moderate, BCS 3.25–3.5 (n= 48); and fat, BCS ≥3...

although the high infection rate of microscopic sarcocyst occurs in cattle, to the best of our knowledge,there is no report about the identification of macroscopic sarcocyst in iran. in this work, sarcosystis hirsutawas first isolated from slaughtered cattle. in a 2-year-old slaughtered cattle, morphological examinationrevealed 3-5 mm in length cysts distributed in different striated muscles, p...

A theory of traces of computations has emerged within the field of coalgebra, via finality in Kleisli categories. In concurrency theory, traces are traditionally obtained from executions, by projecting away states. These traces and executions are sequences and will be called “thin”. The coalgebraic approach gives rise to both “thin” and “fat” traces/executions, where in the “fat” case the struc...

different layers of acorn (quercus infectoria), hull, seed coat and seed kernel were analyzed for determination of chemical composition. the results of the preliminary analysis showed that acorn contained more than 65% carbohydrates, 8% lipid and 10% tannin among other constituents. the fatty acid composition of the seed oil was determined using thin layer chromatography and comparing with ...
