The cranial and postcranial anatomy of the basal hadrosaurid dinosaur Eotrachodon orientalis, from the uppermost Santonian of southern Appalachia (southeastern U.S.A.), is described in detail. This animal is the only known pre-Campanian non-lambeosaurine hadrosaurid, and the most complete hadrosauroid known from Appalachia. E. orientalis possesses a mosaic of plesiomorphic and derived character...

We report here the whole-genome shotgun sequence of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain UASWS BA1, isolated from inner wood tissues of a decaying Platanus × acerifolia tree. This strain proved to be antagonistic to several plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes and can be developed as a biological control agent in agriculture.

The Molecules Editorial Office wishes to make the following erratum to this paper [1]. There is a misspelling in the title of “Antioxidant, Lipoxygenase and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory Activities of Acridocarbus orientalis from Al Ain and Oman.” The correct title should be “Antioxidant, Lipoxygenase and Histone Deacetylase Inhibitory Activities of Acridocarpus orientalis from Al Ain and Oman...

In the present study, a novel antigenic protein expressed in the piroplasm stage of Theileria orientalis was characterized. A 4,707 bp genomic fragment amplified by PCR contained two open reading frames (ORFs). The deduced amino acid sequence of the first ORF showed significantly high similarlity to the ubiquitin carboxy terminal hydrolases/proteases while the second ORF (To ORF2) showed homolo...

The synthetic juvenile hormone analogue (S)-hydroprene can control populations of the oriental cockroach Blatta orientalis Linnaeus. Eradication of B. orientalis infestations, however, can take in excess of two years. In an attempt to reduce the time (S)-hydroprene takes to eliminate a population of oriental cockroaches, we explored the possibility of using the oothecal endoparasitoid Aprostoce...

Moisture content (MC) is one of the most important factors that can affect many physical and mechanical properties of wood and veneers. MC strongly affects the final strength and durability of joints, development of surface checks in the wood and dimensional stability of the bonded assembly. In this study, plywood panels made from Alnus glutinosa (Alder), Fagus orientalis (Beech) and Picea orie...

Background: Although the small clinical relevance of trees in pollinosis, as compared to other plants, is well known, in Barcelona the role of the plane tree (Platanus acerifolia), the most numerous tree species in the city, is significant. We have carried our a clinical and immunological study of the hypersensitivity to the pollen of Platanus acerifolia (hybrida) in Barcelona in order to asses...

A PCR-based survey of hemoprotozoa parasites detected Babesia bigemina, Theileria orientalis and Trypanosoma theileri among cattle and water buffalo in Vietnam, and a new Babesia sp. closely related to Babesia ovata was detected in cattle only. In addition, Theileria annulata and Trypanosoma evansi were not detected in both cattle and water buffalo. Phylogenetic analysis detected T. orientalis ...
