Blood is a critically important human tissue, and for over a century, blood transfusions have saved the lives of countless patients. However, blood is often in short supply, and the cost of screening donated blood for immune compatibility and an ever-increasing number of blood-b…
Herbivory by wild and domestic ungulates influences tree recruitment and alters plant community composition in forests throughout the world. Herbivore-driven declines in tree recruitment have been widely observed for quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides), a foundation tree species…
The field of plant natural product (NP) discovery has changed substantially since the isolation of morphine from opium poppy in 1806. The largest of these changes came in the last decade with the integration of computational genomics into the field, which resulted in the develop…
Turkeys have to overcome several challenges early in life, including exposure to pathogens and difficulty with the transition from yolk as a nutrient source to CHO dietary sources. Probiotics are thought to help alleviate these symptoms in the post-hatch poult, but any beneficia…
A parvovirose canina é uma doença infecciosa que afeta os canídeos domésticos. Está associada a um quadro de doença gastrointestinal com vómitos e diarreia sanguinolenta. Em neonatos pode provocar doença cardíaca com morte aparentemente súbita. Nos casos mais graves, a quebra da…
Non-native plant pests and pathogens threaten biodiversity, ecosystem function, food security, and economic livelihoods. Preventing, minimizing, and mitigating damage from invasive non-native plant pests involve dynamic, multiscale strategies that are agile enough to respond to …
Modern political, social and economic forces are creating new contexts for human-nonhuman primate interaction, creating the possibility of cross-species pathogen transmission. This “hybrid” dissertation examines three facets of cross-species pathogen transmission on the Indonesi…
Objective of this study was to evaluate effect of UV-C radiation (0, 1.16 and 3.21 kJ/cm2), pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed essential oil (PGEO) and lemon (Citrus lemonum) plant essential oil (CLEO) on decontamination of Candida albicans, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcu…
Surface water contamination has been a global concern for years, especially in the developing world where high-quality centralized water treatment systems are often lacking. An alternative point-of-use household water treatment technology widely adopted in many developing countr…
The United States rejected the Biological Weapons Convention Protocol in July 2001. However, the anthrax attacks of October 2001 underscored the seriousness of the threat of bioterrorism against civilian population. Since then, an unprecedented level of biodefense resources and …
"This is a hands-on, practical guide to describe field trials in oil palm. The location for field trials is key, as is land preparation"--
In recent decades, infectious diseases, once believed to be fairly contained, have become a vital, resurgent field of research. In Host-Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Protocols, top experts examine the relationship between the host and the pathogen, crucial in the outcome of…
Endophytes are bacterial and fungal microorganisms that colonize plants, typically boosting the health of the host plant and altering its metabolism. This book explores the diversity of endophytes, their potential value and future challenges in the contexts of agricultural produ…

"While "genomics" is becoming a household term, knowing the genome of an organism alone provides relatively little information. Between the genome and the final organism is the "transcriptome" that tells us which genes are expressed and translated into proteins in a certain cell…
The research in this manuscript highlights new and improved methods to concentrate pathogens from a complex food matrix and detect them via PCR. These contributions to the science of rapid pathogen detection are unique in that they are designed to measure the efficacy of the con…
The new Fourth Edition of Bacterial Infections of Humans reflects a decade of important discoveries, technological progress, and valuable new therapies as well as emerging and reemerging infections, resistant strains of bacteria, and threats of bioterrorism. It offers accessible…
