Language of primary medical qualification and differential MRCGP exam attainment: an observational study.

Background: International medical graduates (IMGs) comprise more than half of GP registrars but are more likely to fail postgraduate assessments than UK graduates.

Aim: To assess whether there is an association between the language of the primary medical qualification (PMQ) and Membership of the Royal College of General Practitioners (MRCGP) results, and whether performance in previous prequalification assessments is correlated.

Design And Setting: Retrospective observational study in the UK.

Diversity and phylogenetic analysis of endosymbiotic bacteria from field caught Bemisia tabaci from different locations of North India based on 16S rDNA library screening.

Bemisia tabaci is the major vector pest of agricultural crops all over the world. In this study we report the different bacterial endosymbionts associated with B. tabaci sampled from 14 different locations in North India.
