Oriental theileriosis associated with a new genotype of Theileria orientalis in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) calves in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Theileria orientalis is known to cause a benign infection in cattle and buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). However, the Ikeda and Chitose genotypes of the parasite cause lethal disease in beef and dairy cattle. Recently an outbreak of clinical oriental theileriosis occurred in buffalo calves in a Government Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Farm located in Uttar Pradesh, India.

Molecular and serological detection of Anaplasma infection in carrier cattle in north India.

Anaplasma marginale infection in cattle (n = 216) in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, North India was screened by microscopy and nested-polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two recombinant proteins viz. major surface protein (MSP) 5 and MSP2 of A.

Spatiotemporal analysis of human exposure to halogenated flame retardant chemicals.

Human exposure to flame retardants occurs in microenvironments due to their ubiquitous presence in consumer products and building materials. Recent research suggests higher levels of exposure through elevated surface dust (ESD) compared to floor dust (FD). However, it is unclear whether this pattern is consistent in different microenvironments beyond the home.
