Dietary yeast affects preference and performance in .

Yeasts play an important role in nutrition physiology and host attraction of many species, and associations with various yeast species are documented for several drosophilid flies. The pest (Matsumura) has a predominant association with the yeast However, research has not been conducted on the nutritional physiology of the yeasts associated with (spotted wing drosophila). Therefore, in this study, we determined whether dietary yeast was nutritionally relevant and whether yeast species closely associated with positively affected life-history traits.

Investigations on California serogroup orthobunyaviruses in the Tyrols: first description of Tahyna virus in the Alps.

Seroprevalence rates for immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to Tahyna virus (TAHV) and Inkoo virus (INKV) were determined in sera of 1630 blood donors from North, East, and South Tyrol by immunofluorescence assays (IFAs) and confirmatory serum neutralization tests (SNTs). Ten sera (0.6%) reacted positive by TAHV IFA, five of which (0.

Risk assessment of transfusion-associated babesiosis in Tyrol: appraisal by seroepidemiology and polymerase chain reaction.

Background: After malaria, babesiosis is the second most common transfusion-transmitted parasitic disease in the United States. In Europe, one reported transfusion case, concerning Babesia microti, occurred in Germany.

Study Design And Methods: Due to the fact that Babesia spp.

Venturia inaequalis-inhibiting Diels-Alder adducts from Morus root bark.

In organic apple orcharding there is a continuous need for natural fungicides effective against Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) Winter, the causal agent of apple scab. In this study an in vitro assay is presented for determining the germination inhibitory potential of extracts and pure compounds. From a screening of plant extracts, the methanol extract of Morus root bark revealed distinct V.
