Article Synopsis
- The poultry red mite (PRM) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry due to its blood-feeding habits and role as a vector for pathogens.
- The study successfully established a stable PRM laboratory colony, allowing for consistent research on mite behavior and drug discovery amidst growing acaricidal resistance.
- Growth data showed that PRM population increased significantly over 28 days, demonstrating effective maintenance conditions for future studies on pest control strategies.
Aim: To portray liver disease and project outcomes in carriers of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in the general population.
Methods: Liver disease was evaluated in 1019 individuals who were found with HCV infection at blood donation, and they were followed for 5-10 years with or without receiving interferon (IFN).
Results: At baseline, chronic hepatitis was detected in 529 (51.
Treatment with excessive amounts of Vitamin A during maternity induces fetal malformations. However, it is unclear whether these malformations are due to gene mutations or not. Using transgenic mice (containing lacZ gene showing beta-galactosidase enzymatic activity), we planned to observe whether gene mutations occur in the fetal tissues after treatment during maternity with Vitamin A (retinol palmitate).
