The effects of heat-killed on intestinal morphology and humoral immune responses of broiler chickens.

Background And Objectives: species are Gram-positive rods that exist in a broad range of environments. In this study, the efficacy of heat-killed on growth performance, intestinal morphology, and humoral immune responses of broiler chicken was evaluated.

Materials And Methods: Ross broiler chicks in the cage were randomly allocated to five groups.

Predicting and Correcting Missing Data on Diffusion Processes in Multiplex Networks.

The diffusion process in networks is studied with the objective of identifying the dynamics and for predicting the behavior of network entities. Social media plays an important role in people's lives. Diffusion processes, as one of the most important branches of social media analysis, have their presence in various domains such as information spreading, diffusion of innovation, idea dissemination, and product acceptance to identify user's pattern and their behavior in social media networks.

Prevalence, biology, pathology, and public health importance of linguatulosis of camel in Iran.

Linguatula serrata is a cosmopolitan zoonotic parasite with its adult form occurring in the nasal and respiratory passages of canids as the definitive hosts, while its immature stages localize in the mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, spleen, lungs, and, rarely, in other organs, such as the ocular region of herbivorous intermediate hosts. Humans can behave as both intermediate and final host and are infected by visceral and nasopharyngeal linguatulosis. Consumption of infected, improperly cooked viscera of the intermediate hosts, including sheep, goats, cattle, camels, or other herbivores containing the larval stages of this parasite is a potential source of infection of human beings with the nasopharyngeal form of linguatulosis.
