Recognized as the causal agent of net blotch,Drechslera teresis responsible for major losses of barley crop yield. The consequences of this leaf disease are due to the impact of the infection on the photosynthetic performance of barley leaves. To limit the symptoms of this ascomycete, the use o...
Puromycin is a water soluble aminonucleoside antibiotic produced by the bacteriumStreptomyces alboniger; it inhibits protein synthesis by disrupting peptide transfer on ribosomes, causing premature chain termination during translation, and is thus a potent translational inhibitor in both prokaryotic and eukary...
2017). Phytophthora sojae Kaufmann & Gerdemann, the main causal agent of this disease, was initially reported in the mid-1950s in the Midwest region of the USA (Kaufmann and Gerdemann 1958) and has since become a major concern for soybean production causing annual losses of approximately 1.2 ...
Briefly, the first step was to direct the accumulation of an imaging/pretargeting agent at the disease site. Then, the second step was to deliver the therapeutic agent to the diseased tissue by interacting with the pretargeting agent [[10], [11], [12]]. For instance, radiolabeled ...
Vaccination is one of the most commonly used public health strategies to reduce the risk of infection and minimize the prevalence of the disease-causing agent (HPV) in the environment. Nearly all cases (99.7 %) of cervical cancer are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) [21], particularly typ...
[5]; 2) case and contact management; 3) providing education to prevent further transmission of disease; 4) determining the source, or possible sources if the definitive source is not identified, of the disease-causing agent; and 5) identifying potential outbreaks through linking cases who share...
