Chlamydia spp. and Chlamydia-like organisms are able to infect vertebrates such as mammals, reptiles and birds, but also arthropods and protozoans. Since they have been detected in bats and bat feces, we expected Chlamydiae bacteria to also be present in the mite Spinturnix myoti, an ectoparasite of mouse-eared bats (Myotis spp.). The prevalence…[Read more]

The European red mite, Panonychus ulmi (Koch), is one of the most important apple orchard pests worldwide. Fenpyroximate, a mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor of complex I (METI-I), is a commonly used acaricide to control this pest. In this study, we determined fenpyroximate resistance levels for 11 P. ulmi populations from Iran and a…[Read more]

There is growing interest in the production of microalgae-based, high-value by-products as an emerging green biotechnology. However, a cultivation platform for Oocystis sp. MEK inhibitor has yet to be established. We therefore examined the effects of bacterial culture additions on the growth and production of valuable compounds of the microalgal…[Read more]

The results show that the probe will provide a powerful tool for the diagnosis and treatment of toxic hepatitis.In this report, 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MBA) and dithiobis (succinimidyl propionate) (DSP) were used as DA molecular recognizer, which bounded onto the prepared Pt@CeO2 nanomaterial and the electrode surface. A sandwich-like…[Read more]
