EVALUATION OF A BACULOVIRUS-EXPRESSED VP2 SUBUNIT VACCINE FOR THE PROTECTION OF WHITE-TAILED DEER (ODOCOILEUS VIRGINIANUS) FROM EPIZOOTIC HEMORRHAGIC DISEASE

Epizootic hemorrhagic disease virus (EHDV) is an arthropod-transmitted RNA virus and the causative agent of epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) in wild and domestic ruminants.In North America, white-tailed deer (WTD) experience the highest EHD-related morbidity and mortality, although clinical disease is reported in cattle during severe epizootics.

This paper presents a study on a multiscale pore connectivity network derived from a sandstone image.We first convert a grayscale sandstone image into pore and grain regions.The binary pore-grain image is transformed into multiscale pore by performing morphological opening operations with increasing structuring element size.A pore connectivity netw

The biocontrol of soilborne plant pathogens represents a promising approach from the environ- mental and practical points of view.Fluorescent pseudomonad rhizobacteria are well known by their antagonis- tic capacity towards several plant pathogens due to a diversity of antimicrobial metabolites they produce.This study was conceived to select and ch

This paper aims to present a great challenge which humanity faces, and which is climate change.Together with food and water shortages which will hit more and more humanity in the years ahead, climate change (which will only amplify these negative facts) will bring negative consequences on economy and society, and in international relations area, to
