THE DROMEDARY CAMEL (CAMELUS DROMEDARIUS) FEED RESOURCES AND UTILIZATION PRACTICES IN BORANA PLATEAU, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA

The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) feed resources and utilization practices in Borana Plateau, southern Ethiopia

AbstractAlthough camel production is the primary source of revenue for pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in the Borana, a number of issues affect camel performance in the area, with one of the most pressing being feed availability.Camel production often involves optimizing available feed availability, which is considered to be the principal limiti

The endogenous Th17 response in NO2-promoted allergic airway disease is dispensable for airway hyperresponsiveness and distinct from Th17 adoptive transfer.

Severe, glucocorticoid-resistant asthma comprises 5-7% of patients with asthma.IL-17 is a biomarker of severe asthma, and the adoptive transfer of Th17 cells in mice is sufficient to induce glucocorticoid-resistant allergic airway disease.Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an environmental toxin that correlates with Sluice Mat asthma severity, exacerbation,

Differential Roles for Six P-Type Calcium ATPases in Sustaining Intracellular Ca2+ Homeostasis, Asexual Cycle and Environmental Fitness of Beauveria bassiana

Abstract A global insight into the roles of multiple P-type calcium ATPase (CA) pumps in sustaining the life of a filamentous fungal pathogen is lacking.Here we elucidated the functions of five CA pumps (Eca1, Feeders Spf1 and PmcA/B/C) following previous characterization of Pmr1 in Beauveria bassiana, a fungal insect pathogen.The fungal CA pumps i
