A two-component regulatory system playing a critical role in plant pathogens and endosymbionts is present in Brucella abortus and controls cell invasion and virulence
(Blackwell Science, 1998-04-08)
Two mutants showing increased sensitivity to polycations and surfactants were obtained by transposon mutagenesis of virulent Brucella abortus 2308 Nal(r). These mutants showed no obvious in vitro growth defects and produced ...
An electrophoretic study on phospholipase A2 isoenzymes in the venoms of Central American crotaline snakes
(Elsevier, 1992)
The number and isoelectric points of phospholipase A2 isoenzymes were studied in the venoms of 12 Central American crotaline snakes of the genera Bothrops, Crotalus, Lachesis and Agkistrodon. The study was carried out by ...
Bactericidal activity of Lys49 and Asp49 myotoxic phospholipases A2 from Bothrops asper snake venom Synthetic Lys49 myotoxin II-(115−129)-peptide identifies its bactericidal region
(FEBS, 1998)
Mammalian group-II phospholipases A2 (PLA2) of inflammatory fluids display bactericidal properties, which are dependent on their enzymatic activity. This study shows that myotoxins II (Lys49) and III (Asp49), two group-II ...
Breeding soundness evaluation of extensively managed bulls in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 1999-02-17)
This paper describes the results of single breeding soundness evaluations (BSE) in 898 Bos indicus, Bos taurus and B. indicus x B. taurus bulls, 1 to 12 yr. old, extensively reared in different climatic regions of Costa ...
Bovine Leukaemia‐virus infection in Costa Rica
(Blackwell Wissenschaft, 1995)
The geographical distribution of bovine leukaemia‐virus (BLV)‐infected herds in Costa Rica and the isolation of BLV from cases of enzootic bovine leukosis are presented. It was found that BLV is prevalent throughout the ...
Brucella-Salmonella lipopolysaccharide chimeras are less permeable to hydrophobic probes and more sensitive to cationic peptides and EDTA than are their native Brucella sp. counterparts
(American Society for Microbiology, 1996-08-12)
A rough (R) Brucella abortus 45/20 mutant was more sensitive to the bactericidal activity of polymyxin B and lactoferricin B than was its smooth (S) counterpart but considerably more resistant than Salmonella montevideo. ...
First report of bovine neosporosis in dairy cattle in Costa Rica
(British Veterinary Association, 1998-05-09)
NEOSPOROSIS has recently been recognised as a major cause of
abortion in dairy cattle worldwide (Barr and others 1990, Duff
and Otter 1994, Boulton and others 1995). The disease is caused
by the protozoan parasite, ...
Comparison of Agar Gel Immunodiffusion Test, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay and Western Blotting for the Detection of BLV Antibodies
(Blackwell, 1999-10)
An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the diagnosis of bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) infection was developed and compared with the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGIDT). Western blotting (WB) was used ...
Prevalence of antibodies to bovine paratuberculosis detected by a LAM-ELISA in Costa Rica
(British Veterinary Association, 1999-03)
In Costa Rica the diagnosis of Johne's disease has been based
on clinical, histopathological and bacteriological evidence and
cutaneous testing; however, the prevalence of the disease at the
national level is unknown. ...
Estudio retrospectivo de la etapa final de los Juegos Deportivos Nacionales, 1976-1988, como aporte a la promoción deportiva en Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 1990)
Presenta una recopilación de los Juegos Deportivos Nacionales en Costa Rica con competencias en 9 a 11 deportes. La investigación se realizó con un total de 14.887 participantes masculinos y femeninas y un incremento ...
