Oregon State University swine herd records of 456
litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were
analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in
performance of a Composite population to parental
Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in
six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat
thickness, loin eye...
Antibacterial activities in the salivary glands of
female mosquitoes Aedes aegypti were investigated in this
study.
The mean salivary bacteriolytic activity, during a
period of 14-day of female mosquitoes exposed to five
different concentrations of Gram-positive bacteria
Micrococcus lysodeikticus in the sucrose meal, was
detected by a lysoplate method. A...
This study investigated some functional and
biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in
the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for
the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary
gland components is also described. Based on some of its
biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be
classified...
