  10. Difference in pathogenicity of 2 strains of avian leukosis virus subgroup J in broiler chicken

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTAvian leukosis virus subgroup J has been found to infect many types of chickens with various genetic backgrounds. The ALV-J strain NX0101, which was isolated from broiler breeders in 2001, mainly induces the formation of myeloid cell tumors. However, strain HN10PY01, which was recently isolated from laying hens, mainly induces the formation of myeloid cell tumors and hemangioma.

      Aim

      To investigate the use of a light scattering sensor, BARDOT (BActerial Rapid Detection using Optical scattering Technology) coupled with a multi‐pathogen selective medium, SEL (Salmonella, Escherichia, and Listeria) for concurrent detection of the three major foodborne pathogens in a single assay.

  14. Evaluation of genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of ethyl acetate extract of Aspergillus flavus on Spodoptera litura

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Abstract

      Aim

      Recent concerns about the possible adverse effects of agricultural chemicals on health and environment have generated a considerable interest in biological alternatives. This study aimed to test the insecticidal potential of fungus Aspergillus flavus and revealed its genotoxic and cytotoxic effects using Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) as a model.
