Abstract Background The objective of the study was to determine the sustained effectiveness of 10% imidacloprid (w/w) and 4.5% flumethrin (w/w) incorporated in a slow-release matrix collar in preventing Dipylidium caninum infection in cats following repeated laboratory-infestations with fleas infected with metacestodes. Methods Efficacy against inf
Soil erosion has environmental and socioeconomic significances.Loess soils cover about 10% of the global land area.Most of these soils are subjected to increased land uses such as unpaved roads, which increase soil destruction and dust emission to the atmosphere.There is a significant interest in applications for dust control and soil stabilization
Transcription occurs in stochastic bursts.Early models based upon RNA Seeds hybridisation studies suggest bursting dynamics arise from alternating inactive and permissive states.Here we investigate bursting mechanism in live cells by quantitative imaging of actin gene transcription, combined with molecular genetics, stochastic simulation and probab
