Varroa mites (Varroa destructor) continue to pose a serious threat to honey bee (Apis mellifera spp.) health, exhibiting significant resistance development to synthetic acaricides. This study investigated the efficacy of thyme (Origanum onites L.) essential oil (TEOV) as botanical alternative, focusing on mite survival across different feeding contexts and the underlying molecular responses. Adult mites were exposed to three TEOV doses (0.1, 1, and 10 ppm), across different feeding contexts (GA;larvae, GB;fat body, and GC;live honey bee). Mortality exhibited dose and time dependency, particularly at 24 h post-exposure to TEOV. The most responsive host tissue was found to be the mites feeding on larvae and fat b

The animals were sacrificed if they did not die naturally at 24-48hr, 3, 6, 9, 30 day post-infection (p.i.). The results showed dullness of the animals with nasal and ocular discharge and some animals dead at 48hr and 72 hr p.i. (two animals from the 1st group and four animals f

The developmental study of supraoccipital bone has been done in the rabbit fetuses, which including detection the timing primary appearance and pattern of ossification by using double staining method as well as, histological study which squired for each stages of present study. The double staining technique which are furthering by histological examination for each age, showed the supraoccipital bone was ossify by intramembranous method. The results showed that the primary ossification centers of supraoccipital appeared firstly at(22) day of gestation, and showed direct red staining, at(24) day of gestation, these centers become fused. The supraoccipital bone appear its completely intramembranous ossification at (30) day of gestation and

Today, the consumer demand is safety, nutritive value, taste, uniformity, meat variety, and good appearance of meat products. Thus, to meet the consumers' demand, development of product and research should be improved. Studies have been shown that the use of herbs, spices, and their extracts are of the major interventions, which were adopted in the industry of the meat for improving its quality traits. In the present paper, the most recent literature about use of bioactive compounds in herbal plants for evaluating a number of parameters related to meat quality, including fat

Feline urethral obstructions are common in young male cats because the urethra is long and narrow. It has a high mortality rate and most cases need urgent surgery to be resolved. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy of perineal urethrostomy (PU) in Male cats. The surgical procedure was accomplished on five Persian male cats; the postoperative administration included three days of catheterization and antibiotic therapy for seven days. The follow-up period was from six months up to 18 months. The results showed successful perineal urethrostomy for four of five cases without complications or re-obstruction episodes during the follow-up period. In conclusion, perineal urethrostomy demonstrate |
