GENOMIC SELECTION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF ANTIBODY RESPONSE TO NEWCASTLE DISEASE AND AVIAN INFLUENZA VIRUS IN CHICKENS.

Genomic selection for the improvement of antibody response to Newcastle disease and avian influenza virus in chickens.

Newcastle disease (ND) and avian influenza (AI) are the most feared diseases in the poultry industry worldwide.They can cause flock mortality up to 100%, resulting in a catastrophic economic loss.This is the first study to investigate the feasibility of genomic selection for antibody response to Newcastle disease virus (Ab-NDV) and antibody respons

Morbidity and mortality associated with Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum infection in a tertiary care kidney hospital

Malaria is a disease of tropical regions and both types of plasmodia, i.e.Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, cause significant morbidity and mortality.P.vivax was thought to be benign and cause less morbidity and mortality.Many reports showed the devastating effect of vivax malaria too.We compared the clinical symptoms, laboratory markers,
