The decrease in foaling rates after artificial insemination with cooled semen warrants the search for new predictors of fertility.The objectives were to investigate levels of naturally occurring reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cooled, stored stallion semen doses for artificial insemination (AI), and their relationship with parameters of semen qual
Abstract Background Morphogen signalling represents a key mechanism of developmental processes during animal development.Previously, several evolutionary conserved morphogen signalling pathways have been identified, and their players such as the morphogen receptors, morphogen modulating factors (MMFs) and the morphogens themselves have been studied
Vector-borne diseases spread from wild animals and their associated ectoparasites to humans and domesticated animals.Wildlife markets are recognized as important areas where this transfer can take place.We assessed the potential for spreading vector-borne diseases in two live and wet markets in Myanmar (Mong La, on the Myanmar-China border) and Ind
