Post-polymerization synthesis of a poly(α-naphthylamine)/ninhydrin composite with enhanced surface area for efficient urea adsorption

Abstract The presence of urea in aqueous environments and industrial effluents poses significant environmental and health concerns due to its persistence and contribution to nitrogen pollution, necessitating the development of efficient and stable adsorbents. This study reports t...

Concurrent infection with Clostridium chauvoei, Clostridium septicum and Clostridium perfringens type A in cattle: a case report

Blackleg, caused by Clostridium chauvoei , is an acute, fatal infectious disease characterized by necrotizing myositis and toxemia primarily affecting cattle and sheep. Gas gangrene (malignant edema), a similar necrotizing myositis, is caused by multiple anaerobes including C. ch...

Simultaneous suppression of Polyphagotarsonemus latus and Tetranychus urticae by Neoseiulus californicus on greenhouse pepper

Greenhouse pepper is frequently attacked by two economically important mites: the broad mite Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks) (Acari: Tarsonemidae) and the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae). The release of the predatory mite Neoseiulus calif...

Brucella abortus RB51 vaccination: a comprehensive systematic review of safety, efficacy, and global field outcomes (1990–2025)

Brucella abortus strain RB51 is a live attenuated rough vaccine developed to overcome the serological interference of conventional smooth vaccines. Since replacing strain S19 in the United States (1996) and globally thereafter, RB51 has been promoted as a DIVA (Differentiating In...
