"We're seeing similar effects in Scotland, Norway, and Ireland; in each area parasite amplification on fish farms seems to increase disease levels in the local fish community. However previous studies have not shown nor quantified the direct transmission. This stu...

Examination of internal 'wiring' of yeast, worm, and fly reveals conserved circuits

...l three species we were more confident that we are seeing something real." Biologists have known for many years that in even distantly related species, nature doesn't reinvent the wheel. Similar proteins involved in essential cellular functions are often similar across species. "This new result indicates t...

Live vaccines more effective against horse herpes virus

... associated with equine herpes. "It appears we are seeing it with more frequency and in a larger number of horses," he said. Previous studies on horses have found the inactivated vaccines are not very effective in lowering equine virus levels in the blood or preventing abortions caused by the virus. "Based...

Scientists journey to southern Africa to unravel the secret world of elephant communication

...'s so fantastic here," she says. "We're constantly seeing elephants, rhinos, zebras, ostriches--it's the Garden of Eden." A research associate in the Stanford University School of Medicine, O'Connell-Rodwell has come to one of Africa's premiere wildlife sanctuaries to explore the mysterious and complex wor...

Are rice and wheat behind China's population boom?

...their local ecology." Crawford says what they are seeing now is a very sophisticated knowledge about growing rice - how to intensify yields through the introduction of nutrients in the water and knowledge of water management practices.

Migratory songbirds have a specialized night-vision brain area

...seem to have a brain area specifically adapted for seeing during their night-time flight," Jarvis said. The researchers suspect that the newly discovered brain region could be involved in processing and integrating light-dependent magnetic compass information and star compass information; and thus may be re...

Bee mites suppress bee immunity, open door for viruses and bacteria

...hology, who raised bees in China. "I do not recall seeing deformed wing bees in the Chinese bee. Chinese honey bees have grooming behavior which can remove the mites from the bees. They get rid of the mites." While researchers know that the Varroa mite is behind the death of bee colonies, the mechanism cau...

UCLA study assesses cost-effectiveness of Hepatitis B drugs

Newer imaging techniques may lead to over-treatment

...tecting small blood clots not previously seen, but seeing more may have little impact on the patient's outcome, a new study suggests. The study included 198 patients with suspected pulmonary embolism. About half of the patients (98) had a multidetector CT (MDCT) examination; 100 patients had a single-detec...
