Researchers reveal the infectious impact of salmon farms on wild salmon
A new study published in the March 30th edition of the prestigious scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (a publication of the UK's national academy of science) shows that the transfer of parasitic sea lice from salmon farms to wild salmon populations is much larger and more extensive than previously believed. This quantitative analysis of parasite transfer is a scientific...Transgenic plants remove more selenium from polluted soil than wild plants, new tests show
In the first field trial of plants genetically tweaked to absorb more contaminants, researchers found that the transgenic plants handily beat out their wild-type counterparts. The results raised hopes that the plants might become a viable alternative for cleaning up polluted soil. The new research findings, published Feb. 1 in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, show that th...Ebola virus: from wildlife to dogs
Since 1976 the Ebola virus has caused some lethal human epidemics in Central Africa. Research now indicates that humans do not become directly contaminated from the animal reservoir, which is an any case still unknown, but from infected carcasses of chimpanzees, gorillas and certain forest antelopes. Results have come from work conducted over the past several years by IRD scientists and their par...Wild grasses and man-made wheats advance research capabilities
Getting resistance to the latest biotype of greenbug or rust in wheat may require some bridge building. "We're looking for new unique sources of resistance to var...Proposal would allow wild animals to roam North America
If Cornell University researchers and their colleagues have their way, cheetahs, lions, elephants, camels and other large wild animals may soon roam parts of North America. "If we only have 10 minutes to present this idea, people think we're nuts," said Harry Greene, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Cornell. "But if people hear the one-hour version, they realize they haven...Human Topoisomerase I Wild Type from Calbiochem
Description:Liquid. In 100 mM KCl, 20 mM Tris-HCl, 1 mM DTT, 200 µM EDTA, 20% glycerol, pH 7.9. AVOID FREEZE/THAW CYCLES. Human DNA topoisomerase I (Topo I) is a monomeric protein of 765 amino acids encoded by a single-copy gene. It catalyzes the relaxation of both positive and negative supercoiled DNAs without the requirement of energy. In addition to DNA replication...Src cDNA Expression Kit (wild type) from Upstate

MADISON - With the slim chance that farmers will stop planting crops containing genes from other organisms, researchers have started to develop strategies that trap these foreign genes, reducing the risk that they'll spread to wild relatives. But an investigation by scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota-St. Paul shows that these containment s...Bird Flu Strains Detected In Wild Birds Of Mongolia
Scientists from US department of Agriculture had found the strains of bird flu disease in the wild migratory birds in Mongolia. This is for the first time the disease of avian influenza had been detected in any strain of wild birds // that have no contact with the domestic poultry, or waterfowl. The team of researchers from Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) had collected samples from...Bird flu vaccine from wild bird flu strain
New bird flu vaccine is to be developed from this year’s strain of Bird flu virus which has been collected from wild birds which has killed wild and migratory poultry and birds in Mongolia under the directive of World Health Organization (WHO). //WHO has given orders to the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Veterinarian to prepare the vaccine which would be very helpful during a possibl...Infectious Diseases of the Wild to grow
Infectious diseases involving animals, such as SARS, Avian flu and AIDS are likely to grow as people travel more and have increased contact with wild life, says a scientist.//Of the pathogens causing infectious diseases, 75 percent are zoonotic that are able to transmit from animals to humans, writes Andrew Cunningham of the Institute of Zoology at the Zoological Society of London in an a...With a healthy heart stick to the wild salmon
In a study related to health risk or benefit analysis it has been found that unless heart disease is a risk factor wild salmon is better than farmed salmon // . The reasoning put forth is that although farmed salmon is richer in omega 3 fatty acids it also has a large amount of chemical contaminants. These chemicals are known to be a cause of cancer, memory impairment and neuro...Wild ducks infected with bird flu
Turkey is kept on high alert after bird flu was detected and resulted in the death of the three siblings from the same family. Recently bird flu has been detected in wild ducks near Ankara, the capital town.// Agriculture and Rural Affairs Minister Mehdi Eker said that the people need not fear as all measures are being done to protect the them from the disease. Over ten areas are detec...Wilder Lacrimal Dilator - Short
