Introducing automation to the molecular diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection: A comparative study of sample treatments, DNA extraction methods and real-time PCR assays
Background: Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) has become a useful tool for the diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The development of automated DNA extraction methodologies and PCR systems is an important step toward ...
A phylogenetic road map to antimalarial Artemisia species
Ethnopharmacological relevance The discovery of the antimalarial agent artemisinin is considered one of the most significant success stories of ethnopharmacological research in recent times. The isolation of artemisinin ...
Optimization of a quality model for CCA industrial impregnation of Pinus radiata D. Don agricultural fencing stakes
Impregnation of agricultural fencing stakes (Pinus radiata D. Don) using wood preservative solutions, like chromated copper arsenate (CCA-C), a water soluble salt, to protect them from decay and insect damage was investigated ...
Removal of Waterborne Viruses by Tetrahymena pyriformis Is Virus-Specific and Coincides with Changes in Protist Swimming Speed
<p>Biological treatment of waterborne viruses, specifically grazing of viruses by protists, can enhance microbial water quality while avoiding the production of toxic byproducts and high energy costs. However, tangible ...

The importance of the age when evaluating mercury pollution in fishes: the case of Diplodus sargus (Pisces, Sparidae) in the NW Mediterranean
The aim of this study was to analyse the concentration of mercury (Hg) in the muscle of a common littoral, omnivorous fish such as the white seabream, Diplodus sargus, and to evaluate its relationship with the age and size ...
Effect of pRi T-DNA genes and elicitation on morphology and phytoecdysteroid biosynthesis in Ajuga bracteosa hairy roots
The medicinal plant Ajuga bracteosa is a rich source of biologically active and metabolism-enhancing phytoecdysteroids. Transgenic hairy roots from A. bracteosa were obtained by infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes ...
A guide for the generation of repositories of clinical samples for research on Chagas disease.
Chagas disease, caused by the parasite <em>Trypanosoma cruzi</em>, affects over 6 million people, mainly in Latin America. Two different clinical phases, acute and chronic, are recognized. Currently, two anti-parasitic ...
Sampling the conformational energy landscape of a hyperthermophilic protein by engineering key substitutions
<p>Proteins exist as a dynamic ensemble of interconverting substates, which defines their conformational energy landscapes. Recent work has indicated that mutations that shift the balance between conformational substates ...
