Giardia duodenalis is a common enteric protozoan that infects a range of hosts including humans and other mammals.Multilocus genotyping of G.duodenalis in captive non-human primates (NHPs) from zoos in China is limited.In this study, we evaluated 302 NHP fecal samples collected from 32 different NHP species.The primates were from 12 zoos distribute
In this study, we developed a novel method for the detection of Vibrio alginolyticus, utilizing the specific recognition of an aptamer for V.alginolyticus and signal amplification via hybridization chain reaction (HCR) and horseradish-peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin.The proposed HCR-based multivalent aptamer (multi-Apt) amplifier allows for sens
Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown.We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkephalin (Met-Enk), and the opioid antagonist naloxone on gonad development in the Eastern lubber grassho
Background and Aim: Vitiligo aggravates psychological problems such as anxiety and depression and ultimately reduces the quality of life in patients.This study aimed to compare the efficacy of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) with compassion-focused therapy (CFT) on psychological well-being and internalized shame in female students with viti
