Background and Aim: Cutaneous tuberculosis (CTB) is still difficult to diagnose due to its varied clinical presentation and limitations of diagnostic methods.The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of diagnostic laboratory tests available for CTB.Materials and Methods: Twenty-six skin biopsy specimens belonging to clinically suspected cas
Abstract Hymenopteran parasitoids are well known for their ubiquitous diversity, important ecological roles and biocontrol potential.We report the first detailed documentation of mite predation by a parasitoid wasp, Bracon predatorius Ranjith & Quicke sp.nov., (Insecta: Hymenoptera), first case of obligate predatory behaviour in the family Braconid
Background: The epithelial layer of the nasal mucosa is the first barrier for drug permeation during intranasal drug delivery.With increasing interest for intranasal pathways, adequate in vitro models are required.Here, porcine olfactory (OEPC) and respiratory (REPC) primary cells were characterised against the nasal tumour cell line RPMI 2650.Meth
