Hepatitis Virus B and Hepatitis Virus C Co-Infection Among HIV Patients and Development of an Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for Diagnosis of Equine Protozoa Myeloencephalitis
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Study 1: HIV patients with chronic HBV and/or HCV are more likely to die of liver disease and have a more rapid progression to Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) than patients solely infected with HIV. Blood samples ...
Emerging Infectious Diseases with Vaccination as a Major Control Approach: The Case of the African 2 (Af2) Clonal Complex of Mycobacterium Bovis in Uganda and Pneumococcal Vaccine for Streptococcus Pneumoniae in the United States
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Respiratory infectious diseases are among the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. This paper presents two respiratory diseases, Mycobacterium bovis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which cause significant ...
Role of ArcB/ArcA in the Regulation of Biofilm Formation in Escherichia coli in Conjunction with F1hD Expression
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The two goals of this study were to identify the affect that arcB has on biofilm formation and to determine whether this was dependent on AckA. Acetyl phosphate is formed from acetyl-CoA during acetate metabolism and is ...
Glucose Uptake by the Cellulolytic Rumen Anaerobe Bacteroides Succinogenes
(North Dakota State University, 1986)
Glucose uptake by the cellulclytic rumen anaerobe, Bacteroides succinogenes S85, was measured under conditions that maintained anaerobiosis and osmotic stability. This organism was found to possess a highly specific, active ...
Comparative Population Genetics of Fusarium Graminearum and Novel Sources of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Spring Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Fusarium graminearum is the major causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereal crops. The fungus produces several types of trichothecenes [Deoxynivalenol (DON) and its acetylated derivatives, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol ...
Biology and Development of Two Wilt Fungi of Potato: Verticilliam Dahliae and Colletotrichum Coccodes
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The demand for high quality tubers for the frozen processing industry has exerted increased pressure on producers to control diseases that can compromise tuber quality, including, C. coccodes and V. dahliae. Infection of ...
Characterization of Fusarium Head Blight Resistance in Wheat
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease threatening wheat production worldwide. Utilization of resistant wheat cultivars is generally considered as the most effective, economic and environmental friendly ...
Studies on the Management of Potato Mop-Top Virus-Induced Tuber Necrosis
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Tuber necrosis caused by the Potato Mop-top Virus (PMTV) has become one of the most important tuber necrosis diseases in the United States. PMTV is transmitted by the powdery scab pathogen (Spongospora subterranea f.sp ...
Spatial and Temporal Sensitivity of Alternaria Species Associated with Potato Foliar Diseases to Demethylation Inhibiting and Anilino-Pyrimidine Fungicides
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Early blight and brown spot, caused by Alternaria solani and Alternaria alternata,
respectively, are important foliar diseases of potato, affecting both tuber yield and quality. Most
of the commercial cultivars lack ...
Evaluation of Winter Wheat Germplasm for Resistance to Stripe Rust and Leaf Rust
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), and wheat stripe rust caused by P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) are important foliar diseases of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Breeding for disease resistance ...
