Growth inhibition of Beauveria bassiana by bacteria isolated from the cuticular surface of the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis and the planthopper, Delphacodes kuscheli, two important vectors of maize pathogens [PDF]
The phytosanitary importance of the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (De Long and Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) and the planthopper, Delphacodes kuscheli Fennah (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) lies in their ability to transmit phloem-associated plant ...

THE VIRULENCE OF LEPRA BACILLI
Does the virulence of M. leprae vary to any appreciable extent in nature? Is it stepped up when leprosy is first intro duced into a region where it has not previously existed, and where it spreads rapidly among the inhabitants as is reported to have occurred, for instance, in Hawaii and in the island of Nauru? Our inability to culture M.

Role of cytokines and nitric oxide in the induction of tuberculostatic macrophage functions
The aim of this study was to determine phenotypic differences when BCG invades macrophages. Bacilli prepared from the same BCG primary seed, but produced in different culture media, were analysed with respect to the ability to stimulate macrophages and ...
