ABSTRACT Plant indirect induced defenses against herbivores are characterized by the production of plant volatiles that to attract natural enemies.The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the attack of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae or the multiple herbivory of T.urticae together with the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugipe

Analysis of the immune response of infected bovines with anaplasma marginale. Identification of infection stage marker antigens

It is hypothesized the existence of marker antigens capable to define early (acute phase) or late (convalescent phase) infection course with Anaplasma marginale.Five parasitologically free hybrid calves were splenectomized and experimentally infected with a Zulia isolate of Anaplasma marginale.Sera samples were collected before inoculation and duri
