21. Analyses of protein evolution, function, and architecture
Abstract : Proteins can evolve over time in many different ways. An ancestral protein sequence inherited in different species will gradually undergo changes in primary sequence and sometimes in domain architecture. Some of these changes will affect its function, and evolutionary analyses can be used to predict function shift. READ MORE

22. Feeding cassava foliage to sheep : nutrient properties and hydrogen cyanide toxicity
Abstract : The potential of cassava foliage (Manihot esculenta Crantz) as a protein-rich feed in sheep production in Vietnam was examined by studying cassava foliage yield, hydrogen cyanide (HCN) content, toxicity and performance of lambs fed the foliage as a supplement. Cassava foliage fed ad libitum as a protein supplement to a basal diet of urea-treated rice straw gave similar lamb live weight gain (LWG) as diets supplemented with commercial concentrate or protein-rich foliage of stylosanthes (Stylosanthes guianensis) or jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus).

23. Gastrointestinal parasites in pigs : prevalence, risk factors and control
Abstract : Gastrointestinal parasites are common in pigs worldwide, and in all production types. Clinical disease is rare and mainly associated with heavy nematode infections, or piglets infected with the coccidia Cystoisospora suis. Subclinical infections are more common and may result in reduced growth and poor feed utilisation. READ MORE

24. A transcriptomic tale of two worms : Evaluating Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for Parascaris univalens in drug resistance studies
Abstract : Parascaris univalens, an equine roundworm, poses a significant threat to foals, potentially causing lethal intestinal ruptures in high infestations. Infection control relies on a limited arsenal of anthelmintic drugs like ivermectin (IVM). READ MORE

25. Proteomics of the Drosophila hemolymph clot and the function of transglutaminase
Abstract : Insects rely on a fast and effective coagulation and wound response to avoid loss of body fluids and immobilize pathogens. Arthropod coagulation is in some respect equivalent to vertebrate coagulation but most factors and the regulation of coagulation systems seem not to be phylogenetically conserved. READ MORE
