Role of Hippoboscidae flies as potential vectors of Bartonella spp. infecting wild and domestic ruminants.
Article Abstract:
Studies done on the putative role of biting flies in Bartonella transmission among ruminants are reported. The results of the study indicate that Hippoboscidae play a role in the transmission of Bartonella among ruminants and the vertical transmission of Bartonella in M. ovinus and the presence of Bartonella DNA in all samples indicate a symbiotic association between Bartonella and M. ovinus.

Relating cell killing to inactivation of critical components
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the loss of CFU following a life-threatening treatment which is related to the inactivation of critical components. It was observed that the loss of CFU following heating may precede, lag behind, or coincide with the loss of the active critical component, depending on the form of the function and the number of copies of the critical component in each cell.
