COMPARISON OF THE MODIFIED AGGLUTINATION TEST AND REAL-TIME PCR FOR DETECTION OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII EXPOSURE IN FERAL CATS FROM PHILLIP ISLAND, AUSTRALIA, AND RISK FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INFECTION

Comparison of the modified agglutination test and real-time PCR for detection of Toxoplasma gondii exposure in feral cats from Phillip Island, Australia, and risk factors associated with infection

Toxoplasma gondii is considered a disease risk for many native Australian species.Feral cats are the key definitive host of T.gondii in Australia and therefore, investigating the epidemiology of T.gondii in cat populations is essential to understanding the risk posed to wildlife.Test sensitivity and specificity are poorly defined for diagnostic tes

Investigation on the interfacial properties of CNTs sized carbon fibres in epoxy resin using push-out method via nano-indentation technique

In this work, the carbon fibres (CFs) surfaces were modified via sizing and coated with a very thin layer of a complex formulation including carbon nanotubes (CNTs).A push-out method was developed based on nanoindentation to assess Towels the interfacial shear strength of the fibre/matrix.The mechanical properties such as indentation hardness, redu
