Another fact shows that clove flower oil has anthelmintic activity.

The presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and histamine in foodstuffs indicate the level of deterioration in the quality of food and cause poisoning.Sie Baluis the Acehnese dried meat preserved by the addition of salt, acid and dried, but the long processing and drying it under the sun can cause microbial contamination in meat products. Irradiation can eliminate bacteria in foodstuffs. This study aimed to determine the amount of LAB and histamine levels ofSie Baluafter irradiation doses of 5, 7 and 9 kGy and stored 2 to 4 months.Sie Baluwas made of fresh beef 5 kg, dried in the sun to dry, vacuumed and irradiated with gamma rays. The samples for LAB determination cultured in MRS agar and incubated at 37C for 24 hours. The number of colonies was counted using Total Plate Count. The histamine level ofSie Baluconducted by ELISA. Irradiation did not significantly (P0.05) affect the amount of LAB, but the shelf life significantly (P0.05) affected the amount of LAB inSie Balu. Extending the shelf life up to 4 months can increase the amount of LAB. Irradiation dose and shelf life had no effect on histamine levels ofSie Balu(P0.05). This study concluded that irradiatedSie Balucannot be stored for more than two months.

Mycobacterium bovis is the main cause of tuberculosis in wildlife. In South Africa, African buffaloes (Syncerus caffer) are a wildlife maintenance host while a number of other species are considered spillover hosts. Nyala (Tragelaphus angasii), a large antelope species from Southern Africa, is frequently traded and can be infected with M. bovis. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) release assays that detect cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses to M. bovis infection have shown promise in elephants, rhinoceroses and buffaloes. The BOVIGAM® assay is a commercial IFN-γ release assay designed to detect tuberculosis in cattle and has been validated in buffaloes. We tested the suitability of the BOVIGAM® assay to detect native IFN-γ release in nyala. Blood samples collected from 17 nyalas were stimulated with different mitogens and IFN-γ release measured. We found that incubating whole blood with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and calcium ionophore (PMA/CaI) resulted in the highest levels of IFN-y release. Samples stimulated with tuberculin purified protein derivatives of M. bovis (PPDb) and M. avium (PPDa) did not show significant IFN-γ production. An intradermal tuberculin test (IDT) and culture of tissues from 15 of the 17 culled nyala were also performed, which supported the findings of the BOVIGAM® assay, suggesting the potential value of this assay for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in nyala.

In this study, microbiological quality of tantuni that have been consumed in the province of Van was examined. Materials and Methods: For this purpose; 100 tantuni samples, whose 79 of them were red meat tantuni (raw and cooked) and 21 of them chicken tantuni (raw and cooked) were used as material.According to analysis findings with regard to aerobic mesophilic organisms, coliform group microorganisms, E. coli, micrococcus/staphylococcus, S. aureus, C. perfringens and yeast-mould at the samples of raw and cooked red meat tantuni were found to be 5.67 and 3.98, 2.88 and 0.21, 0.87 and 2.00, 2.99 and 2.27, 1.33 and 0.25, 0.05 and 1.00, 4.43 and 0.63 log cfu/g respectively. In the same order, at the samples of raw and cooked chicken tantuni were found to be; 4.35 and 3.77, 2.84 and 1.00, 1.15 and 2.00, 0.95 and 1.22, 2.00 and 2.00, 1.00 and 1.00, 4.05 and 0.11 log cfu/g respectively. Salmonella spp. could not be isolated in the tantuni samples that had been investigated. In the raw red meat tantuni samples 5.26% (1/19) had S. aureus, in the cooked red meat tantuni samples 1.66% (1/60) had S. aureus, and 3.33% (2/60) yeast-mould which were not compatible with the limit values that were stated at the Turkish Food Codex were found. However, values obtained from this study show that during preparation and production of the goods and in the other stages; hygienic rules have not been carried out.In conclusion to secure the product safety, it is essential to be cautious for the temperature and time during preparation, reservation temperature and GMP/GHP based applications in the preparation of tantuni.

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a sandwich ELISA for the measurement of α1-proteinase inhibitor (α1-PI) concentrations in serum and fecal samples obtained from common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus). SAMPLE Leftover serum (n = 42) and fecal (23) samples submitted for diagnostic testing; paired serum and fecal samples obtained from 30 common marmosets at 2 research colonies. PROCEDURES A sandwich ELISA was developed and analytically validated by determining the lower limit of detection, linearity, accuracy, precision, and reproducibility. Reference intervals for α1-PI concentrations in serum and feces of common marmosets were calculated. RESULTS The standard curve was generated for concentrations between 1 and 100 ng/mL. Mean ± SD observed-to-expected ratio for serial dilutions of serum and fecal samples was 117.1 ± 5.6% (range, 112.2% to 123.0%) and 106.1 ± 19.7% (range, 82.6% to 130.2%), respectively. Mean observed-to-expected ratio for spiking recovery of serum and fecal samples was 102.9 ± 12.1% (range, 86.8% to 115.8%) and 97.9 ± 19.0% (range, 83.0% to 125.1%), respectively. Reference interval for serum concentrations of α1-PI was 1,254 to 1,813 μg/mL, for 3-day mean fecal concentrations was 11.5 to 42.2 μg/g of feces, and for 3-day maximum fecal concentrations was 13.2 to 51.2 μg/g of feces. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The ELISA was linear, accurate, precise, and reproducible for quantification of α1-PI concentrations in serum and feces of common marmosets. However, the ELISA had limited linearity and accuracy for spiking recovery of fecal samples.
