Toxoplasma gondii virulence markers identified by random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction
Genomic DNAs from 35 Toxoplasma gondii strains were amplified by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using 18 arbitrary 10-mer primers. At least four primers were found to gen...

DNA Polymorphisms Associated with Murine Virulence of Toxoplasma gondii Identified by RAPD-PCR
There are large differences in virulence among the various strains and isolates of T. gondii, although only one species of the genus Toxoplasma has been observed to exist so far. This virulence diversity among is...

Aspects of the phylogeny of Platyhelminthes based on 18S ribosomal DNA and protonephridial ultrastructure
DNA studies of 23 taxa (20 platyhelminths, 1 nemertean, Homo and Artemia) and electron-microscopic studies of the protonephridia of many platyhelminths (supported by some additional ultrastructural data) have led...

Low threshold, room temperature pulsed and quasi-continuous lasing in optically pumped CdZnTe/ZnTe quantum wells
We report room temperature optically pumped lasing with a threshold of 6 kW/ cm2 in a CdZnTe/ZnTe multiple quantum well. Quasi-continuous optically pumped lasing at room temperature has also been achieved. We dis...

Use of Toxoplasma Gondii Recombinant Antigens for Diagnosis and Seroepidemiology
The production of antigens for serological tests used in the diagnosis of infections with T. gondii has been complicated by the fact that the T. gondii life cycle stages from which these antigens are derived are ...

Recognition of recombinantToxoplasma gondii antigens by human sera in an ELISA
We developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) that uses one of two recombinant polypeptides, termed H4/GST and H11/GST, as diagnostic antigens for the detection of antibodies toToxoplasma gondii in hu...

Pulse Compression in Single-Mode Fibers—Picoseconds to Femtoseconds
The compression of frequency swept (in time) or “chirped” optical pulses was independently proposed by Gires and Tournois (1964) and Giordmaine et al. (1968). Optical pulse compression is the optical analog of...
