New insights into the fate of antiparasitics in manure and manured soils

12-04-2007 · EurekAlert!

The so far available data set on fate and behavior of veterinary medicinal products in manure and manured soils has now significantly been enhanced by a team of researchers around Robert Kreuzig, Braunschweig University of Technology, Institute of Ecological Chemistry and Waste Analysis, Germany. The scientists investigated the fate and behavior of benzimidazole antiparasitics in manure and manured soils under laboratory as well as under field conditions.

  2. New evidence of early horse domestication
    10-23-2006 · EurekAlert!
    Soil from a Copper Age site in northern Kazakhstan has yielded new evidence for domesticated horses up to 5,600 years ago. The discovery, consisting of phosphorus-enriched soils inside what appear to be the remains of horse corrals, matches what would be expected from Earth once enriched by horse manure. The Krasnyi Yar site was inhabited by people of the Botai culture of the Eurasian steppe, who relied heavily on horses for food, tools and transport.

  3. Zanzibar study paves way for mass co-delivery of three antiparasitic drugs
    01-22-2008 · EurekAlert!
    Findings from a new study in Zanzibar, published Jan. 23 in PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, pave the way for the World Health Organization to recommend the mass co-delivery of three antiparasitic drugs for the first time. The study shows the safety of delivering three drugs simultaneously -- ivermectin, albendazole and praziquantel -- in order to tackle three diseases, elephantiasis, soil-transmitted worms, and schistosomiasis.

  5. New insights into vaccination for HIV
    01-24-2008 · EurekAlert!
    A group of Australian researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and New South Wales have developed new tools and paradigms to understand immune evasion from HIV. The study, published Friday, Jan. 25 in PLoS Pathogens, shows that both prior vaccination and timing influence the rates of immune escape, providing further insight into the effectiveness of T cell immunity to HIV.

  6. Anthrax bacterium's deadly secrets probed
    08-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
    New insights into why the bug that causes anthrax behaves in the unusual way that it does have come to light thanks to a development under the UK e-Science Program. Researchers at the North East Regional e-Science Center have found that the proteins the anthrax bacterium secretes equip it to grow only in an animal host and not in the soil.

  7. Plants uptake antibiotics
    07-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
    It is estimated that between 9 and 13 million kilograms of antibiotics are used annually in the United States for raising livestock, with the majority being used for growth advancement and disease prevention purposes. Large amounts of antibiotics fed to livestock are excreted and end up in animal manure, which is commonly applied to agricultural land to provide crop nutrients. Therefore, food crops grown on manure-altered soils are exposed to antibiotics.

  8. Cluster – new insights into the electric circuits of polar lights
    02-09-2007 · European Space Agency (ESA)
    Giant electrical circuits power the magical open-air light show of the auroras, forming arcs in high-latitude regions like Scandinavia. New results obtained thanks to ESA's Cluster satellites provide a new insight into the source of the difference between the two types of electrical circuits currently known to be associated to the auroral arcs.
