RHOPTRY PROTEINS ROP5 AND ROP18 ARE MAJOR MURINE VIRULENCE FACTORS IN GENETICALLY DIVERGENT SOUTH AMERICAN STRAINS OF TOXOPLASMA GONDII.

Rhoptry Proteins ROP5 and ROP18 Are Major Murine Virulence Factors in Genetically Divergent South American Strains of Toxoplasma gondii.

Toxoplasma gondii has evolved a number of strategies to evade immune responses in its many hosts.Previous genetic mapping of crosses between clonal type 1, 2, and 3 strains of T.gondii, which are prevalent in Europe and North America, identified two rhoptry proteins, ROP5 and ROP18, that function together to block innate immune mechanisms activated

Extraction of dietary fiber and encapsulated phytochemical enriched functional pasta from Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) peel waste

Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) peels are treated as an agro-waste material and are generally discarded.Dietary fiber and phytochemicals from this agro-waste material can serve as important functional ingredients.The aim of this study was to utilize bottle gourd peels for extraction of dietary fiber and phytochemicals and use them as functional
