3. PATHOGENICITY of Heterodera sacchari (LUC AND MERNY) AND ITS INTERACTION WITH Botryodiplodia theobromae (PAT) ON SOME NERICA RICE CULTIVARS
ABSTRACT
The Cyst Nematode (CN), Heterodera sacchari, is an important pest that causes yield losses of upland rice. NERICA Rice (NR) is a widely-grown upland rice cultivar. Botryodiplodia theobromae (a rot fungus) exists in many agricultural lands and causes yield losses on crops. Howev...
4. ISOLATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERISATION OF PANDEMIC A/H1N1 INFLUENZA VIRUS FROM PIGS IN AN INTENSIVE PIGGERY COMPLEX IN LAGOS, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Novel pandemic A/H1N1 influenza virus containing gene segments from pig, bird, and human influenza viruses was first detected in Mexico in 2009. Emergence of the virus further underscores the importance of animals in the epidemiology of influenza viruses. It is also known that...
