| genotoxic evaluation of an industrial effluent from an oil refinery using plant and animal bioassays. | polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are genotoxic chemicals commonly found in effluents from oil refineries. bioassays using plants and cells cultures can be employed for assessing environmental safety and potential genotoxicity. in this study, the genotoxic potential of an oil refinery effluent was analyzed by means of micronucleus (mn) testing of alium cepa, which revealed no effect after 24 h of treatment. on the other hand, primary lesions in the dna of rat (rattus norvegicus) hepatoma c ... | 2010 | 21637622 |
| discovery of two highly divergent negative-sense rna viruses associated with the parasitic nematode, capillaria hepatica, in wild mus musculus from new york city. | recent advances in high-throughput sequencing technology have led to a rapid expansion in the number of viral sequences associated with samples from vertebrates, invertebrates and environmental samples. accurate host identification can be difficult in assays of complex samples that contain more than one potential host. using unbiased metagenomic sequencing, we investigated wild house mice (mus musculus) and brown rats (rattus norvegicus) from new york city to determine the aetiology of liver dis ... | 2019 | 31513008 |
