Analysis of Eurasian Stone curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) microbial flora reveals the presence of multi-drug resistant pathogens in agro-pastoral areas of Sicily (Italy)

Spread of multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria in natural environments pose a risk to human and animal health.Wild birds are considered to be reservoirs of human pathogens and vectors of antimicrobial resistance distribution in the environment.The aim of this study is to assess the click here occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in isolates f

Thigmotactic responses in an open-field

The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of thigmotaxis (the tendency to remain close to vertical surfaces) in rat exploratory behavior in an open-field.Thigmotaxis was investigated in a parametric way, using 24 experimentally adult naive male Wistar rats (210-230 g).Exploratory behavior was studied in an open-field (N = 12) in 5-m
