A PRELIMINARY RESULTS ON THE CONTROL OF CERCOSPORA LEAF SPOT ATTACK IN SOME SUGAR BEET HYBRIDS WITH DIFFERENT DOSES OF FUNGICIDES by Manuela Hermeziu, Lorena Adam, Diana Petre, Carmen Chelmea

“…To the National Institute of Research and Development for Potato and Sugar Beet Brasov, in 2023, two polyfactorial experiments were carried out on the sugar beet crop which aimed to determine the effect of fungicides, full dose, respectively half dose, on beet plants affected by the pathogen Cercospora beticola. The experiments included five variants each, an untreated (control) variant, two variants with the recommended dose of fungicide (250 g/l difenoconazole active substance, respectively 14.1 g/l Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713) and two variants with 50% of the recommended fungicides dose. …”

Network Analysis of MERS Coronavirus within Households, Communities, and Hospitals to Identify Most Centralized and Super-Spreading in the Arabian Peninsula, 2012 to 2016 by Oyelola A. Adegboye, Faiz Elfaki

“…Results suggested that being a healthcare worker has a higher eigenvector centrality score on average than being nonhealthcare workers. Pathogenic droplets are easily transmitted within a confined area of hospitals; therefore, control measures should be put in place to curtail the number of hospital visitors and movements of nonessential staff within the healthcare facility with MERS cases.…”

PhoU homologs from Staphylococcus aureus dimerization and protein interactions by Clayton T. Matthews, Sakib Mahmud, Stewart G. Gardner

“…This protein is essential for signaling environmental phosphate levels in Escherichia coli but is still not well characterized in many other pathogenic bacterial strains. This work identifies some similarities and key differences in Staphylococcus aureus PhoU homologs compared to E. coli PhoU, specifically, PhoU and PitR from S. aureus form homodimers but do not appear to interact with PhoR or phosphate transporter proteins.…”
