Wagner, Ankia Marleen; Cloete, T.E. (Thomas Eugene), 1958-
(Elsevier, 2002)
The formation of a stable viscous foam on activated sludge aeration basin surfaces is a world wide problem. Foam is usually comprised of filamentous bacteria occurring predominantly in the mixed liquor. The lack of ...

Vermaak, Elaine; Conradie, Andele M.; Maree, Francois Frederick; Theron, Jacques
(Elsevier, 2016-10)
Cellular pathways involved in cell entry by African horse sickness virus (AHSV), a member
of the Orbivirus genus within the Reoviridae family, have not yet been determined. Here, we
show that acidic pH is required for ...

Paap, Trudy; Burgess, Treena I.; Rolo, Victor; Steel, Emma; Hardy, Giles E. St. J.
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
Forest ecosystems characterised by higher tree species diversity have been linked to a reduced susceptibility to pathogens. Conversely, endemic pathogens contribute to forest ecosystem dynamics and process. In the face of ...

The objective of this study was to investigate
the risks associated with the use of roof-harvested rainwater
(RHRW) and the implication of pigeons as the
most likely source of contamination by testing for antibiotic
resistance ...
