The goal of this research is to detect the existence and genotypes of T. gondii in beef and mutton, two of the most widely consumed red meats in Gaza, Palestine, using both ELISA and PCR techniques. For this purpose, 60 red meat samples were collected from butcheries in Gaza city, during the period from January to March 2021. These samples were divided evenly between beef and mutton. This study found that beef is devoid of T....

Analysis of the c-p data indicated that soil conditions approach stress levels when farms are cultivated under 10-15 years of monoculture. Soil food web analysis revealed disturbances in the soil ecosystem, particularly in banana monocropping farms used for 5-15 years. Continuous monocropping for 5-15 years could disrupt the s...
