Full textAbstract:
Five winter wheat cultivars created in Small Grains Research Centre of Kragujevac (Ana Morava, Toplica, Vizija, Takovcanka and Lazarica) were grown at the macro field trial in three locations (Kragujevac, Sombor and Backa Topola) during three years (2004-2006). Influence of genetic and agro-ecological conditions of locations on wheat quality components (sedimentation value and wet gluten content) was investigated. The analysis of variance suggested there were highly significant differences among genotypes (G), investigated years (Y) and locations (L) for sedimentation value and wet gluten content. Apart from individual influence of the factors, their interactions (G x Y, G x L, Y x L, G x Y x L) were also high significant for both investigated traits. In average the highest sedimentation value (40.6 ml) and wet gluten content (31.85 %) established at Backa Topola locality. The highest value of all investigated cultivars and localities established at cultivar Vizija (45.3 ml) in Backa Topola, while the lowest at Lazarica (31.7 ml) in Sombor. The highest wet gluten content was measured at Backa Topola locality by cultivar Toplica (38.53 %). In this investigation Backa Topola locality was favourable for both investigated quality traits.

Full textAbstract:
Lyme disease is the most common vector borne disease in regions with moderate climate. The cause of the disease is Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (B. burgdorferi s.l.), whereas infection is spread via bite from a tick carrying the causative agent. The objective of this work is the examination of descriptive-epidemiological characteristics of Lyme disease in North Backa region in the period from 2012 to 2016. In terms of classifi cation, Lyme dis-ease does not fall into the category of diseases that must be reported when infection occurs among animals. The average rate of incidence in humans during the observed five-year period is 7/100.000. Th e highest incidence of this disease among humans was observed in 2013 (In 12.2/100,000) with 22 reported cases, whereas the lowest incidence was in 2015 (In 5.0/100,000) with 9 reported cases. The highest rate of incidence was recorded in Bačka Topola municipality – 15.9/100.000; followed by Mali Iđoš with 7.2/100.000; while the lowest rate was recorded in Subotica being 5.0 cases per 100,000 residents. Th e presence of the disease was confi rmed in all patients via labo-ratory (serological) tests. Women were more likely to become infected, with the male-female patient ratio being 41%-59%. The disease was documented predominantly among people aged 50-69. The majority of cases were re-corded during spring and summer, in the period from May to June (71%). Among animals, the disease was documented in Subotica and Mali Iđoš municipality, with average prevalence rates among dogs and horses being 0.07%; and 1.52% respectively. Subotica municipality has the most accurate records of cases and a prevalence of 0.06% among dogs, and 1.43% among horses, while Mali Iđoš municipality has higher prevalence, being 2.99% among horses and 0.14% among dogs. The highest occurrence of Lyme disease among animals was documented in 2015, with a prevalence of 2.85% among horses. The presence of causative agents among examined ticks in Mali Iđoš municipality was 16.28% on average, predominantly in 2015 (in 21.21% of examined ticks).

Full textAbstract:
Because of indirect and direct damages, parasitic infections of cattle pose a threat to animals, so it is necessary to suppress them continuously. In order to carry out the action successfully, it is of crucial importance to deal with current data on their presence. The investigation was carried out in the region of North Backa District during 2009. and 2010., in 224 heads of cattle grown at farms of various hygienic status and housing conditions. In this study, there are presented the results relating to helminthosis and mange prevalence in different age categories of cattle. Positive parasitological findings were determined in 43.30% of tested animals. There were diagnosed cestodes of Moniezia and Dicrocoelium dendriticum strain, gastro intestinal strongilides as well as mites of Psoroptes strain. During two years? investigation, there was found out the greatest prevalence of infections caused by gastro intestinal strongilides (19.78% and 29.32%). On the basis of the obtained results, it will be possible to use modern antihelmintics more effectively, as well as to implement measures in order to prevent both growth and survival of preparasitic stadiums in the environment and animal infection. The ultimate goal is to help providing more economical cattle production in the investigated region.

Full textAbstract:
Body height and weight are influenced by interaction of genetic and environmental factors but also depend upon the ethnic and socio-cultural characteristics of populations. The aim of the study is to determine the height, weight and nutritional status of adult population of Vojvodina, as well as to establish similarities and differences among various ethnic groups, i.e. the natives of Vojvodina and newcomers from different parts of former Yugoslavia. The investigation was conducted in 10 rural settlements of northwest Backa and central Banat. The investigation included 608 males (mean age 41.34 11.49) and 768 females (mean age 41.85 10.64). Data processing included standard statistical methods, while t-test was employed for testing differences among groups. In relation to ethnic group belonging, the analysis included Serbs, Hungarians and Montenegrins, while natives and newcomers from Bosnia and Herzegovina were analyzed in relation to the native land origin. The subjects of both sexes from central Banat have greater height than the subjects from northwest Backa. Hungarians of both sexes exhibit lower body height in comparison with all other groups, while Herzegovina newcomers have the greatest height values. For body weight, similar values are obtained in both of the areas. The average BMI in males equals 27.23 kg/m2 in Backa and 26.59 kg/m2 in Banat. In females, the values are lower and equal 26.12 kg/m2 in Backa and 25.29 kg/m2 in Banat. The population of this region is characterized by great height. Natives of both sexes show markedly lower height and weight values in relation to all three newcomers groups. The greatest number of male population falls in the category of overweight (46%). Females are mostly of normal weight (47.81%), while the number of overweight and obese females equals 34.67% and 14.42%, respectively.

A survey of ware potatoes (a total of 1127 samples) from localities in Serbia during two consecutive years resulted in detection and identification of R. solanacearum in 17 tuber samples. The monitoring detected the causal agent of bacterial wilt and brown rot of potato in three districts of Vojvodina province. In 2011, the infection by R. solanacearum was confirmed in 7 samples of ware potato tubers (varieties - Saturna, Pirol, Hermes, Panda) in West Backa and South Backa Districts. In 2012, the infection by R. solanacearum was confirmed in 10 potato tuber samples (Lady Claire, Desiree, Panda, Red Fantasy and Vineta varieties) from two districts: South Backa and Central Banat. Bacterial strains obtained from positive samples were identified as R. solanacearum biovar 2 using PCR/RFLP analysis, pathogenicity test on tomato transplants, and nutritional, enzymatic and biovar determination tests. To our best knowledge, these are the only findings of R. solanacearum infection in ware potatoes in Serbia. R. solanacearum was not detected in tomato or any other host plant tested in this study. Furthermore, the bacterium was not found in any of the water samples tested, including those originating from areas in which the bacterium was found in ware potato samples.

Introduction. Collecting data about the structure and function of private health care sector in Serbia and its inclusion in joint health care system is one of the most important issues for making decisions in health care and getting more accurate picture about the possibilities of health care system in Serbia. The aim of this analysis was to compare health institutions, personnel, visits, number of hospital days and morbidity by ICD-10 classification of diseases in public and private health sector in South Backa, Nisava, Toplica and Belgrade district in 2009. Material and Methods. A retrospective comparative analysis was performed using data about private providers of health services obtained from the Institute of Public Health Novi Sad, the Institute of Public Health Nis and the City Institute of Public Health Belgrade. Data about personnel and morbidity in public health sector in Serbia for 2009 was obtained from the Center for Information Technology of the Institute for Public Health of Serbia. Data about public health facilities in South Backa, Nisava, Toplica and Belgrade district in 2009 was obtained from Serbian Chamber of medical institutions. Results. The results showed that health care was provided in Belgrade district in 2009 by total of 1,051 employees in private sector and 31,404 in public sector. We found that public sector had a far wider range of health facilities than private sector, which was mainly due to the number of clinics. In South Backa district private sector had 323 practices, the district of Belgrade 655 and Nisava and Toplica district 173. Seventeen times more visits to households (4,650,423 vs. 267,356) and 111 times greater number of hospital days was provided in public health sector as compared to private health sector (781,083 vs. 7,023) in South Backa district. Conclusion. The conclusion of this analysis was that public health sector has remained the foundation of health care system in Serbia. Private health sector is expanding, but its structure and scope of services is still undervalued as compared to public sector.

Full textAbstract:
Due to difficult economic and religious circumstances in 17th century numerous serf families from Slovakia abandoned their homes and moved to southern parts of the former Hungarian empire. A larger portion of the migration flow arrived to the south-eastern Pannonic plain and to Vojvodina. The largest colonies of the Slovaks were settled in Banat, smaller ones in Backa, while the Slovak colonies in Srem were the result of internal migrations from Backa. By the 1960s, there was an increase in the Slovak population, then followed by the decrease, the most intensive in the last decade of the 20th century. The fluctuation in population number had repercussions in basic features of nuptiality in settlements where the Slovaks were majority, resulting in decrease in the number of nuptials and nuptiality rate.

Full textAbstract:
Antler growth in male roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L) was studied on the representative sample consisting of 546 trophies (227 from Backa and 319 from Banat) hunted in the period 19982005. No significant differences in antler characters and trophy values were noted between Backa and Banat (except weight of antlers for 5 year old males), and the data for both regions were pooled. Antler growth is a curvilinear function of age. Mean values of length, weight and volume of antlers, and total trophy score varied significantly between the males in different age groups. The study results prove that in Vojvodina field hunting grounds, healthy males attain the culmination in antler growth and trophy value at the age of six years but already after the age of seven years, they show the first sign of old age and decline.

Full textAbstract:
In a 5 year period 48748 swine blood samples were examined, or 24.52% of the breeding stock. The samples were examined by the method of microscope agglutination, with "live" antigen of 8 leptospira serotypes: L. pomona, L. icterohaemorrhragiae, L. grippotyphosa, L. sejroe, L. tarassovi, L. australis, L. bataviae and L. canicola. During the investigation specific antibodies for leptospira were diagnosed in 280 (0.57%) samples of swine sera. The highest level of seroprevalence for leptospirosis in swine was in the year 1998 with 130 (1.27%) seropositive swines. The lowest seroprevalence level was detected in the years 1999 and 2000 with only 13 seropositive animals (0.13-0.14%). During this period the highest number of seropositive swines was found in the Becej area, 241 (0.92%). In this period 3 serotypes of leptospira were present: L. pomona, L. icterohaemorrhagiae and L. grippotyphosa. Serotype L. icterohaemorrhagiae was most present on the investigated area (in 94.32% cases), followed by L. pomona (5.31%) while serotype L. grippotyphosa appeared only sporadically in only 0.35% cases. In this period a trend of slight decrease was noticed in swine prevalence for leptospirosis amounting to 0.048% annually. Based on these analyses, it may be expected with 95% certainty that the level of prevalence for leptospirosis in the coming period in this epizootiological area will range from 0.00% to 0.82% of the infected animals.

Introduction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used in the treatment of musculoskeletal system diseases (MSD) and are associated with numerous adverse effects. Objective. To determine the amount and structure of outpatient consumption of NSAIDs and its correlation with musculoskeletal system diseases in three municipalities in South Backa district with different levels of health care. To examine whether the cost of drugs and the level of health care influence the choice of drugs. Methods. Data on the quarterly consumption of NSAIDs have been collected from all pharmacies in Novi Sad, Vrbas and Backa Palanka. Data are presented by the number of defined daily dosage (DDD) per1000 inhabitants. Cost (in RSD)/DDD was also calculated. The drug utilization 90% (DU90%) methodology was used. Data on the incidence of MSD from the three municipalities were obtained from the Institute of Public Health of Vojvodina and were presented as the number of patients/1000 inhabitants. Results. The highest total outpatient consumption of NSAIDs was recorded in Backa Palanka, a municipality with the highest prevalence of MSD. The lowest NSAIDs consumption and the lowest number of patients were observed in Vrbas. Diclofenac was NSAID with the highest consummation in all three municipalities, while ibuprofen, meloxicam and nimesulide were dispensed in much smaller amounts. The cheapest NSAIDs were found to be piroxicam and naproxen, diclofenac was the third in terms of price/DDD, while ibuprofen was the sixth. Conclusion. In order to improve prescription practice and the profile of drug usage in the population, it is important to educate health care professionals, and to inform general population about the risks of inappropriate drug use.

Background/Aim. Early childhood caries (ECC) is a special form of caries in primary dentition that affect teeth after eruption, with rapid progression, later symptomatology and numerous complications. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of ECC among different ethnic groups of preschool children in the South Backa District. Methods. The survey was performed as a crosssectional analytical study on the sample of preschool children of both sexes and different ethnic groups in the South Backa District. The diagnosis and the clinical form of ECC was defined by dental check-ups according to the modified Wyne's criteria: the initial form (type 1) shows carious lesions without disturbing the surface structure of the tooth enamel, the moderate form (type 2) shows carious lesions affecting one or two teeth or their surfaces, the middle form (type 3) shows carious lesions affecting more than two teeth or their surfaces, the severe form (type 4) shows the presence of two and more gangrenous roots in the maxilla intercanini sector, and the severe form with complications (type 5) shows the presence of two and more gangrenous roots in the maxilla intercanini sector with the presence of fistula and/or abscess of tooth root apex. Epidemiological data on the different ethnic groups were obtained by interviewing the parents of the examined children. The tests on significant statistical differences was performed by the variance analysis and ?2 test. Results. The prevalence of ECC in children oped 41.32 ? 8.57 months, of the South Backa District was 30.5%. The highest disease frequency was found in Roma children (50.0%) as well as in children of Ruthenian nationality (43.8%), than in children of Slovakia nationality (37.8%), Serbian (26.1%), Hungerian (25.4%) and other nationalities (27.4%). The frequency of types 1, 3, 4, and 5 ECC was twice as high as in children who do not speak Serbian language. Conclusion. The frequency of ECC occurrence is different among ethnic groups. The highest frequency of ECC is present among the members of ethnic groups whose native language is not Serbian.

Introduction. Syphilis is one of infectious diseases that can be transmitted by blood transfusion. Determining the frequency of syphilis among blood donors and the relevant risk factors is an important aspect of safe blood transfusion. Objective. To determine the frequency and the trend of syphilis infection among blood donors in South Backa Region, to classify the confirmed infection and to describe demographic characteristics of seropositive blood donors and their risk factors. Methods. This retrospective study analyzed results of routine EIA syphilis screening and blood donor data from South Backa Region between 2004 and 2008. Results. Thirteen out of 153,431 tested blood units were confirmed as syphilis-infected. The study found that the overall frequency of infection was 8.47 per 100,000 blood donations, with a trend increase of 2.4%; there was a statistically significant (p<0.001) higher frequency among first-time blood donors (51.93/100,000) than regular ones (2.84/100 000). The highest prevalence was noted in donors aged over 45 years. All cases were classified as past syphilis infections. Post-donation interviews revealed exposure risk in 69.23% of the donors. Conclusion. A higher frequency of past infections detected in older donors is probably due to a higher prevalence and incidence of syphilis in the past. Further continual epidemiologic follow-up of syphilis in blood donors is crucial in obtaining safe blood.

Full textAbstract:
Bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) is a worldwide viral cattle disease. Percentage of seropositive animals, especially in the countries with intensive cattle breeding ranges from 60-90%. This infection on our epizootiology area, as well as on area in our surrounding, was for the first time described by OEuriåkoviñ et al. (1966) based on clinical pictures and pathomorphological findings. This was proved by antibody detection by Cvetnić et al. (1968). In the last few years a large number of serology examination was done on the presence of BVDV infection in our area. In 2004 an examination on virus neutralisation antibodies in sera of breeding dairy cattle older than 6 months was carried for the purpose of determining the prevalence of BVDV infection in large and small herds in Southern Bačka and Srem districts. There were 7577 sera samples from small herds, out of which 3457 were from Southern Bačka (26.31% out of total population in all 9 municipalities), and there were 4120 samples from Srem district (25.17% out of total population in all 8 municipalities). The examination included the animals from all settlements (156). From large cattle herds there were 3019 sera samples, out of which 2721 were from 18 large farms in Southern Baåka (38.65% out of total population), and 298 from 4 large farms in Srem district (29.22% out of total population). This examination encompassed animals from 22 large farms on this area. Virus neutralisation test (VN) was carried out according to the standard procedure described in ’’Manual of Diagnostic Tests and Vaccines for Terrestrial Animals’’ Office International des Epizooties (2004) with slight modifications. For test NADL strain of BVD virus and MDBK cell culture were used. The sera were examined in double dilution from 1:2 to 1:512. Virus neutralisation antibodies for NADL strain BVDV were detected in 1833 (24.19%) in the samples from small herds. Out of this number there were 1082 (31.30%) seropositive animals from Southern Baåka and 751 (18.53%) from Srem district. The largest number of seropositive animals in Southern Baåka district were detected in Titel municipality (68.07%) and the lowest in Bački Petrovac municipality (6.63%). In Srem district the largest number of seropositive animals was in Beoåin municipality (34.16%) and the lowest in Irig municipality (7.62%). When comparing all the settlements, the percentage of BVDV seropositive animals ranged from 0% (i.e. settlements with no seropositive animals) up to 86.67% (Krnjeãevci). Virus neutralisation antibodies for BVDV NADL strain were detected in 1667 (55.22%) samples from large cattle herds. Out of this number there were 1500 (55.13%) seropositive animals from Southern Bačka, and 167 (56.04%) seropositive animals from Srem district. The prevalence of seropositive animals in large herds from Southern Baåka district ranged from0%(5 large herds) up to 96.61%. High prevalence (70%) was detected in 7 out of 18 examined herds. The prevalence of seropositive animals originating from large herds in Srem district ranged from 0% (1 large herd) to 96.96%. High prevalence (70%) was detected in 2 out of 4 examined herds. Detected variation in the percentage of seropositive animals in some areas and herds most probably is the result of animal origin and management on the farms, i.e. movement of animals with introduction of new animals into a herd, what also means that the virus enters into a herd and outbreaks of BVDV infection occur. The titre ofVNantibodies in a certain number of animals, especially on certain areas and in some herds ranged up to 1:512 and even more, what was a clear indication of current or recent presence of persistently infected animals in these herds. High percentage of seropositive animals (70%) in 9 large herds most probably is the result of uncontrolled animal movement, entering of BVD virus and frequent outbreaks of BVDV infections in these herds, but this also indicates probable presence of persistently infected animals in the herds. The obtained results point on high prevalence of BVD infection in the examined area. This prevalence is not equal, what point on existence of areas where the infection is not present, or is present only sporadically.

Introduction Age at menarche is genetically determined, but it is also influenced by body mass index, growth speed, physical activity, social status and other factors. The aim of this study was to identify the average age at menarche, to study acceleration phenomena and correlation of age at menarche of mothers and their daughters in Backa Palanka. Material and methods The survey involved 105 elementary school students (having menstrual cycles, specifically menarche) and 536 women, their mothers. Results and discussion The average age at menarche in girls was 12,17 and in their mothers at 13.08. SD was 0.95 in daughters, and 1.32 in mothers. In 33% of girls the age at menarche was the same as in their mothers, in 46% it was one year earlier or later, in 15% there was a two year difference and in the rest there was a three year difference. Our survey results clearly show that there is an acceleration phenomena involved. Conclusion Genetic factor has the greatest influence on the age at menarche. However, there is also an acceleration phenomena. It is necessary to broaden the survey regarding the effects of physical activity and body mass index on age at menarche. .

Introduction. Anthropometric measurements are widely used in the assessment of growth, nutritional status and body composition in children. The objective of the study was to describe growth and body composition of children using simple anthropometric measures. Material and Methods. The investigation was performed in 13 primary schools in the territory of North Backa during 2017 and at the beginning of 2018. A total of 593 schoolchildren aged 6.50 - 10.49 years (in decimals) were included in the study. The following parameters were measured: height, weight, upper arm circumference and triceps skinfold thickness. These measurements were used to calculate the body mass index, total upper arm area, upper-arm muscle area, upper-arm fat area, and the arm fat mass percentage for each individual. Results. The study results show that children?s growth is almost linear over the first decade of life and the lean body mass increases at similar rates in boys and girls. However, girls show higher percentage of body fat and higher triceps skinfold thickness, while the body mass index is not significantly different. The secular trends in height are slowing down or have already ceased, but the weight generally continues increasing. Conclusion. Although sexual differences in anthropological measures are insignificant, the differences in body composition are evident before puberty.

In the vegetation of meadows and pastures, due to climate changes and an inadequate and intensive use of hydromeliorative measures, invasive species play a significant role in the degradation of biodiversity. Secondary development of ass. Trifolio-Agrostietum stoloniferae Markovic 1973 stands was observed in Backa, in periodically flooded pastures. Floristic composition of these stands consists of 117 plant species, of which 94 grow in the Danube riverbank region and 97 around the Tisa river. According to the floristic analysis, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Bellis perennis, Carduus nutans, Cirsium arvense, Eupatorium cannabinum, Linaria vulgaris, Lotus corniculatus, Lythrum salicaria, Rumex crispus, and Trifolium repens are characterized as invasive plants of the European region. Moreover, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Eleusine indica and Xanthium spinosum, included in the List of invasive species in AP Vojvodina, are also present. Lythrum salicaria is regarded as one of the 100 most dangerous invasive alien species in the world.

In 1893. Jovan Zivanovic notes that based on the color of the abdomen of bees, two varieties of bees are present in Vojvodina, one dark and the other with two yellow rings on abdomen. Up to the present time there are mixed opinions about the presence of one or more populations of bees in Vojvodina, especially about the presence of the yellow variety in Banat. The aim of this paper is to establish the existence of one or more populations of bees, using genetic analysis of bees. Evaluation of genetic connections, diversity within the population and structure of the bee population in Vojvodina, were calculated on the basis of allele variation of 25 microsatellite loci. A genetic typification of the following microsatellites was performed: A8, A14, A24, A29, A43, A79, A88, A113, Ac11, Ac88, Ac139, Ac306, Ap15, Ap68, Ap85, Ap90, Ap223, Ap224, Ap226, Ap249, Ap273, Ap274, Ap288, At168, At188. 92% or 23 loci proved to be polymorphic in samples of bees from Srem and Backa, and 88% or 22 loci proved to be polymorphic in samples of bees from Banat. Heterozygosity calculated for the whole population is not significantly different from the expected heterozygosity. It was found that the obtained genetic differences between bees of Srem and Backa, and Banat region are not sufficient for these two populations to be considered separate.

Full textAbstract:
Bioenergy production based on short rotation coppice willow plantations (SRC) is an effective direction both for economic and environment profit. The yield of willow wood can amount to 10-15 tons per hectare of dry biomass per year and the cost of thus obtained energy is lower in comparison with other energy crops. In order to achieve high yield and profitability, the use of special willow clones is necessary. Species most often used in selection for biomass production are shrub type willows: Salix viminalis, Salix dasyclados and Salix schwerini, while the clones tested in this paper were also of tree species Salix alba. The productivity and some physiology characteristics of Serbian selection clones of Salix alba (Backa, Volmianka and Drina) and Swedish selection clone Jorr (Salix viminalis) were investigated in greenhouses and in field conditions. As the result of testing three clones of Salix alba - Backa, Volmianka and Drina, having special preferences and adaptability to different environmental conditions, these were included in State register of Republic of Belarus in 2013. In our experiment it was also satisfactory that specific properties of willows (intensity of transpiration and photosynthesis, water use efficiency and others), were conserved both in greenhouses and in field conditions. This factor gives opportunity to select prospective clones of willows at an early stage of ontogenesis for further testing.

Serological investigations were performed on 24,208 samples of cattle blood serum, representing 31.18% of the reproductive cattle fund in the territory of nine municipalities in the Southern Backa region over a period of five years. The samples were examined using the method of microscopic agglutination, with live antigens of nine Leptospira serotypes: L. pomona, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. grippotyphosa, L. sejroe, L. tarassovi, L. australis, L. bataviae, L. canicola, and L. hardjo. Specific antibodies against leptospira were established in 286 or 1.18% samples of cattle serum. The level of seroprevalence of leptospira infection at an annual level ranged from 2.56% to 0.05%. The biggest number of seropositive cattle were registered in the municipality of Novi Sad-151 cattle, or 3.54%. In the course of the observation period, the presence of four serotypes of ieptospira were diagnozed in catlt: L. pomona, L. icterohaemorrhagiae, L. grippotyphosa, L. hardjo. The most represented serotype was L. hardjo, 41.02%, while the serotypes L. grippotyphosa (34.61%), L. icterohaemorrhagiae (14.74%) and L. pomona (9.61%) were diagnosed in smaller percentages. An increasing tendency was observed in the number of cattle infected with leptospira at an annual level of 0.195%. On the basis of the presented analysis, it can be predicted with a probability of 95%, that leptospirosis in cattle will appear within the range of 0.09% to 3.50% in the epizootiological region of Southern Backa in the coming period.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, lipophilic tomato waste extracts (obtained from the Knjaz, Backa, Saint Pierre, Rutgers and Novosadski niski genotypes) were analyzed to determine their lycopene and ?-carotene content, as well as their kinetics of antiradical activity. The kinetic behaviour of lipophilic tomato waste extracts and standard antioxidant compound (BHA) were investigated using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical test. In addition, correlations between the contents of lycopene and ?-carotene content and antiradical activity of lipophilic tomato waste extracts were also sought. The content of lycopene in tomato waste extracts ranged from 4.29 ? 0.14 mg/g for Rutgers waste exract to 22.64 ? 0.86 mg/g for Knjaz waste extract, while the content of ?-carotene varied from 2.48 ? 0.09 mg/g for Novosadski niski waste exract to 15.93 ? 0.56 mg/g for Knjaz waste extract. Based on the time required for the DPPH radical-extract reaction to reach steady state, the investigated lipophilic extracts, as well as BHA can be classified as the antioxidants with slow (steady state ? 150 min) antiradical behaviour. A comparison of the efficient concentrations at different kinetic times (EC50,t) for the lipophilic tomato waste extracts and BHA showed that the DPPH antiradical activity decreased in the order of BHA > Knjaz > Backa > Saint Pierre > Rutgers > Novosadski niski. The results of the correlation analysis suggest that lycopene is the main individual carotenoid responsible for the EC50,t values of the tomato waste extracts towards the stable DPPH radical.

Introduction. Primary health care in the Republic of Serbia is predominantly funded by the Republic Health Insurance Fund (RHIF). From the total income of health centers and institutes at the primary level, with no pharmacy and pharmacies (Kosovo excluded), 84% in 2008 was paid by RHIF. Frequency of participation ranged from 63-95% and it was stable in all observed years. The aim of this study was to determine the expenditures for primary health care for each insured person in statistically defined districts in the Republic of Serbia, with an emphasis on prevention participation. Material and Methods. Retrospective and comparative analysis of health statistics from the database of the Institute of Public Health of Serbia (IPHS) and financial data from the RHIF for the period 2006-2008 was done. Results. Observed by the districts in 2008, in Vojvodina, the lowest expenditure for primary health care had North Backa District (5,207 RSD) and greatest was in West Backa District (6,632 RSD) per capita. In the central Serbia territorial difference was much greater, ranging from 3,574 RSD in the District Morava to 6,701 RSD per capita in the District Toplica and Nisava. Expenditures for direct health care of RHIF per capita in the reporting period continuously have grown. Conclusion. The results showed that the largest cost for primary care for the insured person in the districts of Serbia was registered in the Nisava and Toplica (6,701 RSD) and lowest in the district of Morava (3,574 RSD) per capita.

Various biotic and abiotic factors are present in ecosystem and they influence the processes of living organisms. Some agents that come into natural waterways are genotoxic. They affect genome and during mitosis and meiosis, and cause numerical and structural changes in karyotype. A research on the degree of genotoxicity on water was carried out on some hunting grounds in Vojvodina. Three sites were selected in Srem, Banat and Backa and water was sampled at different levels of the above mentioned habitats. A cumulative sample was made for each site. Cytological and cytogenetic changes in mitosis were analyzed on the lymphocyte mammalian samples applying Allium cepa genotoxic test. The obtained results point out that the toxicity of water is of different degree and depends on the level of environmental pollution. The hunting ground in Srem is located in the forest where water resources are not polluted, what affected the results showing favorable cytogenetic findings. Genotoxicity of water was detected in Backa where the channel, available to the game, is surrounded by contaminated ground. The changes in cell division were detected, as well as numerical and structural changes in the genome. Banat hunting ground is located in the fields. No contamination was observed. Changes in cytological level that were detected by cytogenetic analysis were statistically not significant. Further and expanded research is needed, as the applied scope of this work proved to be insufficient. However, it indicates the presence of water genotoxicity on hunting grounds in Vojvodina.

Toxoplasma gondii is a ubiquitous coccidian protozoan that can infect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including humans. For immunocompetent humans it is a well-adapted parasite that usually causes asymptomatic infection. However, in congenitally infected infants and immunocompromised patients it can cause a serious life threatening disease. The aim of this study was to determine the levels of anti-toxoplasma antibodies among residents of the South Backa District, Serbia. During the period from January 2014 to December 2018, sera from 11,288 persons from South Backa District were tested on the presence of IgM and IgG antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii, using ELISA test (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany). The testing was performed on the automatic device Euroimmun Analyzer I-2P. The avidity of IgG WNV antibodies was determined for IgG positive sera using commercial avidity test (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany). In total, out of 11,288 patients who were tested for toxoplasma antibodies, the results were positive for 2,513 (22.26%). In 2014 seropositivity for Toxoplasma gondii was 25.78% (464/1800), in 2015 it was 23.30% (400/1717), in 2016 it amounted 20.99% (474/2258), in 2017 it was 21.47% (529/2464) and in 2018 seropositivity was 20.96% (639/3049). Seropositivity of 26.53% (390/1470) was found in males and it amounted 21.62% (2123/9818) in females. Possible recent infection within the last 12 months was found in 1.70% (192/11288) patients. Possible acute infection or false - positive IgM result was detected in 1.31% (148/11288) patients. Past infection was found in 2173/11288 (19.25%) patients. Equivocal results were found in 1.48% of samples (167/11288). The lowest frequency of anti-toxoplasma antibodies was detected in pre-school children 13.07% (97/742) and the highest in persons older than 65 years 60.18% (65/108). Comparing the results of the research done from 2014 to 2018 with the data from 1989, a significant decline of seroprevalence in general population and women of generative age was found.

Introduction/Objective. Pertussis is a vaccine-preventable disease that causes a large number of cases and hospitalizations worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine predictors of hospitalization in cases of pertussis among children under 10 years of age in the South Backa District of Vojvodina Province, Serbia. Methods. Data for this observational study were obtained from inpatient and outpatient healthcare facilities in the South Backa District from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016. We evaluated predictors of hospitalization among the patients who fulfilled the criteria of case definitions of pertussis proposed by the Global Pertussis Initiative. Pertussis was confirmed by DNA polymerase chain reaction or ELISA serology tests. Results. Out of 122 laboratory-confirmed pertussis cases, 43 (35.2%) were hospitalized. Apnea and pneumonia were associated with hospitalization, and all six hospitalized patients aged 0?3 months had cyanosis. Apnea was a good predictor of hospitalization among children with any duration of cough (p < 0.05). Among children with a cough that lasted longer than 14 days, post-tussive emesis or pneumonia or contact with a person who had a prolonged cough were associated with hospitalization (p = 0.035, p = 0.042, and p = 0.046, respectively). There were fewer hospitalizations in properly vaccinated cases than in partly or non-vaccinated cases between two months and four years of age (p < 0.008). Conclusions. Among the pertussis cases under 10 years of age, apnea, pneumonia, and cyanosis were factors associated with hospitalization. Immunization against pertussis corresponding to age reduces the disease severity and hospitalizations in children from two months to four years of age.

Introduction/Objective. The seasonality of pertussis is not exactly determined. The aim of this study was to describe the seasonal distribution of pertussis in the South Backa District of Vojvodina, Serbia, during four consecutive years. Methods. Data for this observational study were obtained from outpatient and inpatient health care facilities in the South Backa District from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2016. We evaluated the seasonal distribution of pertussis among the patients who fulfilled one or more criteria of clinical case definitions of pertussis proposed by the Global Pertussis Initiative. Laboratory confirmations of pertussis were obtained using real-time polymerase chain reaction or ELISA serology tests. Results. A total of 1,043 participants were included, of which 28.8% were laboratory-confirmed pertussis, with the highest prevalence of laboratory confirmation (66%) in June 2016. Observed by seasons (spring, summer, fall, and winter), there was no significant difference in the average number of testing patients or laboratory-confirmed pertussis during the study period. The average number of laboratory-confirmed cases was significantly higher in patients 0?6 years of age (p = 0.020), and with a borderline of significance in the 7?10 years age group (p = 0.049) in summer, compared to other three seasons during four consecutive years. Conclusions. With the increased physician awareness after implementation of the new clinical case definitions, pertussis was recognized throughout all four consecutive years without a clear seasonal pattern of occurrence in our area. Paralleling increase of laboratory-confirmed pertussis during summer months in comparison with other seasons in younger and older age groups suggests a possible transmission within families.

Introduction. Acute infections of the upper respiratory tract are the most common reasons why patients visit general practitioners. Overuse of antibiotics in treatment of these conditions is extremely common practice although these infections are most frequently caused by viruses. The aim of this study was to determine the distribution and susceptibility of common pathogens to antimicrobial agents that cause infections of the upper respiratory tract in outpatients and to determine whether the results obtained from the examined sample were in accordance with the recommendations of the current National Guideline. Material and Methods. .The study included 945 strains isolated from the throat and nasal swabs from January 1st to March 31st, 2008, as well as from 330 strains isolated from January 1st to March 31st, 2013 in South Backa District, Serbia. Susceptibility tests were performed by the standard disc diffusion method and according to the criteria recommended by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Results. The most commonly isolated strains were Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Branchamella catarrhalis, and Haemophilus influenzae. Susceptibility of Streptococcus pyogenes, Branchamella catarrhalis and Haemophilus influenzae to examined antibiotics did not substantially change over the two study periods. None of the isolates of Staphylococcus aures demonstrated resistance to methicillin in 2008, while the percentage of resistant strains was 5.93% in 2013. Susceptibility rates of Staphylococcus pneumoniae isolates to erythromycin and clindamycin were lower in 2013 than in 2008. Conclusion. The investigation results follow the recommendations of the National Guideline for the usage of natural penicillin in the treatment of tonsillopharyngitis. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is recommended for the treatment of rhinosinusitis, and second generation cephalosporins are the second choice.

The Euroregion ?The Danube-Drava-Sava? was brought into being for the purpose of stimulating the integration of the countries that it comprises into a unique entity in which mutual interests will be advanced. The aim of the Euroregion formation is not only the economic, but also the international, trans-border, political and social cooperation. Since 2002. four Serb municipalities have been granted the status of observers. Those are the municipalities of Subotica, Sombor, Apatin and Bac. Owing to this status, the mentioned municipalities have been offered the opportunity to develop different aspects of trans-border cooperation starting with agricultural and economic, leading to cultural and social. This paper is aimed to demonstrate what progress has been made and how much the municipalities have made use of their status in the mentioned Euroregion as well as what their perspectives and intentions for further development are.

Full textAbstract:
Perennial adventitious species Asclepias syriaca L. which originates from Northern America is spread across Serbia, and especially Vojvodina, along the banks of waterways and borders of floodplain forests. Based on floristic and phytocenological studies in Backa, the presence of ass. Asclepiadetum syriacae L?nikov? in Chytr? 2009 stands, in which A. syriaca is present with the highest degree of presence (V) and with substantial covering value (2850), can be confirmed. The study shows ecological analysis of stands of mentioned association for basic environmental factors (moisture - F, reaction - R, nutrients - N, humus - H, aeration - D, light - L, temperature - T, and continentality - K) based on floristic composition of stands and their ecological indices, considering population and every species coverage in a stand. Given that a combined scale for population and coverage of species in stands, along numerical, has descriptive marks, modification of evaluated values according to Westhoff & van der Maarel scale which is completely numerical was conducted, which enabled data processing. The obtained results of the ecological analysis point to favorable ecological conditions for development of stands of this association, which can help predict the possible directions of spread of this invasive species.

Chikungunya virus is an Arbo virus belonging to the family Togaviridae. In urban areas, antropophilic Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are vectors for virus transmission to human population. Chikungunya virus has attracted the professional and scientifi c public attention in 2013 causing a massive outbreak on the American continent. In Europe, autochthonous transmissions of Chikungunya virus infections have beenrecorded in Italy in 2007 as well as in France in 2010 and 2014. Usutu virus is a RNA virus from the family Flaviviridae. Th e virus circulates in a transmission cycle between wild birds and Culex mosquitoes. The virus has been detected in numerous bird species across Europe. Manifestations recorded in humans include meningoencephalitis and skin rash. First human cases in Europe were recorded in immunocompromised individuals in Italy in 2009. Spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato is transmitted to humans by ticks and causes Lyme disease, a multisystemic disease with dermatological, neurological, cardiological or articular manifestations. Ninety three persons interviewed about risk factors for vector-borne infections were examined. The examination was performed using commercial ELISA IgG for Chikungunya and Usutu virus and ELISA IgM and IgG test for Borrelia burgdorferi in line with manufacturer’s instructions (Euroimmun, Germany). Out of 93 examined individuals Usutu virus specific IgG antibodies were identified in 7.5% (7/93) persons. Th e results of ELISA IgG test for Chikungunya virus were negative in the majority of tested samples, whereas 7.5% (7/93) of samples revealed borderline result. In 9.7% (9/93) participants, antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi were detected only by ELISA IgM test. Recent infection with Borrelia burgdorferi was confi rmed in 2.15% (2/93) individuals, whereas IgG antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi were detected in only one participant. Th e obtained results indicated that Usutu virus is active in the territory of South Bačka District contrary to Chikungunya virus as well as that Borrelia burgdorferi is an important pathogen in the investigated region.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper are presented the results of an analysis of intrapopulation variability using morphometric markers of 20 Bald cypress test trees originating from seed stand S 01.10.01.01 near Backa Palanka. The morphometric characters of cones (length, width and number of grains) and seedlings (root collar diameter and height of seedling) that were produced by this seed were analyzed. A mutual biological similarity or distance of mother trees depending on the analyzed characters was tested. The determined values of the dimensions of cones and seedlings indicate the good genetic and adaptive potential of this species, which can be a starting point for the mass production of Bald cypress seed and planting materials in Serbia.
