Eastern encephalitis is a disease of horses, man, birds, and reptiles caused by a virus that in some hosts results in an inflammation of the brain. The causative virus belongs to a group classified as mosquito-borne encephalitides. This disease, more commonly called eastern equine encephalitis in the past, occurs from Wisconsin and Texas to the Atlantic coast and is particularly prevalent on our e

Determination of 2-isovaleryl-1,3-indandione with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine. Rodenticide Analysis.
At present, three 2-alkyl-1,3-indandiones (PMP, pival, and diphacinon) are widely used as rodenticides. Because analytical procedures now in use are empirical and do not furnish adequate or positive means for distinguishing among these closely related compounds, studies were undertaken to develop a sensitive and specific method for the determination of PMP. The relation between KCN and the 2,4-d
