Lumpy skin disease (LSD) has devastating economic impact. During the last decade, LSD had spread to climatically new and previously disease-free countries, which also includes its recent emergence in Indian subcontinent (2019). This study deals with outbreak(s) from cattle Ranchi (India). Virus was isolated scabs (skin lesions) primary goat kidney cells. Phylogenetic analysis based on nucleotide sequencing of virus (LSDV) ORF011, ORF012 ORF036 suggested that (LSDV/ Bos taurus...
Lumpy skin disease (LSD) was reported for the first time in India 2019 and since then, it has become endemic. Since a homologous (LSD-virus based) vaccine not available country, goatpox virus (GPV)-based heterologous authorized mass immunization to induce protection against LSD cattle. This study describes evaluation of safety, immunogenicity efficacy new live-attenuated developed by using an Indian field strain, isolated from The attenuated continuous passage (P = 50) Vero cells. (50th LSDV...
This current research set out to characterize Halari donkey milk by investigating its nutritional constituents, including proximate analysis, water activity, titratable acidity, energy, and microbiological analysis. A comprehensive profiling of vitamins, minerals, amino acids was also carried out. It found that the composition consistent with previously published literature comparable human milk. has low 0.86 ± 0.04% fat content, 2.03 0.03% protein 0.51 0.05% ash high 5.75 0.15% lactose...
Since donkey milk has a similar composition to human milk, it been well demonstrated that is an excellent alternative. The content of (DM) changes during lactation, nevertheless, not thoroughly researched. overall objective was explore the metabolite in colostrum and mature using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. In both included total 36 metabolites were identified. differentially regulated (p < 0.05), where 24 showed upregulation 28 downregulated. (14 upregulated, 10...
Copy number variations (CNVs) have become widely acknowledged as a significant source of genomic variability and phenotypic variance. To understand the genetic variants in horses, CNVs from six Indian horse breeds, namely, Manipuri, Zanskari, Bhutia, Spiti, Kathiawari Marwari were discovered using Axiom™ Equine Genotyping Array. These breeds differed agro-climatic adaptation with distinct characters. A total 2668 autosomal 381 CNV regions (CNVRs) identified PennCNV tool. DeepCNV was employed...
Watermelon rind and seeds are agro-industrial waste, which can be used as a source of polyphenolic compounds citrulline with several beneficial effects on health. This investigation aimed to evaluate the feasibility preparation double emulsions (DEs) encapsulating lyophilized watermelon powder (WRP) using seed oil (WSO) by two-step emulsification method. WRP was added in concentrations 2%, 2.5%, 3%, PGPR, hydrophobic emulsifier, 4% phase. To maximize combinations during stable DEs, sodium...
Zinc ions can hinder the synthesis of proteins required for accomplishing several stages viral life cycle. The intracellular zinc concentration be increased by using ionophores which transport into cells and replication. (Hydroxy)chloroquine is an example a ionophore, but both (hydroxy)chloroquine toxic to host organism. nanocarriers may serve as camouflage evade adverse effects drugs, chemicals, nanoparticles on host. We formulated ZnO with flower-like morphology (ZnONFs). It was further...
Milk contains plentiful nutrients. In Western countries, cow’s milk fat is supposed as a risk factor for health because it source of high fraction saturated fatty acids. There has been increasing attention in donkey’s milk. Donkeys’ preferential potential new dietetic food and good alternative infant nutrition the case bovine protein allergy. The microbiota present this may be responsible its beneficial effects. Considering benefits, an increase utilization donkeys’ expected. review...
Abstract Host-dependency factors have increasingly been targeted to minimize antiviral drug resistance. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibition of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (a cellular protein) suppresses buffalopox virus (BPXV) synthesis by targeting p38-MNK1-eIF4E signaling pathway. order provide insights into the evolution resistance, selected resistant mutants long-term sequential passages (P; n = 60) in presence inhibitor (SB239063). The P60-SB239063 exhibited...
The therapeutic efficacy of imidocarb, artesunate, arteether, buparvaquone and arteether+buparvaquone combination was evaluated against Babesia equi Indian origin in splenectomised donkeys with experimentally induced acute infection. Efficacies these drugs were tested by administering each drug or to groups (having three group). One group donkey kept as untreated control for comparing the results. Parasitaemia, haematology (WBC, RBC, PCV, granulocytes haemoglobin), biochemical parameters...
A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic marine bacterial strain, SAB-3T, was isolated from brown macroalgae (Dictyota sp.) growing in the Arabian sea, Goa, India. The strain grew optimally at 30 °C, with 2.0-4.0 % (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.0 on agar medium. Strain SAB-3T unable to hydrolyse aesculin did not grow presence of rifamycin but showed resistance antibiotics such as cefadroxil co-trimoxazole. major fatty acids were summed feature 8 (C18 : 1ω7c/C18 1ω6c), 3 (C16 1ω7c/C16 1ω6c) C16 0, Q-8...
A novel archaeal strain designated as SPP-AMP-1T was isolated from saltpan soil, using the serial dilution method on a halophilic medium supplemented with ampicillin. Cells were both rod-shaped and pleomorphic in nature, non-motile, unable to produce acid variety of sugars or grow anaerobically different substrates (l-arginine) electron acceptors (DMSO, nitrate). Optimal growth observed at 42 °C, 3.4-4.2 M NaCl pH 7.2. did not lyse distilled water grew absence Mg2+ ions. Phylogenetic...
Populations of the six equine breeds registered by Indian National Bureau Animal Genetic Resources have drastically decreased due to indiscriminate breeding and their low utilization. In this study, 15 biometric indices along with typical breed characteristics were recorded for 50 animals each except Bhutia (35) phenotypic characterization. On basis heights at wither, Kathiawari Marwari grouped under "horse", while Zanskari, Manipuri, Spiti fell "pony" breeds. was tallest significantly...
