Thirteen fungal isolates, having characteristics similar to Beauveria bassiana, were isolated from field soils of Punjab, India, on Beauveria-specific selective medium (BS medium). Molecular screening the B. bassiana using PCR amplification with bassiana-specific primer and nucleotide sequence analysis ITS region, confirmed only three isolates as (now named BbR1, BbR2, BbR3) along MTCC 2028 reference isolate. Comparative RAPD-PCR ten different RAPD primers showed that all closely related....

Berberis aristata is an important part of traditional healing system from more than 2500 years. The aqueous extract root bark displayed broad spectrum activity against 13 test pathogens, ranging 12 to 25 mm. In classical optimization, 15% concentration prepared at 40 °C for min was optimal and thermostable. Statistical optimization enhanced the by 1.13-1.30-folds. Ethyl acetate best organic solvent elute out potential compound responsible antimicrobial activity. Diterpenes were most abundant...

Both sheep and goat pox are contagious viral diseases affect small ruminants caused by virus respectively that belong to genus Capripoxvirus of Poxviridae family. Huge economic losses emanating from the disease outbreaks results wool hide damage, subsequent production also morbidities mortalities associated with disease. This communication highlights clinico-epidemiological observations two one outbreaks. Grossly, multisystemic nodular lesions, mucopurulent nasal discharges respiratory...

A total of 390 one-day-old quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided into 4 groups (3 replicates per treatment), viz. CX, FX, MX, and FM, containing 75, 105, 105 birds, respectively. Birds in the control group (CX) fed mash alone, whereas birds FX 200 ppm fumonisin B1 (FB1) from Fusarium verticillioides culture material; MX was 100 moniliformin (M) fujikuroi FM a combination FB1 M. Diets d 1 to 35 study clinical signs, growth response, serum biochemical changes, cell-mediated...

This report describes two subpopulations of B cells in sheep. These have distinct recirculation characteristics and tissue distributions. Phenotypically the populations are distinguished by their differential expression complement receptors, CD21 (CR2) CD11b/CD18 (CR3). CD11b+ surface (s)IgMhi , co-express CD11c but L-selectin negative. They populate splenic marginal zone absent from ileal Peyer's patch (IPP) follicles both afferent efferent lymph compartments. Fluorescent tracing...

Swine-origin influenza A H1N1 (S-OIV) has not been systematically studied in Indian children.To study the clinical characteristics, morbidity and mortality pattern children with S-OIV infection.This prospective was conducted during 'containment phase' of pandemic New Delhi from 10 June to 5 August 2009. All suspected being infected by were admitted isolation wards clinically evaluated according WHO guidelines. Nasal throat swabs collected immediately for real-time reverse transcriptase...

This study examined the effects of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and moniliformin (M) on heart Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Three hundred ninety day-old were randomly divided into four groups: 1) FB1 alone (FX), 2) M (MX), 3) (FM), 4) chick mash (CX). We used three pen replicates 35 per in groups FX, MX, FM 25 group CX. Gross microscopic changes studied nine birds (three replicate) from each at weekly intervals up to 28 days postfeeding (DPF). Ultrastructural (one bird 21 DPF. Thinning...

Three hundred 1-day-old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided into two groups of 150 each. One group was maintained on mash alone, whereas Fusarium verticillioides culture material (FCM) added to in the second from 5 days age and supplied mg FB1/kg mash. At day 21, each further subdivided groups, yielding four with 75 birds apiece, which served as control (group CX), Salmonella Gallinarum alone CS), FB1 FX), fed infected FS). An oral challenge organisms (2 × 104...

One hundred fifty 1-d-old quail chicks (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were divided into 2 groups. The groups designated as controls (CX) and fumonisin-fed birds (FX) with each containing 50 100 chicks, respectively. in group CX maintained on mash alone, whereas the FX diets supplemented 300 ppm of fumonisin B1 from Fusarium verticillioides (formerly moniliforme) culture material 1 d. Quail both examined daily for clinical signs mortality. Five randomly selected individually weighed 0, 7, 14,...

Background: The increasing usage of herbal medicines worldwide has increased the probability co-administration and allopathic medicines. This may lead to serious safety concerns, including herb-drug interactions (HDIs). Many HDIs be overlooked due poor doctor-patient communication about drug probably because lack knowledge among physicians. study was thus planned identify awareness medical students regarding use HDIs, help improve teaching skills curriculum development for students.Methods:...
