Background: Human brucellosis is a neglected and zoonotic disease also known as Malta fever or undulant fever. Objectives: A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the seroprevalence of access role risk factors associated with this in humans Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: total 250 serum samples were collected subjected Rose Bengal Plate Test Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay for screening Brucella. predesigned questionnaire filled prior sampling collect data regarding socio -...
Enterotoxaemia is a severe disease caused by Clostridium perfringens and render high mortality huge economic losses in livestock. However, scanty information only few cases are reported about the presence patho-physiology of enterotoxaemia camels. The bacterium induces per-acute death animals due to rapid production different lethal toxins. necropsy camels (per-acute = 15, acute 3) was conducted at 18 outbreaks desert area Bahawalpur region. At necropsy, serosal surfaces visceral organs...
Abstract Mammals have evolved many antiviral factors impacting different steps of the viral life cycle. Associated with chromatin-modifying enzymes, cellular cofactor CTIP2 contributes to HIV-1 gene silencing in latently infected reservoirs that constitute major block toward an HIV cure. We report, for first time, virus has developed a strategy overcome this transcriptional block. Productive infection results Vpr-mediated depletion microglial cells and CD4+ T cells, two reservoirs....
Water is one of the most important and vital substance on earth. Without water, there would be no life this planet (earth). Around 20% human population has access to quality drinking water. Pakistan listed 6 th highly populated country earth having about 207.81 million individuals. Punjab province with 110 people. Contamination water burning issue country. Industrialization, increase in population, intermixing sewer pipelines improper utilization compromise decrease quantity The physical,...
Abstract Increasing trend in antimicrobial resistance and failure of chemically synthesized antibiotics lead to discover alternative methods for the treatment bacterial infections. Various medicinal plants are use traditionally their active compounds can be further applied diseases. This study was designed determine antibacterial activity Punica granatum (P. L.) (pomegranate) peel extract against Enterobacteriaceae [Escherichia coli (E. coli), Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) Shigella...
This study was conducted to evaluate the anticoccidial potential of Artemisia brevifolia extract (ABE) and its effect on biochemical parameters against experimental coccidiosis in broiler chickens. For this purpose, a total 150 chicks were procured divided into 5 equal groups (30 birds per group). At one week age, first three (A, B C) orally fed with ABE at dose rates 100, 200 300mg/kg respectively for seven consecutive days. Group D served as infected/medicated treated Baycox® (1ml/L...
Viral diseases have caused devastating effect on poultry industry leading to significant losses in economy of world.In the presented study, ability Newcastle disease virus (NDV), infectious bursal (IBDV) and avian influenza (AIV) grow two cell lines was evaluated.Both chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) DF-1 cells were used cytopathic effects (CPE) produced by these viruses observed.The titer terms TCID 50 determined after 24h up four days for each virus.The same type CPE observed all study both...
The growing number of bacterial strains resistant to therapeutic agents has been surpassing the various antibiotics developed by chemical and pharmaceutical industries. This problem driven development research using with antimicrobial potential, an emphasis on plant-derived natural products. study evaluated compounds present in Eucalyptus citriodora essential oil (EOEc) cultivated northeastern Brazil its properties as antibacterial agent resistance modifier against methicillin-resistant...
The present study was conducted from March 2021 to February 2022 in the Thal desert and Trimmu barrage of district Jhang located Punjab province Pakistan find out diversity, abundance, distribution birds. point count method used for barrage, line transect collection data area. We recorded 31,696 individuals belonging 67 species birds two distinct types habitats (Thal barrage) Jhang. Among these species, 39 were residents, 18 winter visitors, 9 summer breeders, a single (Terek sandpiper)...
Hydropericardium syndrome (HPS) is a fatal disease of broiler chickens causing high mortality and heavy economic losses in various countries. More than 100 million birds have been affected by this destructive less two years worldwide. As it viral disease, the only solution to vaccinate chickens. Different types vaccines are being used against different areas world. Liver organ inactivated more extensively control initially. These many drawbacks regarding their dose, un-predictable immune...
Abstract In this research, Salmonella species were isolated from the animal, insect and human enteric sources in Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. These characterized by different microbiological molecular techniques including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of 16S rRNA gene. Furthermore, sequencing amplicons confirmed all ten isolates as strains. The antigenic cross-reactivity was found maximum between HB1 (strain honeybee) antiserum its antigen with an antibody titer 1:128, while...
Background: Giardia intestinalis is the most common protozoan infecting small intestine of human beings and a major cause enteric infection, especially in children throughout world. It highly diverse protozoan, which comprises complex eight genetic assemblages that are further differentiated into sub-assemblages. Objectives: A cross-sectional study was conducted to detect frequency, molecular detection assemblage identification G. Punjab, Pakistan. Methods: total 800 stool samples were...
This study holds significant importance due to its focus on Campylobacter, the leading bacterial cause of gastroenteritis worldwide, responsible for ∼96 million cases each year. By investigating prevalence both Campylobacter jejuni and coli in humans, animals, environment, this research sheds light broader impact these pathogens, which can harm human animal populations. Traditional microbiological methods were implemented followed by optimized multiplex polymerase chain reaction targeting...
