Crocus sativus, a medicinally important herbaceous plant, has been traditionally used to cure coughs, colds, insomnia, cramps, asthma, and pain. Moreover, the therapeutic applications of saffron include its immunomodulatory anticancer properties. The current experimental analysis was performed explore potential nutraceutical efficacy corm, leaf, petal, stigma ethanolic extracts as analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, antidepressant using hot plate, carrageenan-induced paw edema,...
Gastrointestinal (GI) Parasitic infection is a hot issue for cattle management. There variation of GI parasites effects in sex, age cattle, drinking water condition, nutrition, and severity infection. Studies on prevalence among population Dir Lower are lacking. A total 40 farms were selected randomly six tehsil namely Tehsil Adenzai, Timergara, Balambat, Munda ,Tehsil Lalqala, Khall. Freshly fecal samples collected from the during March 2018 till December 2018. Out 314 buffaloes examined...
The current study was carried out between October 2017 and 2018 to explore knowledge, attitudes, practices, information sources regarding toxoplasmosis among pregnant women in Malakand region, the northwestern part of Pakistan. 2018.A structured questionnaire used interview after taking verbal informed consent. Graphpad version 5 indicate differences. Significant considered as a P-value less than 0.05. This revealed poor knowledge toxoplasmosis.Overall, 31.2% respondents showed good 39.2%...
Chlorpyrifos (CPF), is an organophosphate pesticide that widely used for agricultural purposes. However, it has well-documented hepatotoxicity. Lycopene (LCP) a plant-derived carotenoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The present work was designed to evaluate the potential hepatoprotective actions of LCP against CPF-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Animals were assigned into five groups namely: Group I (Control), II (LCP), III IV (CPF + 5 mg/kg), V 10 mg/kg). offered...
Fish gut is a versatile organ serving as the primary pathway for invasion by pathogens, particularly parasites, playing crucial role in modulating intestinal adaptive immune response. This study aimed to investigate cellular-mediated reaction, mucosal acidity, and expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD68 intestines catfish, Clarias gariepinus, naturally infected with helminths. Forty catfish were collected from Nile River...
Schistosomiasis is a neglected disease, as the World Health Organization classified it in second category after malaria. approved praziquantel (PZQ) only chemotherapy to treat schistosomiasis. Over years, some problems have arisen with PZQ, showed poor efficacy early stages of infection well emergence resistance it. In searching for new alternative drugs schistosomiasis, researchers intensified their efforts find drug. The present study focuses on evaluating effect three plant extracts...
Schistosomiasis continues to affect the health and quality of life millions people around world. has been ranked second disease after malaria in terms importance as a targeted tropical disease. Praziquantel (PZQ) is only drug approved by World Health Organization (WHO) for treatment schistosomiasis. Being drug, parasite resistance this developed. Therefore, search new alternatives goal many researchers. In study, effects aqueous extracts Zingiber officinale, Piper nigrum, Coriandrum sativum...
Abstract Marine organisms produce a variety of compounds with pharmacological activities. In order to better comprehend the medicinal value five particular seaweed orders Ulvales (Ulva intestinalis), Bryopsidales (Codium decorticatum), Ectocarpales (Iyengaria stellata), Dictyotales (Spatoglossum aspermum) and Gigartinales (Hypnea musciformis), bioactive analysis including screening phytochemical components, antioxidant antimicrobial activities was aim investigation. The species include U....
World Health Organization (WHO) has approved only one treatment for schistosomiasis, praziquantel (PZQ), but some poor efficacy was noticed in patients during the early stage of infection. Therefore, researchers have intensified their efforts to research new alternative medicines treat schistosomiasis. In present study, vitro as well vivo studies been accomplished evaluate effect Origanum majorana, Ziziphus spina-christi, and Salvia fruticosa extracts a different concentration 500, 250, 125,...

With diversity of hosts range, most identified nematode species still lack the crucial connection between morphological and molecular make-up, which is important for precisely classifying specimens. The present study provides complete description Rhabdias africanus in new host record, Sclerophrys regularis. Fifty toad specimens were collected, a high prevalence R. infection (74%) was observed. Morphology ultrastructure observed using light scanning electron microscopes. Morphological...
