The aim of the present study was to investigate comparative effects pesticides Chlorfenapyr, Dimethoate and Acetamiprid on health
This study was conducted to evaluate the adverse effects of atrazine on hematology, biochemistry and genotoxicity snow trout (Schizothorax plagiostomus). Almost all treated groups presented considerably (P < 0.05) lesser values hematocrit, hemoglobin, WBC, RBC, MCH, MCHC, monocytes lymphocytes while significantly higher HCT platelets are observed. A Significant decrease is observed in sodium, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, triglycerides, creatinine, urea, total protein contents whereas, a...
Acacia species are very important tree in tropical and subtropical countries of the World for their economic medicinal benefits. Precise identification is to distinguish invasive from rare however, it difficult differentiate based on morphological charcters. In addition, precise also wood charcterization forest industry as these declining due illegal logging deforestation. To overcome thsese limitations identification, DNA barcoding being used an efficient quick approach species. this study,...
The small hive beetles (SHBs) cause dangerous damages to bee colonies in several countries. Some African countries represent the native land these beetles. SHBs are not well established North Africa and South Europe (the closest countries). Therefore, this study aimed model current future distribution of utilizing temperature datasets. A total 250 occurrence data was incorporated study. Six variables were used Maxent analysis suitability for SHBs. Three climate models estimate 2050 2070,...
The Asiatic black bear Ursus thibetanus is one of the least well-known species mammals, and there have been few studies conducted to investigate its status feeding behaviour, particularly in north-western parts Pakistan. We investigated food habits altitudinal distribution Kaghan Valley region western Himalayas, interviewed local villagers (n = 180) about items consumed by bears, collected signs 178) presence bears at different altitudes. reported that predominantly inhabit forests Malkandi,...
In tropical and subtropical countries, tick infestation causes major public health problems considerable financial losses to the livestock industry. This study was aimed assess species composition of richness analyze phylogeny Rhipicephalus microplus in District Bannu Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.
Earthworms are highly productive invertebrates and play a vital role in organic farming improving soil structure function. The gastrointestinal tract of earthworms possessed agricultural important bacteria. So, the current research aimed was to examine, screen, identify plant growth promoting bacteria existing digestive Eisenia fetida called vermi-bacteria. traits such as siderophore, phytohormone, hydrolytic enzymes production, phosphate solubiliation were assessed. Eleven vermi-bacteria...
Tree damage is one of the destructive behaviors Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus G. (Baron) Cuvier, 1823), and this type causes great economic loss to forest. A survey about Himalayan white pine (Pinus wallichiana (A. B) Jacks, 1836) damages was conducted at Kaghan Valley, District Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Field surveys were carried out within five major sites including Manshi reserve forest, Kamal Bann Malkandi Noori Bichla some Guzara forests. Line transects diameter...
Both hormonal and genetic data reveal that the stress hormone cortisol its regulating genes may affect level of testosterone in humans. It is uncertain whether type 2 diabetes mellitus would manifest similarly. Furthermore, a strategy to screen out system contribute decline humans less understood.
The present study was conducted to describe the variations in morphological characteristics of different selected populations indigenous chickens. Five chickens (localities) Chhajjian, KP, Pakistan, were studied based on qualitative traits recorded for a total 100 Each contains multiple variants plumage colors and other physical features. average flock size observed be 38. Predominant color grayish mixtures along with percentages localities. Pea comb dominant type all Most yellow skinned....
In this study we investigated the acute toxicity of Zinc Nano Particles (ZnO NPs) and bulk ZnO on tilapia fish (Oreochromis mossambicus). Oreochromis mossambicus was exposed to different concentration NPs, mixed solution both NPs (20 ppb, 20 ppb) respectively for 96 h. A very high impact recorded in hematological parameters which shows significant increased (p < 0.05) count white WBCs platelets all experimental groups compared tocontrol group. The RBCs, Hb, hematocrit MCHC were significantly...
Present study was conducted among school children to recognize the prevalence of IPIs in rural communities district Dir Lower, Pakistan. A sum 324 samples stool were collected (210 boys and 114 girls). Used direct smear method formol ether sedimentation concentration technique for processing samples. The result shows that 82% (n=266) found infected comprised 64.8% male 35.1% females. Children age group 10 12 years extremely 94.2% while 4-6 year having minimum ratio infection 72%. Current...
Abstract Asiatic black bear is present in variety of habitats like broad-leaves and coniferous forests, extending form sea level to 4300m elevation change their habitat for food purpose seasonally. The study was conducted at Kaghan Siran Valleys, District Mansehra, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan assess bear. Line transect method used observation signs. Twelve meter circular radius plots were selected the concern vegetation’s i.e. (trees, shrubs herbs) three six placed each transect. At result...
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a globally prevalent condition that leads to infertility in women. While environmental factors contribute PCOS, maternal genetics also play significant role. Currently, there no definitive test for identifying predisposition PCOS. Hence, our objective discover novel genetic risk PCOS by investigating the genomes of patients from Pakistan.We utilized Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) sequence complete mitochondrial DNA three patients. Subsequently, we...
The present study was the first comprehensive investigation of genetic mutation and expression levels p53 signaling genes in cutaneous melanoma through various databases providing large datasets. mutational landscape its higher than expected, with TP53 followed by CDKN2A being most mutated gene melanoma. Furthermore, analysis showed that TP53, MDM2, CDKN2A, TP53BP1 were overexpressed, while MDM4 CDKN2B under-expressed Overall, TCGA data revealed among all other proteins, significantly both...
Abstract The Rufous treepie (Dendrocitta vagabunda) belongs to family corvidae, order Passeriformes which includes about 100 species. current study was conducted gather information the Population distribution and habitat analysis of D. vagabunda at District Abbottabad, Pakistan. data were collected on monthly basis both morning evening times (2018-2019). “The ‘’Point count Method” used for population estimation ‘’Quadrates area. result shows an average month-wise density maximum Jhangra...
