Abstract Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is one of the leading causes lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI), responsible for infecting people from all age groups—a majority which comprises infants and children. Primarily, severe RSV are accountable multitudes deaths worldwide, predominantly children, every year. Despite several efforts to develop a vaccine against as potential countermeasure, there has been no approved or licensed available yet, control infection effectively....

The hilsa shad ( Tenualosa ilisha ) is a migratory fish of great economic and cultural importance in Bangladesh. However, its physiological adaptations to diverse environmental conditions are not well understood. This study provides comprehensive assessment the biophysical, hematological, biochemical characteristics from riverine, estuarine, marine environments We sampled 180 adult nine sites, revealing significant habitat-specific variations water quality, with sites showing highest levels...

The leather industry generates huge volume of waste each year. Keratin is the principal constituents this that resistant to degradation. Some bacteria have ability degrade keratin through synthesis a protease called keratinase can be used as sources animal feed and industrial production biodiesel, biofertilizer, bioplastic. Majority studies focused on degradation using gram-positive bacteria. Not much are currently available from gram-negative selection best parameters for maximum enzyme....

The studies were carried out to evaluate antibacterial activity of 35 aqueous herbal extracts against a total 20 clinical Klebshiella sp. isolates. maximum was found as 90% in crude Syzygium aromaticum (leaf) and Citrus limon L. (fruit) followed by 85% Spondias pinnata (leaf). Sensitivity these isolates also evaluated for eight commercial antibiotic discs following disc diffusion assay where most the develop resistance multiple antibiotics. exhibited resistant chloramphenicol erythromycin...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of different environments on rearing and production performance freshwater mud eel, Monopterus cuchia.The over a period six months from June November 2013.Different such as House tanks, Earthen ditches, Plastic tank Back yard tanks were used.Except earthen ditch-2 (control), all fed by biological food small live fish (Tilapia fry), earth worms, dead fish, snails, frogs chicken viscera in amounts.40 fishes (approximately 1kg weight) stocked...

The wetlands in northeastern Bangladesh are home to some of the most prolific and valuable ecosystems on planet, offering a wide range benefits both local wider communities. A limited number research this topic have been carried out various coastal hilsa, but none located region Bangladesh. Thus, goal study was better understand commercially relevant species (anadromous hilsa) as well assess wetland ecosystem services more thoroughly with contribution their fish genetic resources. In...

This study deals with the investigation of parasitic infection in Channa punctatus collected from open and closed water Sylhet, Bangladesh.Skins, gills intestine host were observed for finding parasites.In total 253 parasites identified under 26 species 40 experimental fish.12 ectoparasites 13 endoparasites recorded 1 more both ecto endo activities punctatus.Different types such as protozoa, platyhelminth, nematoda, acanthocephala, arthropoda, gastrotricha rotifer found fish.The overall...

The study was accomplished to investigate Escherichia coli from two freshwater fish, Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), collected a fish farm in Sylhet, Bangladesh. Six of each were analyzed isolate detect coli, E. identified based on morphological biochemical characteristics. antibiogram investigated different generations using eight antibiotic discs such as Chloramphenicol (CH), Streptomycin (S), Gentamycin (G), Ciprofloxacin (CI), Co-trimethoxazole (CO),...

In this study, ecological diversity and species richness of earthworms were examined in different habitats Sylhet Metropolitan area Bangladesh.A total eight earthworm such as Eisenia fetida, Amynthus aspergillum, Aporrectodea caliginosa, longa, Lumbricus castaneus, terrestris, rubellus Octolasion cyaneum morphologically identified from study.The distribution related to abundance was also investigated.Highest recorded Kazitula while it the minimal case Baluchor locality.The E. fetida...

This study was carried out for molecular identification and sexual differentiation of freshwater mud eel, Monopterus cuchia which is most important induced breeding.Traditional classification eels has always been obscurerd unreliable due to their morphological ambiguity.A rapid cost effective markers, mitochondrial 16S rRNA glutamine synthetase gene used establish standards this fish.Similar bands were seen in all the individuals at level 250bp length by using 16s DNA 24 544bp partial...

α-Thalassemia (α-thal) is assumed to be very prevalent in Bangladesh. We aimed assess the prevalence of disease country and provide a model for α-thal newborn screening collected umbilical cord blood (UCB) samples from 413 unrelated newborns Demographic information, indices, osmotic fragility, serum iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) levels were evaluated all subjects. All subjects underwent polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnosis status, followed by multiplex gap-PCR-based identification deletion...

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic condition marked by persistently elevated blood sugar levels. Key digestive enzymes viz. α-amylase and α-glucosidase, hydrolyze consumed carbohydrates into glucose which raises the postprandial level in diabetic patient. So, development of α-glucosidase inhibitors procured from medicinal plants to retard starch digestion an alternative approach for controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus. Objective: The current study aimed evaluate inhibitory...

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing public health concern globally, with the threat of post-antibiotic era, where common infections can become fatal, very plausible reality. Despite ongoing efforts to control AMR, both mortality and expenses have increased. To combat this threat, thorough understanding mechanisms driver behind issue needs be known. The key are modification or destruction antimicrobials, reduction access target, alteration target. These may present in microorganisms...

The idea of newborn screening is to discover potentially fatal or disabling problems in infants as early possible, usually, before the baby shows any signs symptoms an illness condition. As part government's program, almost all developed nations are checked at birth for uncommon, severe, and treatable disorders (NBS). remains a major difficulty Bangladesh, there have lately been proposals wider voluntary strategy aid detection treatment broader range disorders. A self-administered online...

The influence of tea mosquito bug (Helopeltis theivora) infestation on the physiological and biochemical changes in leaves as well quality parameters made was investigated. Results revealed that such polyphenol, chlorophyll a b, carotenoids, catechins, reducing sugar antioxidant activity reduced when shoots are infested by bug. Black prepared from Helopeltis contained significantly lower amount theaflavin thearubigin ratio, highly polymerized substances, total liquor colour, colour index,...
