Occurrence of Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Insecta: Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), commonly known as fall armyworm, in southern India is reported along with associated natural enemies.Severe damage was noticed Chikkaballapur, Hassan, Shivamogga, Davanagere and Chitradurga during July-August 2018.The incidence ranged from 9.0 to 62.5 percent at various locations, maximum recorded Hassan district followed by Davanagere, Shivamogga Chitradurga.Morphology molecular based taxonomic tools were...
Background Epidemiological risk factors such as the demography of a place, environment, food, livestock, and companion animals are known sources Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) has become powerful tool to complement traditional microbiological characterization foodborne pathogens. Moreover, K. several species complexes (KpSC) is very difficult differentiate using routine methods. The present study aims investigate prevalence in fish available retail market WGS....
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) presents economic challenges in enzootic countries impacting small ruminant productivity. The state of Karnataka, India, implemented a mass vaccination campaign alignment with the PPR-Global Eradication Programme (GEP) and National Strategic Plan for PPR eradication. This study was conducted from January to March 2023 assess seroconversion post-vaccinated goats sheep at epidemiological unit (epi-unit) level, aligning World Organisation Animal Health (WOAH)...
Baculoviruses are arthropod-specific pathogens, and find extensive applications in pest control strategies recombinant protein expression. Spodoptera litura nucleopolyhedrovirus (SpltNPV) infects the tropical armyworm litura, which is an important polyphagous crop widely distributed regions of Asia Oceania. Using next-generation sequencing, we report stage-specific profiling SpltNPV-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) at different time intervals post-infection (p.i.) Sf21 cells. Sequence length...
Among the major pests of maize in India are two stem borers, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) and Sesamia inferens (Walker), an earworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner). As a pest control strategy, transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) hybrids undergoing regulatory trials India. We have determined sensitivity target lepidopterans to insecticidal Bt proteins expressed maize, as this determines product efficacy resistance management strategy be adopted. Maize with event MON89034 express proteins,...
A multiple insecticide tolerant strain of beneficial egg parasitoid, Trichogramma chilonis with several folds tolerance to six different groups was developed for suppression Lepidopteran insect pests on vegetable crops. Tolerant parasitized significantly more pest eggs and survived long compared the susceptible under sprayed condition. The could parasitize during winter (50.8%) summer (39.0%), whereas no parasitism recorded by system in net-house. activity detoxifying enzymes, viz.,...
DNA barcoding has gained increased recognition as a molecular tool for species identification of insects. Interspecific variation in sequences some genes is much higher than intraspecific and provides an opportunity to use identification. A study was therefore undertaken barcode 5 commonly prevalent CuliCOIdes farming regions Bengaluru districts Karnataka state. The Cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene C. anophelis, palpifer, huffi, innoxius circumscriptus yielded amplified fragment 648 bp...
Summary The epidemiology and toxigenicity of MRSA in the fishery environment are poorly understood. In this study, methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ( n = 1) methicillin‐susceptible S . (MSSA) 2) from retail fish were subjected to comprehensive genome analysis. Here, we report occurrence ST672‐MRSA‐IV/t1309 ST5‐MSSA/t105 for first time India environment. resistome isolates was concordance with their phenotypic resistance pattern. Phenotypically, profile MSSA...
Kaas Plateau is located in Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India. The region one its kinds being a biodiversity hot spot declared by UNESCO representing rich However, insect this has not been studied detail so far. Thus, the present study was aimed at identification community based on mitochondrial gene, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (MT-CO1), for quick and reliable identification. During collection trip, several specimens were collected, which belonged to seven orders, viz., Lepidoptera,...
Oenopia sauzeti Mulsant and O. mimica Weise (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are externally very similar commonly misidentified species of lady beetles distributed in the Indian subcontinent. Diagnostic characters including male genitalia illustrated for these to facilitate their identification. The cox1 mtDNA sequences (658 bp) had only 89% similarity upon pair-wise alignment, which distinguished them with 75 nucleotide differences, thus confirming that distinct species. DNA barcodes accession...
Host-insect and host-plant associated differentiation of genetically divergent microbiota were recorded from economically important egg parasitoid collected 26 locations in India, Trichogramma chilonis constituted 86.8% the populations collected. It was 14 host-insects, different crops weed plants 12 states. Nine species yeast 5 host-insects with Wickerhamomyces anamalus isolated 36.4% samples highest numbers on sugarcane.

Abstract In India, despite extensive studies on multi drug resistant bacterial pathogens in humans and animals, there is a wide gap systematic surveillance farming animals to have clear vision the prevalence of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR). this cross-sectional study, total 236 samples from livestock (cattle = 128), poultry 45), swine 2) small ruminants 61)) were collected during 2019-20 Chikkaballapur district, Karnataka identify characterize multidrug particularly Staphylococcus spp. E....
