Summary Objective To develop a single‐step multiplex PCR to differentiate the aquatic stages of Aedes aegypti , albopictus and vittatus collected from different breeding spots in arbovirus endemic/epidemic areas detect most abundant species by PCR. Methods Aquatic mosquito were sampled inspecting artificial natural sites domestic peridomestic areas. DNA was isolated three species. Using novel primers based on 18S rDNA sequence, developed clearly distinguish It then evaluated Results A total...
Abstract Objective To identify the Anopheles culicifacies sibling species complex and study their vectorial role in malaria endemic regions of Odisha. Methods Mosquitoes were collected from 6 districts using standard entomological collection methods. An. identified by multiplex polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) cytochrome oxidase subunit II COII region mitochondrial DNA . Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) sporozoite rate human blood fed percentage HBF estimated Pf‐ human‐specific primers....
Inter-alpha inhibitor proteins (IAIPs) are naturally occurring immunomodulatory molecules found in most tissues. We have reported ontogenic changes the expression of IAIPs brain during development sheep and abundant fetal neonatal rodent a variety cellular types regions. Although few studies identified bikunin, light chain IAIPs, adult human brain, presence complete endogenous IAIP protein complex has not been brain. In this study, we examined immunohistochemical cerebral cortex from early...
Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental morbidities in preterm and full-term infants. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction represents an important component perinatal hypoxic-ischemic injury. The extracellular matrix (ECM) vital the blood-brain barrier. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) are ECM components. They contribute to development, maintenance, regenerative repair processes after We hypothesized that ischemia at different durations...
