Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia Following Consumption of Sauropus androgynus

Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a rare disorder affecting the small airways, alveoli and the walls of small bronchi. This form of lung injury involves inflammation and stiffening of lung areas with organized tissue. There are several known causes of BOOP, and several systemic disorders have BOOP as an associated primary pulmonary lesion. An outbreak of BOOP among young w...

'Candidatus Phytoplasma mali', 'Candidatus Phytoplasma pyri' and 'Candidatus Phytoplasma prunorum', the causal agents of apple proliferation, pear decline and European stone fruit yellows, respectively.

Apple proliferation (AP), pear decline (PD) and European stone fruit yellows (ESFY) are among the most economically important plant diseases that are caused by phytoplasmas. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that the 16S rDNA sequences of strains of each of these pathogens were identical or nearly identical. Differences between the three phytoplasmas ranged from 1.0 to 1.5% of nucleotide positions...

18 Molecular detection of Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii.cdr

Article Information Brinjal is an important vegetable crop grown worldwide. A field survey conducted during 2012 in Kerala state of South India, the little leaf disease affected brinjal plant was observed in one of the home gardens located at Nemmara (Palakkad district). The diseased and healthy samples were collected; genomic DNA was isolated and 16SrRNA gene amplified by performing nested PCR...

Aqueous fraction of Sauropus androgynus might be responsible for bronchiolitis obliterans.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) has been reported to develop following ingestion of Sauropus androgynus (SA), a leafy shrub distributed in Southeast Asia. Little is known about direct effects of SA on airway resident cells or haematopoietic cells in vitro. Identification of the SA component responsible for the development of BO would be an important key to elucidate its m...
