the present work was conducted to compare the occurrence of escherichia coli possessing virulence and esbl genes in backyard and farmed poultry. three hundred and sixty samples from the poultry kept in backyard system and 120 samples from the farmed birds were collected from west bengal, india. among the e. coli isolates of backyard poultry (o2, o10, o25, o55, o60, o106, ut), none of them posse...

I review the current status of Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and Himalayan brown bear (Ursus arctos) in India based on a questionnaire, interviews, and a literature survey. The Himalayan region and the hills of northeastern India probably support one of the largest populations of Asiatic black bear in Asia. Asiatic black bears live in forested mountain habitats (1,200-3,300 m) in the st...

The contribution of interstate pollution transport to surface carbon monoxide (CO) and black (BC) levels in different Indian states regions is studied by implementing a computationally efficient tagged tracer technique the Weather Research Forecasting model coupled with chemistry. Anthropogenic fire emissions CO BC are tracked from each state simulated concentrations used estimate state-wise pa...

The stopped-flow mixing technique was used to develop a very fast, sensitive and accurate method for determining total proteins. The method is based on the lower fluorescence of Rose Bengal caused by binding of the dye to the proteins. The decrease in the fluorescence intensity, measured at 572 nm with excitation 555 nm, was linearly related to protein concentration from 1.3 to 24.5 micrograms ...

Being a multipurpose animal goat can produce meat, milk and hide. India has a good number of Black Bengal goat populations, which has an important role in the lives of local goat rearers. The goal of the present study is to find out the effects of changing seasons on some biochemical parameters ofBlack Bengal goat (Capra aegagrushircus) in two different agro-climatic zones in India. The highest...

An analysis of 1982-Koro Epidemic in North Bengal region (West Bengal State) is done. Post-epidemic Koro incidence in this region, up to a period of three years, is also reported. Analysis reveals that North Bengal Koro epidemic was comparatively of longer duration with definite characteristic epidemic typology.

The recent first-field phase of Indian Ocean Experiment has provided various types of aerosol data over the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean. Using optical sensors on-board numerous satellites, global aerosol parameters have been estimated by many workers. In this communication, we have used IRS P4 OCM data to retrieve the aerosol parameters over the Arabian Sea and the Bay o...
