Artemia salina L.is an important model organism for the world ecosystem, which is very sensitive, easily available, allows to work in laboratory environment, used toxic effect studies, and gives safe results. This study was designed evaluate of water extract fresh underground parts some species five geophyte genera (Arum rupicola var. virescens (Stapf) P.C. Boyce, Cyclamen cilicium Boiss. &...

Haemonchosis is a serious parasitic disease which generates significant economic deficits worldwide. Alternative therapies based on herbal products have shown promising results. On this basis, Aloe vera Lynn extract stands out and was the aim to evaluate its anthelmintic potential Haemonchus contortus free life-cycle stages by in vitro assays. Results evidenced presence of alkaloids, catechins,...

Two methods were developed for the production of larval fish diets. The first method, microextrusion marumerization (MEM), has been tested in laboratory feeding trials for many years and produces particles that are palatable and water stable. The second method, particle-assisted rotational agglomeration (PARA), produced diets that have lower density than diets produced by MEM. Each method was u...

Lantana camara Linn is a family of Verbenaceae which grows wild and widespread in various both tropical sub-tropical countries. Isolation essential oil the L. leaves extracted by hydrodistillation were analyzed Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results GC-MS analysis show isocaryophyllene (14.39%), ρ-cymene (8.17 %), β-cubebene (7.8 α-pinene (7.64 β-elemene (5.51 %) as main comp...

To investigate whether mechanoreception is used in non-visual feeding in larval striped bass (Morone saxatilis), the ontogeny of superficial neuromasts along the lateral line was described using the vital stain FM1-43FX and fluorescent microscopy. The number of neuromasts visible along one flank increased from 11 at first feeding [5 to 7 days post-hatch (dph)] to >150 by the juvenile stage (27 ...

Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack, a small tropical evergreen shrub growing in Nepal, has numerous uses in traditional medicine for treatment of abdominal pain, diarrhea, stomach ache, headache, edema, thrombosis, and blood stasis. The present study investigated the chemical composition and bioactivities of the leaf essential oil from M. paniculata from Nepal. The essential oil from leaves was obtai...

This work evaluated an ethanolic extract from Morus alba leaves for toxicity to Artemia salina, oral toxicity to mice, and antimicrobial activity. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of coumarins, flavonoids, tannins, and triterpenes in the extract, which did not show toxicity to A. salina nauplii. No mortality and behavioral alterations were detected for mice treated with the extract ...
