Genotypic analysis of Pigeon Paramyxovirus Type-1 (PPMV-1) virus, in corroboration with pathotyping, underpins the knowledge on occurrence PPMV-1 mediated Newcastle disease poultry. In present study, two isolates, namely D167 and D168, obtained from feral pigeons India year 2014 were analysed for their genotypic pathotypic characteristics. Phylogenetic Fusion (F) gene grouped D168 under sub-gen...

background; the aim of this study is to compare uv, ferrate (vi) and uv/ferrate (vi) methods for removal of hydrogen sulfide and chemical oxygen demand (cod) from municipal wastewater under a continuous condition. methods; the experiment was divided into three parts: 1) pollutants removal by using ferrate (vi) alone; 2) pollutants removal using uv alone; 3) pollutants removal using a combinatio...

A 32-year-old woman and a 50-year-old man with clinically typical Bethlem myopathy developed seemingly spontaneous keloids on their shoulder region (figure). The patients did not recall any significant trauma to the skin of this region. Bethlem myopathy (MIM #158810) is caused by dominant and recessive mutations in the collagen VI genes: COL6A1, COL6A2, and COL6A3. Skin manifestations include h...

The transcription cofactor Swi6 plays important roles in regulating vegetative growth and meiosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Functions of Swi6 ortholog were also characterized in Fusarium graminearum which is one of the devastating plant pathogenic fungi. Here, we report possible role of FgSwi6 in the interaction between F. graminearum and Fusarium graminearum virus 1 (FgV1) strain DK21. FgV1...

The polarized trafficking of membrane proteins into the leading edge of the cell is an integral requirement for cell migration. Myosin VI and its interacting protein optineurin have previously been shown to operate in anterograde trafficking pathways, especially for the polarized delivery of cargo to the basolateral domain in epithelial cells. Here we show that in migratory cells ablation of my...

For detection of chronic typhoid carriers, nested PCR targeting flagellin the gene of Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serotype Typhi was carried out on DNA extracted from hepatobiliary specimens from 424 autopsies which were apparently free from gallbladder pathology on postmortem examination. The second study population was 508 healthy volunteers, who did not suffer from typhoid fever ...

Chromium, especially chromium (VI), is the main pollutant of the tannery and electroplating industries. Cr (VI) is said to be a hazardous pollutant as it is highly toxic, mutagenic as well a carcinogen. Cr (VI) is mobile as it is soluble in nature. In our present study, indigenous bacteria that are tolerant to high concentrations of Cr (VI) were isolated from chromium contaminated electroplatin...

BACKGROUND Lysosomal storage diseases are characterized by intracellular accumulation of metabolites within lysosomes. Recent evidence suggests that lysosomal storage impairs autophagy resulting in accumulation of polyubiquitinated proteins and dysfunctional mitochondria, ultimately leading to apoptosis. We studied the relationship between lysosome storage and impairment of different intracellu...
