The antimicrobial properties of essential oils have been demonstrated by various in vitro studies, whereas their effect on poultry farm hygiene has not been thoroughly investigated, in particular with reference to aerial treatment. The present study aims to assess the antibacterial effects of natural essential oils in broiler houses. Two experimental rooms were fogged with aqueous solutions of ...

This study investigates the most common urinary tract infection bacteria and their sensitivity to antibiotics and some essential oils from Egyptian plants. The Urinary tract bacteria were sampled from patients expressing any symptoms of urinary tract infection except those taking antibiotics. The bacteria were isolated, cultured, and identified. 64 bacterial isolates were identified as E.coli (...

Diffractaic acid (DA) is a naturally occurring depside derivative found in several lichen species. It has a wide range of important biological effects such as analgesic and antiviral properties, although its cytotoxic, cytogenetic and oxidative effects have not been investigated in human blood tissue yet. Therefore, increasing concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mgL) of DA was added i...

The endogenous cannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is produced by neurons and other cells in a stimulus-dependent manner and undergoes rapid biological inactivation through transport into cells and catalytic hydrolysis. The enzymatic pathways responsible for 2-AG degradation are only partially understood. We have shown previously that overexpression of monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL), a cyt...

Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii, is a globally invasive pest of soft-skinned fruit. Females oviposit into ripening fruit and larvae cause direct destruction of tissues. As many plant essential oils are permitted food additives, they may provide a safe means of protecting fruit from D. suzukii infestation in both conventional and organic production systems. Twelve oils and potassium ...

eucalyptus globulus is an important rapid-growing trees in eucalypts that applied for agroforestry and tree improvement programs. it has been used as a source of pulp in paper industry, essential oil and honey production. asexual propagation with conventional methods such as cutting and graft wasnot possible or obtained success was very low, because of hard proliferation of adventitious roots. ...

Background and Objective: SARS COV-2 is a worldwide pandemic disease. There is currently no effective cure for this virus, but some types of herbs can be a good choice for reducing its symptoms. There are some reports that Thymus Vulgaris has a high antioxidant compounds effective in strengthening the immune system, as well as anti-virus effects to reduce the respiratory symptoms. Therefore, we...
