The aim of this paper is to quantify and analyze the relative impact of South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) over the global economic welfare. This research analyzes the potential economic costs and benefits of Pak-India trade in exporting various consumer goods. The first scenario is when normal trading relation with India will be restored; it means that both countries will give the MFN (M...

Water is a basic condition for existence of life on earth. Scarcity fresh water one the major sources conflict all over world because rise in global demands. In South Asia by dint its diversified topography, rivers are not restricted to particular country but flow across countries transcending national boundaries, hence creating problem sharing and became root cause social, economic political c...

Since their inception in August 1947, India and Pakistan have been witnessing a perpetual state of hatred and animosity. Although both states have made several efforts for peace-building, and as a result, have signed several peace agreements, which have not only proved short-lived, but also failed to establish longlasting and durable peace in the region. The paper argues that since India and Pa...

The severity of climatic effects a regional nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, involving the use hundred Hiroshima-scale weapons, is contested two groups; Mills et al. from National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), University Colorado, Rutgers conclude that global Nuclear Winter would occur; Reisner Los Alamos Laboratory (LANL) No occur. This paper discusses different assumptio...

The leafhopper genus Nicolaus Lindberg is recorded from India and Pakistan for the first time. Four new species, N. abuensis sp. nov., N. bidentatus sp. nov., N. cornutus sp. nov. and N. serratus sp. nov. are described and illustrated. N. bihamatus Xing & Li, earlier known from China is recorded from India and Pakistan. A key to the species of Nicolaus from the study area is provided.

Cotton leaf curl disease (CLCuD) in Pakistan and northwestern India is caused by monopartite begomoviruses in association with an essential, disease-specific satellite, Cotton leaf curl Multan betasatellite (CLCuMB). Following a recent upsurge in CLCuD problems in Sindh province (southern Pakistan), sequences of clones of CLCuMB were obtained from Sindh and Punjab province (central Pakistan), w...

BACKGROUND Although whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci complex) are an important pest of cotton in Pakistan, its taxonomic diversity is poorly understood. As DNA barcoding is an effective tool for resolving species complexes and analyzing species distributions, we used this approach to analyze genetic diversity in the B. tabaci complex and map the distribution of B. tabaci lineages in cotton growing ar...

BACKGROUND Knowledge on antimicrobial drug resistance and genetic characteristics of Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates circulating in India, Pakistan, and Bhutan is sorely lacking. In this paper, we describe the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance and molecular characteristics of N. gonorrhoeae isolates from India, Pakistan, and Bhutan in 2007-2011.
