Anabas testudineus (2n = 46) had the more conserved pattern of its C-heterochromatin distributed mainly in the centromeric region, whereas Puntius sarana (2n = 50) exhibited a rather unorthodox pattern, many chromosomes showing interstitial, some telomeric and a few chromosomes showing centromeric C-band localization. Further, lateral asymmetry in distribution of heterochromatin was also noted ...

The medium-sized barbs (< 115 mm SL) hitherto referred to Puntius filamentosus (Valenciennes, 1844) in southern India and Sri Lanka are among the most common cyprinids in the lowland rivers and reservoirs of these areas. They form an important part of the local food and ornamental fishery (Pethiyagoda, 1991; Talwar & Jhingran, 1991), and are easily recognised by the elongated, filament-like ext...

This study describes the length-weight (LWR) and length-length (LLR) relationships of four cyprinid important small indigenous fish species (SIS) from the Padma River, Bangladesh. A total of 914 specimens were caught by traditional fishing gear from March 2006 to February 2007. Length (cm) and body weight (g) for each specimen was taken by a digital slide caliper and balance, respectively. The ...

Characterization of the helminth parasites of wild fish has a considerable importance from the point of view of hygiene and public health, as well as from its taxonomic interest. To study the pathogenecity of parasites in the field of fisheries, require detail knowledge of the parasites inhabiting localities involved. Present study aimed to investigate the intestinal nematodes from the Puntius ...

Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) is the most ubiquitous virus in cereals causing huge losses in both Hungary and Ukraine. The presence of barley-and wheat-adapted strains has been confirmed, suggesting that the barley strain is restricted to barley, while the wheat strain is present in both wheat and barley plants. Five WDV isolates from wheat plants sampled in Hungary and Ukraine were sequenced and com...

Genetic and morphologic variation, haplotype relationships, and structuring of populations within Puntius denisonii and its close related species Puntius chalakkudiensis have been tested using molecular and biometric data, to infer phylogeographic patterns. Sequences of mitochondrial DNA ATPase 8 and 6 genes, and morphometric data, were used to find population structuring. Specimens were collec...

On13–14, June 2011, at the R.E. Kavetsky Institute of Experimental Pathology, Oncology and Radiobiology of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine the first Ukrainian-Swedish Workshop “New approaches to diagnostics and treatment of cancer” was held. Karolinska Institutet (Sweden) and Odesa National Medical University were the co-organizers of the Workshop. The Director of the R.E. Kavetsky Inst...
