Bonamia ostreae is a protozoan, affiliated to the order Haplosporidia and to the phylum Cercozoa. This parasite is intracellular and infects haemocytes, cells notably involved in oyster defence mechanisms. Bonamiosis due to the parasite B. ostreae is a disease affecting the flat oyster, Ostrea edulis. The strategies used by protozoan parasites to circumvent host defence mechanisms remain largel...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (Satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚C for 8 hours per day). A total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (Ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). Experimental diets were a...

The present study aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic importance of oxidative stress biomarkers and acute phase proteins in urinary tract infection (UTI) in camels. We describe the clinical, bacteriological and biochemical findings in 89 camels. Blood and urine samples from diseased (n = 74) and control camels (n = 15) were submitted to laboratory investigations. The urine analys...

Background & Aim:  Ulcer index is one of the most common diseases among people. Current therapies include acid secretion inhibitors which have various side effects. Herbal medicines are considered as adjuvant therapy for this disease. Hydroalcoholic extract of Thymus daenensis has various components such as flavonoids which contribute to gastroprotection. Experimental: 35 <em...

Background: Accelerated ageing causes seeds to deteriorate that affect the seed quality of groundnut seeds. Seed deterioration will cause metabolic and chemical changes viz., lipid peroxidation autoxidation, leading loss membrane integrity enzyme activities. These are associated with reduced germination vigour. Methods: The cv. VRI 8 was subjected for accelerated at 40oC 100% RH upto 11 days ev...

Introduction: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of oral mucosa with unknown etiology.Many studies have suggested that increased oxidative stress, an imbalance in the antioxidant defense system maybe involved pathogenesis planus.Aim: The aim this study was to compare tissue levels Super oxide dismutase (SOD) and lipidperoxidation marker Malondialdehyde (MDA) established ...

Background: The current study aims to measure the effect of oxidative stress on pregnancy rates Bulgarian Murrah buffaloes during breeding and non-breeding season.&#x0D; Methods: group consisted 24 mature more than 40 days after parturition. following parameters were measured: Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) products, Ascorbate radicals, Malondialdehyde (MDA), Nitric Oxide (NO), Super Dismutase (...
