To the Editor of "The Indian Medical Gazette." Sir,?In October 1904, cholera broke out in the villages surrounding Chanchal. The Mahomedans were only the victims of the fell disease. The persons who came back from the Pernya mela were mostly attacked and through them the disease spread in an epidemic form. The village that bore the brunt was Ranikamat, nearly half a mile south-west of the dispe...

Essential oil of Eucalyptus globulus presents several pharmacological properties. However, their therapeutic efficacy may be affected by limitations due to several conditions, rendering it difficult to obtain stable and effective pharmaceutical formulations. The use of nanotechnology is an alternative to improve their characteristics aiming to ensure their stability and effectiveness. Furthermo...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we evaluated the chemical composition of a commercial sample of essential oil from Eucalyptus smithii R.T. Baker and its antifungal activity against Microsporum canis ATCC 32903, Microsporum gypseum ATCC 14683, Trichophyton mentagrophytes ATCC 9533, T. mentagrophytes ATCC 11480, T. mentagrophytes ATCC 11481, and Trichophyton rubrum CCT 5507. METHODS Morphological c...

background the increased incidence of fungal resistance has necessitated the need to search for new antifungal agents. objective the main objectives of the present study were to investigate the effectiveness of the essential oil of eucalyptus camaldulensis on dermatophytes growth and to formulate and characterize a liposomal gel loaded with the essential oil. materials and methods the essential...

Assessing the parental genetic differences and their subsequent prediction of progeny performance is an important first step to assure the efficiency of any breeding program. In this study, we estimate the genetic divergence in Eucalyptus camaldulensis based on the morphological traits of 132 progenies grown in a savanna biome. Thus, a field experiment was performed using a randomized block des...

We report the widespread occurrence of structurally diverse oleuropeyl glucose esters, including the new diester eucaglobulin B, localized specifically to the essential oil secretory cavities of myrtaceous species. Clear taxonomic patterns in the composition of cavity extracts within the genus Eucalyptus are shown with species from subgenus Symphyomyrtus dominated by oleuropeyl glucose esters a...

endometritis is one of the major causes of infertility in mares. the present study was conducted to evaluate intrauterine infusion of eucalyptus globulus oil as treatment for mares with experimentally induced endometritis. mares (n=8) were synchronized using two injections of pgf2α (10 mg) 14 days apart. all mares were inoculated with a live culture of 5 × 106 cfu s. zooepidemicus in the dioest...

microcerotermes diversus silvestri (isoptera: termitidae) is the most economically destructive wood pest in structures in khuzestan province (iran). chemicals such as essential oils and plant extracts that are compatible with the environment and have high potential to be used in integrated pest management programs are extremely important resources. this study evaluated contact and digestive tox...
