Mycotoxins contamination of feedstuff for aquatic animals is common in regions with humid tropical conditions. In this study Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus, (11.79 ± 1.76 g) were fed with diets containing 0, 20, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800 and 1600 ppb levels of aflatoxin B1 (AFLB1) for 8 weeks. Final weight, aflatoxin B1 residue (2-week intervals), Total Hemocyte Count (THC), Total Pla...

Hemocyte migration toward infection and wound sites is an essential component of insect defense reactions, although the biochemical signal mechanisms responsible for mediating migration in insect cells are not well understood. Here we report on the outcomes of experiments designed to test the hypotheses that (1) insect hemocytes are able to detect and migrate toward a source of N-formyl-Met-Leu...

Arctium lappa L. polysaccharide (designated ALP) has been used as an immunomodulator in animals. Immunomodulation by ALP the Chinese mitten crab Eriocheir sinensis was detected after Aeromonas hydrophila treatment (1.0 × 107 colony-forming units) this study. significantly inhibited decrease total hemocyte count (THC) (P < 0.05). Twenty transcriptome libraries were constructed from hemocytes of ...

Honey bees as other insects rely on the innate immune system for protection against diseases. The innate immune system includes the circulating hemocytes (immune cells) that clear pathogens from hemolymph (blood) by phagocytosis, nodulation or encapsulation. Honey bee hemocyte numbers have been linked to hemolymph levels of vitellogenin. Vitellogenin is a multifunctional protein with immune-sup...

background: the consumption of healthy food is considered as an essential need to devoid the physical, chemical, and biological hazards. the importance of this issue is more conspicuous in places such as hospitals where people with somehow compromised immune systems are under treatment. therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the microbiological quality of food contact surfaces in a kitchen ...

This study was designed in such a way to assess the toxicity effect of 2,4D (Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) pesticide in fish physiology and its antioxidant stress. Channa striatus fish were administered with two different doses compensation of 2,4-D pesticide of 100 and 200 mg/kg. After a matter of time interval the effect of 2,4-D on fish behavior and its toxic level was determined by assessing ...
