Designing efficient recombinant mucosal vaccines against enteric diseases is still a major challenge. Mucosal delivery of recombinant vaccines requires encapsulation in potent immunostimulatory particles to induce an efficient immune response. This paper evaluates the capacity of β-glucan microparticles (GPs) as antigen vehicles and characterizes their immune-stimulatory effects. The relevant i...

In this respect, fish are reliant on passive immunostimulation from maternal antibodies, and this mechanism has been shown in tilapias (Mor et al, 1990; Sin et al 1994). In any given species, size rather than age seems to be the most critical determinant of the development of immunity. For example, in salmonids, memory-dependent immunity has been achieved for sizes > 0.26g (8 weeks of age), whe...

The use of immunostimulants is an effort to increase the immune system in fish. Agar and alginate are phycocoloid derived from seaweed which function as immunostimulants. Research data collection was carried out for 60 days at Aquaculture Toxicology Environmental Installation, Cibalagung - Bogor. container used aquarium with a size × 40 50 cm, using aeration stocking density 15 fish / aquarium....

Respiratory tract infections are one of the most common childhood illnesses, especially in pre-school children. These infections impose an enormous burden on both the healthcare system (frequent medical consultations and hospitalizations), and on society (parental absenteeism and loss of productivity). Their recurrence still poses a diagnostic challenge in pediatrics due to the difficulty in di...

Aquaculture production relies on the quality of feed and a balanced diet helps to maximize fish yield profitability. Plant based supplements in aquaculture are ideal as growth promoters immunostimulants. The present study assessed effect medicinal plant, Acalypha indica leaf feeding energetics freshwater fish, Labeo rohita. Incorporation different concentrations supplemented enhanced assimilati...
