The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Aloe vera extract (AE) on the immunity responses and hematological parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry to develop alternative drug to chemotherapeutics and antibiotics in aquaculture. 1200 rainbow trout (Oncorynchus mykiss) fry weighing 2±0.2 gram were randomly allocated into two treatment groups i...

introduction: the pagat polymer gel dosimeter melts at 30 ˚c and even at room temperature during the summer, so it needs to be kept in a cool place such as a refrigerator. to increase the stability of the pagat gel, different amounts of agarose were added to the pagat gel composition and the pagata gel was manufactured. material and methods: the pagata gel vials were irradiated using a co-60 ma...

background: melaleuca cajuputi essential oil in aerosol spray was evaluated against the dengue vectors aedes ae­gypti and ae. albopictus at low cost housing flats in section 10, setapak, kuala lumpur, malaysia. methods: essential oil in aerosol viz: 5% and 10% of concentrations were sprayed for 5 seconds each towards hung mos­quitoes in 5 cylindrical net cages. aerosol weights were recorded bef...

In this work, the backward Bayesian multiple linear regression (BBMLR) as a new approach is presented to predict the adsorption efficiency (AE) of Cd(II) ions by ostrich bone char (OBC) in the fixed bed adsorption with four operational variables consisting of pH (2-9), inlet Cd(II) concentration (Co= 25-100 mg/L), bed depth (h= 3-9 cm) and feed flow rate (Q= 0.5-30 mL/min). The performance of t...

Western blot analysis was carried out in order to evaluate new serodiagnostic markers, Em18 and Em16, for differentiation of alveolar echinococcosis (AE) from cystic echinococcosis (CE) using 36 serum samples from hydatid patients from Xinjiang, China, where AE and CE are both endemic and one double infection case has been reported. All AE cases except one (5/6) who exhibited a calcified lesion...

background: bifenthrin and acorus calamus linn extract were evaluated against dengue vectors in the laboratory. methods: both bifenthrin and acorus calamus linn crude hexane extract were bioassayed against the adults and larval stages of dengue vectors aedes aegypti l. and aedes albopictus(skuse) in the laboratory. results: the a. calamus crude hexane extract exhibited a larvicidal activity aga...

Avian encephalomyelitis (AE) was recorded in 7-day old Ross strain of broiler chickens showing clinical signs of ataxia, lateral recumbency and mild tremors. In a flock of 10,000 birds, 12% died without producing gross pathological lesions. Diagnosis of the disease was done based on virus isolation in embryonated chicken’s eggs, demonstration of hexagonal virus particles in purkinje cells of ce...

carum copticum is a grassy and annual plant which is believed to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-asthmatic properties. we have therefore studied the bronchodilatory and anticholinergic effects of 4 rnl aqueous extract (ae), 0.0 5 ml ethanol extract (ee), and 0.0 0 5 ml essential oil (eo) of carum copticum and 1 rnl of a 5 mm solution of its main ingredient, thymol (t), in compa...
