The susceptibility of Macrobrachium idella, M. lamerrae and M. rosenbergii to white spot Ž . syndrome virus WSSV was tested by immersion challenge, oral route and intramuscular injection. Their susceptibility to WSSV was compared with that of Penaeus indicus and P. monodon. The WSSV caused 43.3% and 53.3% mortality in M. lamerrae and M. idella, respectively, by immersion method and 53.3% and 66...

this study was conducted to investigation and determine of cadmium (cd) concentration in the liver of platycephalus indicus (flathead) in minab, qeshm island and khamir port (persian gulf). moreover, the effect of season (winter and summer) and sex (male and female) on cd concentration in flathead were investigated. cd concentration sampling was done in two station (minab, qeshm island and kham...

OBJECTIVE To observe three species of Kalicephalus found in three species of snake (Ophiophagus hannah, Ptyas mucosus, and Naja Sputatrix) during research on Capture Snake for Trading in Java and Snake Biodiversity in Kalimantan Islands. METHODS Specimens for light microscopy examination were fixed with warm 70% alcohol, cleared and mounted in lactophenol for wet mounting. Drawings were made ...

AIM: This study was conducted to study the hepatoprotective property of Hemidesmus indicus (L.) R.Br. roots. METHODS: Hepatoprotective properties of the methanol extract of the roots of H. indicus var. pubescens were evaluated on paracetamol induced hepatotoxicity. Hepatotoxicity was induced in albino Wistar rats by the administration of paracetamol (1g/kg), p.o. for 7 days. Methanol extract of...

A new species of spider crab, Sunipea callistus, n. sp., from Cape Guardafui, Somali Republic, is described and illustrated. Sunipea indicus (Alcock, 1895) is also redescribed and figured. Sunipea callistus n. sp. differs from S. indicus in the structures of the carapace, third maxillipeds, thoracic sternum, male abdomen, and chelipeds. Despite a number of characteristics that separate both spe...

The present investigation was aimed to study the antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and in vivo antioxidant properties of the root of Sphaeranthus indicus Linn. in streptozotocin- (STZ-) induced type 1 diabetic rats. Administration of ethanolic extract of Sphaeranthus indicus root (EESIR) 100 and 200 mg/kg to the STZ-induced diabetic rats showed significant (P < .01) reduction in blood glucose a...

this study was conducted to estimating the amount of non-standard sizes (with lengths less than lm50) fishes of shrimp trawls in the hormozgan province coastal water during shrimp fishing season. sampling was carried out using the tabas otriger commercial trawler during 55 hauls. eight commercially valuable species including pampus argenteus, parastromateus niger, plicofollis dussumieri, saurid...

Greater than half of the cattle in the world are managed in tropical environments, while approximately 40% of beef cows in the United States are located in subtropical areas. Furthermore, approximately 80% of global beef production is Bos indicus based. Given this, Bos indicus germplasm plays a critical role in both US and worldwide beef production particularly when used as part of a well-struc...

Many scientists have worked out on the host-parasite relatiosship. The cestode parasites were attached mostly in the stomach and duodenal mucosa. Heavy infection with this cestode parasites caused inflammation, congestion(Khadap,2009). Lytocestus indicus is a caryophyllaeid cestode of fresh water fishes. During the present study on the helminth parasites of the fresh water fishes of Warangal, C...

Our objective was to estimate Bos primigenius taurus introgression in American Zebu cattle. One hundred and four American Zebu (Nellore) cattle were submitted to mtDNA, microsatellite and satellite analysis. Twenty-three alleles were detected in microsatellite analysis, averaging 4.6 ± 1.82/locus. Variance component comparisons of microsatellite allele sizes allowed the construction of tw...
