Early detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is critical to TB elimination in the current WHO vision of End Tuberculosis Strategy. The study investigates whether detecting plasma cytokines could aid in diagnosing LTBI across household contacts (HHCs) positive for IGRA, HHCs negative for IGRA, and healthy controls. The plasma cytokines were measured using a commercial Bio-Plex Pro Human Cytokine 17-plex assay.

Methods: We investigated whether detecting plasma cytokines could aid in diagnosing LTBI across household contacts (HHCs) positive for IGRA, HHCs negative for IGRA, and healthy controls. We also measured the plasma cytokines using a commercial assay.
Article Synopsis
- Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were eco-friendly synthesized using leaf extracts from both disease-susceptible red amaranthus and disease-resistant green genotypes, and were characterized using various scientific techniques.
- The nanoparticles showed effectiveness in inhibiting the mycelial growth of a specific plant pathogen at concentrations of 500 and 750 ppm, with notable differences in lesion development after treatment.
- Results indicated that AgNPs synthesized from disease-resistant amaranthus significantly reduced the incidence of leaf blight disease in susceptible plants, marking the first report on enhanced pathogen suppression using biogenically synthesized metal nanoparticles from disease-resistant plants.
