Large scale mortality in cultured Nile tilapia (): natural co-infection with and .

Background: Nile tilapia is a highly valuable fish in the aquaculture sector. A culture farm has reported heavy mortalities of tilapia.

Aims: The present study aimed to identify the etiological agent responsible for the heavy mortality in cage cultured tilapia.

Novel Cinnamaldehyde Derivatives Inhibit Peripheral Nerve Degeneration by Targeting Schwann Cells.

Peripheral nerve degeneration (PND) is a preparative process for peripheral nerve regeneration and is regulated by Schwann cells, a unique glial cell in the peripheral nervous system. Dysregulated PND induces irreversible peripheral neurodegenerative diseases (e.g.

A Green Chemical Approach for Iodination of Pyrimidine Derivatives by Mechanical Grinding under Solvent-Free Conditions.

The iodination of pyrimidines is usually carried out by using toxic reagents under acidic conditions, such as with sulfuric acid and nitric acid. To avoid toxic reagents, we developed a simple and eco-friendly approach for the iodination of pyrimidine derivatives under solvent-free conditions using solid iodine and AgNO as an electrophilic iodinating reagent. The advantages of this method are the relatively short reaction time (20-30 min), simple set-up procedure, high yields (70-98%), and environmentally friendly reaction conditions.

Characteristics and comparative clinical outcomes of prisoner versus non-prisoner populations hospitalized with COVID-19.

Prisons in the United States have become a hotbed for spreading COVID-19 among incarcerated individuals. COVID-19 cases among prisoners are on the rise, with more than 143,000 confirmed cases to date. However, there is paucity of data addressing clinical outcomes and mortality in prisoners hospitalized with COVID-19.

Isolation, characterization and genomic analysis of vB-AhyM-AP1, a lytic bacteriophage infecting Aeromonas hydrophila.

Aims: Aeromonas hydrophila is a zoonotic pathogen displaying resistance to multiple antibiotics. Here, we aim to develop a candidate biocontrol agent against A. hydrophila.
