Objective: Channidae family, are major freshwater fish species amongst the local aquatic fauna of Pakistan, while, there is limited availability of local data on their molecular identification and phylogenetic analysis.
Methods: Channa species were collected from four different geographical sites in the tertiary of Punjab province on the Indus and Chenab rivers of Pakistan. Morphometric records and molecular techniques were used to determine the intraspecific variations among populations of Channa marulius.
Aeromonas hydrophila is one of the major pathogenic bacteria responsible for causing severe outbreaks at fish farms and is also a major global public health concern. This bacterium harbors many virulence genes. The current study was designed to evaluate the antidrug and virulence potential of A.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance (ABR) genes of and establish its antibiotic susceptibility. Thus, 540 fish (299 , 138 , and 103 ) were collected randomly from twelve fish farms in three districts of Punjab in Pakistan.

The diversity in cancer incidence and the failure of therapy due to chemoresistance lead to increased cancer-related deaths. Therefore, new drugs with fewer secondary complications targeting diverse pathways are the need of the hour.

The parasite alters the signaling cascade in host macrophages and evades the host machinery. Small G-proteins are GTPases, grouped in 5 different families that play a crucial role in the regulation of cell proliferation, cell survival, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, and transport.
