Morphological and molecular identification of in and its phylogenetic analysis based on ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 rDNA fragment in Kashmir valley, India.

is one of the most common round worms infecting wide range of terrestrial birds including domestic fowl. and are the species of same genus which infect other hosts predominantly aquatic birds, but show morphological similarities mainly females of these species are difficult to identify. Here, we described the morphologically distinct features of along with identification through molecular analysis using ITS1-5.

Visceral Fat and Diabetes: Associations With Liver Fibrosis in Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease.

Background: The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is increasing globally. Noninvasive methods, such as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which measures body composition, including visceral fat, are gaining interest in evaluating MASLD patients. Our study aimed to identify factors associated with significant liver fibrosis, compare noninvasive scores, and highlight the importance of visceral fat measurement using BIA.

Prevalence and seasonal dynamics of gastrointestinal nematodes of domestic fowls () in Kashmir, India.

Objective: The current study was undertaken to evaluate the seasonal dependency and prevalence of gastrointestinal roundworms (nematodes) infecting domestic fowls () in Kashmir.

Materials And Methods: From August 2017 through July 2019, the investigation was undertaken during each of the four seasons. We tested 400 guts obtained from varied places around the Kashmir valley for nematode infestation.

Mineral oil residues in soil and apple under temperate conditions of Kashmir, India.

The study was undertaken to ascertain the persistence of Orchol-13, a mineral oil used against insect pests of horticultural fruit crops in soil and apple following the dormant and summer applications of 2 and 0.75% respectively. Soil samples were collected during dormant, while as both soil and apple samples were collected during summer season.
