Synergistic Effects of Vermicompost and Biochar Amendments on Soil Fertility and Wheat Productivity in Bangladesh Floodplain Soils.

Biochar is gaining importance due to its potential to enhance soil health, crop yield, and quality. It may also promote more sustainable farming methods. This study evaluated the combined effects of biochar, vermicompost, and inorganic fertilizers on soil characteristics, growth, and yield in wheat.

Comparative analysis of high-fat diets: Effects of mutton, beef, and vegetable fats on body weight, biochemical profiles, and liver histology in mice.

Background: High-fat diets are associated with metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, and liver disorders. Beef and mutton, both widely consumed meats, are significant sources of animal fat, while soybean oil, a commonly used cooking oil, is a prominent source of plant-derived fat. This study aimed to compare the effects of regular consumption of beef fat, mutton fat, and soybean oil in mice to assess potential health risks.

Circulation of the reassorted very virulent genotype of infectious bursal disease virus isolated from vaccinated broiler chickens in Bangladesh.

Objective: The methodology employed in this research was designed to identify and characterize the infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) at the molecular level, originating from recent outbreaks in Bangladesh.

Materials And Methods: The IBDV outbreak farm was investigated, and bursa of fabricius (BF) specimens were acquired from infected chickens. Initially, viruses in the processed samples were detected in chicken embryo fibroblast (CEF) cells, and the RT-PCR method was used to confirm IBDV.

Multidrug-resistant keratinolytic dermatophytes and non-dermatophytes causing onychomycosis in outpatients.

Aims: This study identified and determined antibiograms of keratinolytic dermatophytes (DM), non-dermatophytic molds (NDM), and yeasts causing onychomycosis.

Methods: Morphological, cultural, and biochemical characteristics were used to identify DM and NDM. The keratinolytic activity (KA) and antibiograms were conducted with keratin azure and the agar diffusion method, respectively.

A rapid and simple clonality assay for bovine leukemia virus-infected cells by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis.

Unlabelled: Enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL), although eradicated in some European countries, is still the most common neoplastic disease of cattle, caused by the bovine leukemia virus (BLV). During the progression of EBL, BLV-infected cells clonally expand, and some of which result in tumor onset. The clonality of BLV-infected cells is generally evaluated with NGS or Sanger sequencing.
