First report of MDR virulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa in apparently healthy Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) in Bangladesh.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) is a major pathogen associated conditions like septicaemia, respiratory disorders, and diarrhoea in poultry, particularly in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The infection causes huge economical losses due to its high transmissibility, mortality and zoonotic potential.

Genome-wide analysis of TCP family genes and their constitutive expression pattern analysis in the melon (Cucumis melo).

Background: TCP proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that play essential roles in various developmental processes, including leaf morphogenesis and senescence, flowering, lateral branching, hormone crosstalk, and stress responses. However, a comprehensive analysis of genome-wide TCP genes and their expression patterns in melon is yet to be done.

Objective: The present study aims to identify and analyze the TCP genes in the melon genome and understand their putative functions.

Genetic parameter analysis and evaluation of maize hybrids under local climatic condition of Mymensingh, Bangladesh.

Maize is a cornerstone of global agriculture, essential for food security, livestock feed, and industrial uses. With the increasing demand for maize due to population growth and changing dietary patterns, there is a pressing need to enhance maize production. Hybridization is a strategic approach for developing high-yielding and stress-tolerant maize varieties and evaluating these hybrids in specific environmental conditions is vital for optimizing yield and adaptability.

Leveraging Data from a Provincial Electronic Immunization Registry to Analyze Immunization Coverage, Timeliness, and Defaulters Among 8.8 Million Children from the 2018 to 2023 Birth Cohorts in Sindh Province, Pakistan.

Background/objectives: Full immunization coverage in Pakistan remains suboptimal at 66%. An in-depth assessment is needed to understand the long-term trends in immunization and identify the extent of defaulters and associated risk factors of them being left uncovered by the immunization system.

Methods: We conducted a 5-year analysis using the Government's Provincial Electronic Immunization Registry data for the 2018-2023 birth cohorts in Sindh province.
