A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess antibiotic usage, residues, resistance and drivers of their emergence in fish aquaculture in Northern Nigeria between 2019 and 2020. A structured questionnaire was administered to 151 randomly selected farmers. Fish, column and wastewater samples were analysed with enzyme link immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for residue detection and quantification.

Article Synopsis
  • In late 2023, Oklahoma State University received over 300 chrysanthemum samples from a commercial greenhouse for testing due to symptoms resembling aster yellows disease.
  • Researchers processed 238 cultivars using a qPCR assay to detect phytoplasma, confirming 67 samples positive for the disease.
  • Subsequent sequencing and BLAST analysis further validated the presence of aster yellows phytoplasma in the affected chrysanthemum samples.
