Article Synopsis
  • Infectious intestinal protozoan pathogens significantly contribute to health issues globally, particularly affecting children in low- and middle-income countries due to their underdeveloped immune systems and undernutrition.
  • * The severity of symptoms in infected children can range from no symptoms to life-threatening conditions, influenced by various factors like nutritional status, immune response, and gut microbiome composition.
  • * Damage to intestinal cells by these parasites can hinder nutrient absorption, leading to long-term consequences such as stunted growth and reduced cognitive development; existing treatments may also adversely affect gut health.

Alternative eco-friendly and sustainable construction methods are being developed to address growing infrastructure demands, which is a promising field of study. The development of substitute concrete binders is required to alleviate the environmental consequences of Portland cement. Geopolymers are very promising low-carbon, cement-free composite materials with superior mechanical and serviceability properties, compared to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based construction materials.

Mucosal immunity plays a critical role in the protection of teleost fish against infection, but mucosal immunoglobulin of important aquaculture species unique to Southeast Asia remained greatly understudied. In this study, the sequence of immunoglobulin T (IgT) from Asian sea bass (ASB) is described for the first time. IgT of ASB possesses the characteristic structure of immunoglobulin with a variable heavy chain and four CH4 domains.
