Article Synopsis
- Nosema disease, caused by the parasite Nosema ceranae, is a major threat to honey bees, and there's a pressing need for safer treatment options since traditional drugs can be toxic and uncertain in effectiveness.
- The study explored the use of specific egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) derived from vaccinated chickens as a potential treatment for Nosema disease, demonstrating high therapeutic effectiveness in both field surveys and controlled laboratory conditions.
- Results showed that IgY significantly reduced the Nosema spore load and the number of infected bees, suggesting that chicken IgYs could serve as a promising, eco-friendly alternative to existing antifungal treatments.
In recent study, 15 taxa of family Poaceae from Dera Ghazi Khan were investigated for morphological characterization of seeds. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to study morphological features of grass seeds. Moreover, economic importance of studied taxa has been discussed in present research.
