A First Record on Microplastic Ingestion by Tropical Estuarine Copepods of Bangladesh.

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is a profound problem around the world yet it's study on the effect on zooplankton including copepods are very limited. The study was conducted between January 2021 and January 2022 in the Lower Meghna Estuary to investigate MPs ingestion in two different family of copepod: Calanoid and Cyclopoid. A method of acid digestion along with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to identify MPs ingested by copepods from the conducted area.

Retrospective analysis of Vibrio spp. isolated from marketed crustaceans using multilocus sequence analysis.

The genus includes bacteria with different morphological and metabolic characteristics responsible for different human and animal diseases. An accurate identification is essential to assess the risks in regard to aquatic organisms and consequently to public health. The Multilocus Sequence Analysis (MLSA) scheme developed on the basis of 4 housekeeping genes (B, H, A and A) was applied to identify 92 strains isolated from crustaceans in 2011.

Community Structure and Functional Annotations of the Skin Microbiome in Healthy and Diseased Catfish, .

The skin mucosa of fish serves as a primary barrier against pathogens. In lesion sites in diseased fish, the mucosal barrier is expected to be compromised, with a substantial presence of potential pathogens. An understanding of the skin microbiome and its functional repertoire would provide important insights into host-microbe interactions, which has important implications for prophylactic measures in aquaculture.

Molecular identification and antibiotic resistance patterns of diverse bacteria associated with shrimp PL nurseries of Bangladesh: suspecting as future threat.

Shrimp aquaculture has been accomplished with breeding and nursing of shrimp in an artificial environment to fulfill the increasing demand of shrimp consumption worldwide. However, the microbial diseases appear as a serious problem in this industry. The study was designed to identify the diverse bacteria from shrimp PL (post-larvae) nurseries and to profile antibiotic resistance patterns.

Frequent contiguous pattern mining over biological sequences of protein misfolded diseases.

Background: Proteins are integral part of all living beings, which are building blocks of many amino acids. To be functionally active, amino acids chain folds up in a complex way to give each protein a unique 3D shape, where a minor error may cause misfolded structure. Genetic disorder diseases i.

Molecular identification of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) and associated risk factors for white spot disease (WSD) prevalence in shrimp (Penaeus monodon) aquaculture in Bangladesh.

White spot disease has caused significant economic losses in the shrimp farming industry of Bangladesh over the last two decades. The responsible virus, WSSV, may show severe disease with significant mortality depending on farm management and environmental and seasonal changes. Data on farm management and environmental parameters were collected from the southwest region of Bangladesh in 2018, and WSSV infection was confirmed by the species-specific gene VP28 using conventional PCR, real-time PCR and sequencing.

Genomic and evolutionary features of two AHPND positive Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from shrimp (Penaeus monodon) of south-west Bangladesh.

Background: Due to its rapid lethal effect in the early development stage of shrimp, acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) has been causing great economic losses, since its first outbreak in southeast China in 2009. Vibrio parahaemolyticus, carrying the pirA and pirB toxin genes is known to cause AHPND in shrimp. The overall objective of this study was to sequence the whole genome of AHPND positive V.

Molecular Typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus Strains Isolated from Mollusks in the North Adriatic Sea.

Background: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an emerging foodborne pathogen in the Mediterranean, usually associated with shellfish consumption. The increase in the number of outbreaks in Europe is primarily associated with the global warming of the ocean that has a great impact on the spread and genetic selection of waterborne pathogens. The primary role of Italy in Europe's mollusk production, together with the fact that cases of infections with V.

Vibrio trends in the ecology of the Venice lagoon.

Vibrio is a very diverse genus that is responsible for different human and animal diseases. The accurate identification of Vibrio at the species level is important to assess the risks related to public health and diseases caused by aquatic organisms. The ecology of Vibrio spp.
