Objectives: Malaria is a significant global health challenge, particularly in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, necessitating immediate investigation into innovative and efficacious treatments. This work involves the development of pyrazole substituted 1,3,5-triazine derivatives as antimalarial agent.

Methods: In this study, ten compounds 7(a-j) were synthesized by using nucleophilic substitution reaction, screened for in silico study and their antimalarial activity were evaluated against 3D7 (chloroquine-sensitive) strain of P.

Background And Purpose: Onychomycosis caused by dematiaceous fungi is rarely reported and the identification is also quite tricky due to poor sporulation. Recent emergence of dematiaceous fungi as a major cause of onychomycosis is a matter of concern in the field of mycology. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the dematiaceous fungi as a possible cause of onychomycosis, especially among agricultural workers.

Background And Purpose: Pestalotioid fungi are ubiquitous environmental molds that have received considerable attention in recent times not only because of their role as a plant pathogen but also owing to their high frequency of retrieval from human diseases. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to investigate onychomycosis caused by pestalotioid fungi, commonly considered important phytopathogens causing grey blight disease in .

Materials And Methods: A total of 122 agriculture workers were enrolled from Assam, India.

Worldwide, 50% of soil is acidic, which induces aluminium (Al) toxicity in plants, as the phyto-availability of Al increases in acidic soil. Plants responds to Al toxicity by exuding organic acids into the rhizosphere. The organic acid responsible for Al stress response varies from species to species, which in the case of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.
