Nano-PCR for the early detection of tomato leaf curl virus.

Unlabelled: Nano-PCR is a potential tool for the early detection of plant viruses. In the current study, different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (20 nm) and magnesium oxide nanoparticles (50 nm) were included in the PCR mixture to improve the sensitivity of PCR for the detection of tomato leaf curl virus. The inclusion of nanoparticles in single or combination in PCR mixture has resulted in improvement of PCR sensitivity.

Asparagus racemosus improves immune-related parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mitigates deltamethrin-induced toxicity.

Deltamethrin (DM) is one of the most toxic but widely used pyrethroid insecticides. Even though a non-target animal, fish are at high risk as they are deficient in the enzyme system that hydrolyses pyrethroids. Enhancing the immune system is a potential method in preventing fish diseases.

Influence of multi valent states of vanadium ions in ZnO doped novel calcium fluoro phosphate bio glasses.

ZnO-CaF-PO glasses doped with different concentrations of VO (ranging from 0 to 1.0 mol %) were prepared. The prepared bio glasses are soaked in SBF for duration of 2, 3, 7 and 10 days in separate plastic containers and then kept in incubator maintained at body temperature 36.

Tinospora cordifolia ameliorated titanium dioxide nanoparticle-induced toxicity via regulating oxidative stress-activated MAPK and NRF2/Keap1 signaling pathways in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

Titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TNP) has been suggested for use in fish farms to prevent or alleviate bacterial diseases owing to its bactericidal property. Unfortunately, the interaction of TNP with cells impaired the host defenses of fish resulting in increased mortality during bacterial challenges. The present study evaluated the efficacy of the ethanolic extract of Tinospora cordifolia (TCE) as a dietary supplement in ameliorating TNP induced toxicity in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
