Recently, we identified bovine herpesvirus 5 (BoHV-5) in a vaginal swab from aborted cattle. It was unusual in two aspects: first, its association with abortion (it is otherwise mainly associated with encephalitis), and second, it is the first report from India (as it is mostly restricted to South American countries). In this study, we conducted the genome sequencing of the BoHV-5 isolate and provided insights into its phylogenetic relationships with other BoHV-5 strains.

Three different two dimensional Cd(II)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized by utilizing same N,N'-donor ligand and three different functionalized dicarboxylate linkers namely isophthalate, 5-nitroisophthalate and 5-hydroxyisophthalate for compound 1, 2 and 3 respectively. The compounds that are isoreticular bi-walled 2D frameworks, show dual fluorescence emission spectra for their π-π* and n-π* excitation. Compound 1 is consists of unsubstituted bridging isophthalate whereas 2 and 3 are made with bridging isophthalate that are substituted by electron withdrawing -NO2 group and electron donating -OH group respectively.

Amoebic liver abscess (ALA), a common tropical infection, is caused by (EH). For decades, the first-line treatment for ALA has been metronidazole which has several drawbacks. The thioredoxin reductase enzyme in EH is essential for its anti-oxidative defence and survival during tissue invasion.

The introduction of heterovalent metal ion doping in the lead (Pb) halide perovskites presents a novel opportunity to manipulate the electronic and ionic properties by introducing dopant charges and increasing the carrier concentration in single crystals. While previous studies have reported on the use of bismuth (Bi) doping in methylammonium lead tribromide (MAPbBr) to adjust the optical properties, the comprehensive impact of Bi doping on the structural and electronic properties of MAPbBr single crystals remains unexplored. This research, therefore, delves into the anomalous behavior of the structural, optical, and electrical properties of pristine and doped MAPbBr single crystals through a combination of experimental and computational studies.
