Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify dipteran larvae species found in sheep at SRRC, Mannavanur, using COI gene-based PCR techniques.
  • In May 2021, the larvae were discovered in the nasal sinuses of an Avikalin male sheep during a post mortem examination, and genomic DNA was isolated for analysis.
  • The research confirmed that the larvae from South India belonged to the same species as those in Spain, with significant genetic similarities to other regional isolates, further categorizing them within the Oestrinae subfamily.

The hydrated sodium salt of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinedithiocarbamate ( has been successfully synthesized and characterized using IR, NMR, and X-ray single crystal analysis. The υC-S and thioureide υC-N bands appeared at 1484 cm and 968 cm, respectively, in Na(H2O)(thqdtc) • HO. The notable NCS carbon signal emerged at 212 ppm, credited to unique nitrogen and sulfur-induced deshielding effects.

Purpose: Tape worm infection is common among sheep at SRRC, Mannavanur, Palani hills, Tamil Nadu, India. The aim of the present study is to find out the cestode species infecting the sheep being maintained at SRRC, Mannavanur, by means of molecular method.

Methods: During the second week of June 2021, the hogget flock of sheep (comprising both Bharat Merino and Avikalin sheep breeds) was drenched on empty stomach with commercial preparation of anthelmintic drug containing Niclosamide plus Albendazole, as per the standard dose specified by the manufacturer (Niclozole™: each 5 ml contains 500 mg of Niclosamide and 150 mg of Albendazole: dose for sheep-10 ml/15 kg body weight).

The present study was undertaken to identify the microRNAs (miRNAs) expressed in the mammary tissue of a bubaline heifer. Small RNAs were isolated from the mammary gland tissue and enriched for miRNA fraction. The linker-ligated small RNAs were reverse transcribed to synthesize cDNA and amplified by PCR.

5-HT receptors are the most recently discovered serotonergic receptors, for which numerous physiological implications in the central and the peripheral nervous systems as well as the endocrine system are described. A current public health challenge is to propose new and more efficient treatments against neuropsychiatric disorders such as epilepsy or Alzheimer's disease. In this context, 5-HT receptors represent an interesting target for the treatment and prevention of those pathologies, as an alternative or in association with other medicines.
