Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) have been widely used and are eventually been discharged into the natural aquatic ecosystem. The current study examined and correlated the toxicity of AgNPs and ZnONPs on the Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus. Lethal concentration (LC) was determined with four different concentrations (0.

The immune protein IL-6 activation is dependent on binding interactions with IL-6Rα, mIL-6R, and sIL-6R for its cellular function. Termination of these reaction could benefit for controlling the over-expression in COVID-19 patients and that may arise as inhibitors for controlling COVID-19.

Aim: Owing to its unique pathogenicity, the HPV virus can persist in the host organism for a longer duration than other viruses to complete its lifecycle. During its association with the host, HPV causes various pathological conditions affecting the immune system by evading the host's immune mechanisms, thereby leading to the progression of various diseases, including cancer.
Corona viruses are enveloped, single-stranded RNA (Ribonucleic acid) viruses, and they cause pandemic diseases having a devastating effect on both human healthcare and the global economy. To date, six corona viruses have been identified as pathogenic organisms, which are significantly responsible for the infection and cause severe respiratory diseases. Among them, the novel SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2) caused a major outbreak of coronavirus diseases in 2019 (COVID-19).

When the pathogen () vigorously attacks rice that has suffered yield losses, it can cause damage in up to 20% of the plant. Furthermore, is a seed-borne pathogen that can survive in rice seeds for an extended period.
