Leukemia in India: Insights Into Incidence, Prevalence, Mortality, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the impact of leukemia and other cancers in India and to observe any changes over time.

Methodology: Detailed estimates of incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for 30 types of cancers in India were analyzed for 29 years from 1990 to 2019 as part of the Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) study. Data from all available sources were used to gather information on the overall burden of disease in India.

The role of genetics in determining resistance to coccidiosis in goats a review of current research and future directions.

Coccidiosis is a significant parasitic disease in goats, with significant impacts on animal health, productivity, and economic losses for producers. Although various management practices can help control and prevent coccidiosis, a growing body of research suggests that genetics play an important role in determining resistance to the disease. This review explores the current understanding of the genetics of coccidiosis resistance in goats, including the potential genetic factors and mechanisms involved, and the implications for breeding and selection programs.

Refutation of media reports on introduction of the red bellied piranha and potential impacts on aquatic biodiversity in India.

The presence of a new, potentially deadly exotic fish resembling the Red Bellied Piranha, was reported in India by print media from various aquatic resources. These reports raised dramatic concerns over public health issues and threats to the aquatic biodiversity of India. Considering the potential severity of the issue and concerns raised by the media, we undertook a study to evaluate the reliability of identification reports of the suspected fish, any relationships to other species of piranha and to address any possible threats to the aquatic biodiversity of India.
