Role of Molecular Diagnosis in Imported Cutaneous Leishmaniasis and Its Public Health Significance in India.

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a significant public health concern that affects many countries. This disease is caused by the protozoan parasite spp. and is transmitted through the sandflies from the genus and .

A cross-stack methodology for developing an intelligent vaccination reminder system for children.

The Smart Vaccination System introduces a vaccine reminder framework that is SMS-based and is intended to help parents ensure that their children's vaccinations are current. Although traditional methods rely on written schedules to organize vaccination appointments, these are frequently insufficient, as busy parents may neglect critical dates. A web-based vaccine reminder application has been created to address this challenge, providing timely notifications when a child's next vaccination is due.

Biodegradation of Organophosphorus Insecticides by Bacillus Species Isolated From Soil.

This study investigates the biodegradation of methyl parathion, an organophosphate pesticide used in paddy fields. Microbial degradation transforms toxic pesticides into less harmful compounds, influenced by the microbial community in the soil. To isolate different microbial colonies, soil samples from an organophosphorus-treated groundnut field were plated on nutrient agar and MSM with 1% glucose and 0.

The Molecular Detection of Bacterial Infections of Public Health Importance in Hard Tick () Nymphs Collected from the Forest Fringes of Western Ghats in the Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra States of India.

A survey was conducted to determine the human tick-borne bacterial infections in the nymphs which were collected from Western Ghats' fringe forest areas. Tick nymphs were collected using the flagging method from the villages where cases Kyasanur Forest Disease (KFD) were previously reported in the states of Goa, Karnataka and Maharashtra. A total of 200 tick pools consisting of 4587 nymphs were tested by PCR for the detection of bacteria of public health importance, such as and spp.

Atorvastatin attenuates NS1 (Non-structural protein-1) of dengue type-2 serotype-induced expressions of matrix metalloproteinases in HL-60 cells, differentiated to neutrophils: Implications for the immunopathogenesis of dengue viral disease.

Background: The dengue is a vector borne viral infection in humans. Bite of mosquito infected with a dengue virus transmits the disease. The neutrophils support more to the innate immune response by switching to infected tissues and triggering immunomodulatory mechanisms including the release of proteases and host defence peptides.
