ETHNOVETERINARY PRACTICES AND ETHNOBOTANICAL KNOWLEDGE ON PLANTS USED AGAINST CATTLE DISEASES AMONG TWO COMMUNITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA

Ethnoveterinary Practices and Ethnobotanical Knowledge on Plants Used against Cattle Diseases among Two Communities in South Africa

Ethnoveterinary practices and ethnobotanical knowledge serve as potential therapeutic approaches used to manage and prevent cattle diseases within poor communities in developing nations.Most of the knowledge and practices remain inadequately documented and threatened with extinction in the future.This study aimed to explore the ethnoveterinary prac

Profiling extracellular vesicle release by the filarial nematode Brugia malayi reveals sex-specific differences in cargo and a sensitivity to ivermectin.

The filarial nematode Brugia malayi is an etiological agent of Lymphatic Filariasis.The capability of B.malayi and other parasitic nematodes to modulate host biology is recognized but the mechanisms by which such manipulation occurs are obscure.An emerging paradigm is the release of parasite-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) containing bioactive

Prenatal exposure to dietary fat induces changes in the transcriptional factors, TEF and YAP, which may stimulate differentiation of peptide neurons in rat hypothalamus.

Gestational exposure to a high-fat diet (HFD) stimulates the differentiation of orexigenic peptide-expressing neurons in the hypothalamus of offspring.To examine possible mechanisms that mediate this phenomenon, this study investigated the transcriptional factor, transcription enhancer factor-1 (TEF), and co-activator, Yes-associated protein (YAP),

Retinal pigment epithelial atrophy following indocyanine green dye-assisted surgery for serous macular detachment

To report subretinal migration of indocyanine green dye (ICG) and subsequent retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) atrophy during macular surgery for serous macular detachment.A 65-year-old woman presented with residual epiretinal membrane and serous detachment of the macula following vitreoretinal surgery for epiretinal membrane.She underwent resurgery
