  Abstract
  With the availability of Dipteran blood-sucking vector species, different haemosporidian parasites infect avian hosts, including domestic chickens, Gallus domesticus (order Galliformes), and cause anemia, tissue damage, weight loss, and enlargement of the spleen and liver. As these parasites are diverse and widely distributed, studies on the occurrence of these parasites are important to monitor public health issues and emerging infections. The prevalence of these parasites in chickens was studied in Singur town in the Hooghly district of West Bengal during the period from September 2022 to May 2023. Blood samples from a total of 21 chickens were collected from local meat shops, and light microscopic observation of Giemsa stained thin films was done. Out of 21 samples, 10 birds were infected with haemosporidians which presents a total prevalence of 47.6%. Three genera of Apicomplexan parasites, namely Haemoproteus, Plasmodium and Babesia were identified in the blood smear of the chicken host. Among those, Haemoproteus spp. showed the maximum prevalence of 23.8% (5/21) followed by 19.04% for Plasmodium spp. (4/21) and 9.5% (2/21) for Babesia sp. Morphological characterization of normal blood cells in chickens was done and abnormal cellular changes due to haemoprotozoa infection were also observed.

  Abstract
  Citrullus lanatus (watermelon) is a fruits consumed all over the world and it comprised of four part; Seed, Pulp/Fleshy, Rind and Peel. Its Peels and Seeds are usually discarded as waste. This study aimed at determining the in-vitro antibiogram screening of Citrullus lanatus seeds and peels some food spoilage bacterial isolate using three varieties of watermelon; Sugar Baby, Odell’s white and Sakata Seed and Peels, the Seeds and Peels were dried and phytochemical constituent extracted by aqueous solvent. The extracts were subjected to antimicrobial assay using agar well diffusion against some food spoilage bacterial isolates (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). The MIC and MBC was determined according to standard protocols. Phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of Alkaloid, Flavalonoid, Tannins and Reducing Sugar. Results of Antimicrobial Assay revealed that S.aureus and E.coli were susceptible to the extracts, with E.coli and S.aureus having 17mm and 15mm zone of inhibitionas the highest at concentration of 200mg/ml and 200mg/ml respectively. MIC and MBC results for E.coli and S. aureus were in closed range of 80mg/ml -100mg/ml respectively. The finding of this study showed that aqueous extracts of Seeds and Peels of C. lanatus contained bioactive compounds with potent antibacterial activity.

  Abstract
  The blood is the most essential component of the human body. It accounts for about 8% of a normal human`s body. The negative or positive blood groups are A, B, AB, and O (rh). A drop of blood can have an enormous impact on a person`s life. One of the other factors that can affect a person`s life is nutrition. The concept of tailoring diets to match an individual`s genetic blood group has gained attention in recent years. Proponents argue that these personalized diets can optimize health and prevent disease. This paper aims to critically evaluate the scientific evidence supporting the relationship between genetic blood groups and dietary recommendations while emphasizing the importance of evidence-based approaches to healthy eating.

  Abstract
  Since ancient times, people have used medicinal plants to eliminate human diseases. Terminalia is the second largest genus of the Combretaceae family, with 200 species. It is an important genus, all the members of this genus are used in the treatment of many diseases. Terminalia species contain various secondary metabolites, such as flavonoids, chalcones, tannins, terpenoids, anthocyanidins, lignan, sterols. Due to the widespread and extensive medicinal uses of Terminalia species in folk medicine, their pharmacological effects have been the focus of many studies. The present review was undertaken to highlight the importance of this genus and summarizes the traditional uses, chemical composition and biological effects of some Terminalia species.

  Abstract
  Study to determine the efficacy of selected botanicals on Spodoptera frugiperda (FAW) through direct contact toxicity bioassay and feeding toxicity bioassay was conducted at the demonstration site, Imo State University Owerri from March 2021 to February 2022 to establish a green technology that is effective in the control of the insect pest. Aqueous extracts from turmeric leaf, turmeric rhizome, orange leaf, orange peel, pawpaw leaf, pawpaw seed, and control treatments were investigated to evaluate their effects on Spodoptera frugiperda. In the first round of investigation, 10ppt, 5ppt, 3ppt, 1ppt, and 0.5ppt treatment concentrations were investigated. Treatments were replicated three times while data generated from field investigations were statistically analyzed. The extent of foliar damage on host crops was recorded while data was collected daily beginning from the first day after applying treatments. It is evident from this study that pawpaw seed and orange peel treatment options gave better results on FAW larval mortality and are more effective than other treatment options. This shows that they are potential sources for plant-based biopesticide in FAW control.

  Abstract
  Plants provide shelter, clothing, food, flavours and fragrances. Today more people take medicine from medicinal plant. According to World Health Organization (WHO) 80% of medicine, is produced from medicinal plants. Globally, the herbal medicines market was valued at USD 170 billion in 2022, and it will reach USD 600 billion by 2033, growing 15% annually from 2023 to 2033. Dendrobium longicornu is one of the most important medicinal plants in the world. D. longicornu belong Orchidaceae family and it is largest genera in Ochidaceae. It grows on tree trunks in mountain forests as an epiphytic orchid. Commonly D. longicornu, known as the ‘Long-horned Dendrobium. It is an important traditional medicinal plant that used various disease in Asia. Mainly D. longicornu is found in the mountainous regions of Northeast India, Bhutam, Nepal, Tibet, Myanmar, and southern China. It has many bioactive compounds such as 14 - methyl- pentadecanoic acid (6.39 %) and 8 - Methyl-6-nonenoic acid 9-Hexadecyn-1-ol, 3-Heptadecanol and Pentafluoropropionatetrans-2-dodecen-1-ol. In this paper, the main aim of the study is demonstrating the antioxident, anticancer and antibacterial activities of D. longicornu.

  Abstract
  The presence of certain chemical pollutants in environment plays an important role in altering various biological functions. Anilines are widely used in the preparation of pesticides, herbicides, plants, pharmaceuticals and dyes. The present review aims at highlighting the toxic and detrimental effects of aniline on animal model. We believe that this review will provide valuable information on toxicological profile of aniline which will further help in devising safe guidelines for the usage of aniline in a suitable manner. Aniline has shown increases the methemoglobin level in blood. A derivative of aniline, 3,4 dichloroaniline, has shown to affect the male reproductive system by increasing the frequency of structural and numerical abnormalities in sperms, decreasing sperm count and motility. In female fishes, it, decreased fecundity, caused hormonal disruption and histological changes in the ovaries. In rats, aniline hydrochloride did not show any teratogenic effect but the pregnant rats showed increased spleen weight, decreased RBC count and methemoglobinemia.

  Key-Words / Index Term
  Aniline, testes, ovaries, hormones, sperm count, reproductive output
