Rice crop is highly vulnerable at all stages of growth to different pathogens that affect the quality and quantity its yield. Among diseases, Bacterial blight rice (Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae), a deadly bacterial disease among most destructive affliction cultivated (Oryza sativa O. glaberrima). In severe epidemics, loss may be as high 75 percent, millions hectares are infected annually. Biol...

Antibiotics can cure diseases caused by bacterial infections, but their widespread use have some side effects, such as probiotic reduction. There is an urgent need for agents that...

   Stability of bacterial flora in fish intestine is very important, because the intestine is an important organ for outbreak of microbial infections and other fish diseases especially when the fish have not been vaccinated. The aim of this study was to determine the bacterial flora of intestine in sturgeon juvenile in earthen ponds. The results can be applied to prevent the diseases occurren...

for investination of causes of silkworm mortality, the sick larva specimens in different levels of growth examined for parasite, viral,fungal and bacterial diseases. the samples included some dead larva and bed materials contained eggs, leaves and stool which were examined ordinary diagnostic methods. the complementary tests were also used for all cases. in wet smear prepared from intestine wal...

Background: Today, several vaccines have been developed to prevent infectious diseases. The older first-generation vaccines may have many problems. In this regard, genetic engineering plays an important role using tools such as shuttle vectors to develop recombinant DNA vaccines that usually include plasmid constructed so that can propagate in two different host species. The present study revie...

background: the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases and the resistance of mosquitoes to conventional pesticides have recently caused a panic to the authorities in the endemic countries. this study was conducted to identify native larvicidal biopesticides against culex pipiens for utilization in the battle against mosquito-borne diseases. methods: larvicidal activities of new indigenous bacillu...

The introduction of antibiotics into clinical practice in the 1950s led to the presumption that bacterial infectious diseases would become a ‘thing of the past’. While antibiotics have resulted in major decreases in morbidity and mortality in the subsequent decades, the global burden of infectious diseases remains one of the largest challenges facing the international biomedical community. Bact...
