Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines) is a chief plant–parasitic of soybean. Application synthetic chemical nematicides poses negative side effects to human health and the environment. Therefore, search for safe effective approach more relevant. This study evaluated Genistein Daidzein on physiological index soybean nematodes, individual morphology, reversal frequency, respiration, bo...

Host recognition is crucial during the phoretic stage of nematodes because it facilitates their association with hosts. However, limited information is available on the direct cues used for host recognition and host specificity in nematodes. Caenorhabditis japonica forms an intimate association with the burrower bug Parastrachia japonensis. Caenorhabditis japonica dauer larvae (DL), the phoreti...

Length of paired clavicles of northwest Indians of Chandigarh zone was measured in 748 male and 252 female adults (18 to 90 years), 45 male and 30 female children and adolescents (11⁄2 to 17 years), 13 male and 12 female newborns (> 300 mm CR length) and 28 male and 24 female fetuses (32 to 299 mm CR length). In children and adults, the left bone was longer than the right. In fetuses and newbor...

The aim of this study was to find out the relationship between selected anthropometric and physiological variables of college level female long jumpers and sprinters. Fifteen female sprinters and fifteen female long jumpers of Post Graduate Government college sector-11 Chandigarh were tested. The range of age for all female sportspersons lies from 20 to 25 years. The selected anthropometric mea...

A female with encephalitis died 29 days after hospitalization. Histological examination of the brain revealed several nematodes, mostly larva, although a later stage larva/early adult worm was found and was morphologically consistent as being in the genus Halicephalobus. Halicephalobus specific and cephalob nematode specific PCR assays were performed on DNA extracted from unfixed frozen tissues...
