Exitianus Ball, 1929 is studied from Tando Jam, Pakistan. Two species, Exitianus indicus (Distant, 1908) and Exitianus nanus (Distant, 1908), are reviewed and their characters, habitus, and line drawing are given.

The systematic status of the gonad-infecting Philometra species previously reported as P. lateolabracis (Yamaguti, 1935) from marine fishes in the Mediterranean region and off New Caledonia is evaluated with respect to the recent redescription of P. lateolabracis from the type host in Japan. Philometra jordanoi (López-Neyra, 1951) is revalidated to accommodate the nematodes from Epinephelus mar...

Phallocaecilius indicus sp. nov., from the Southern Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu and Kerala, India, is here described illustrated. This third known species in genus, which reported Indian subcontinent for first time.

Sensory structure on the labial surface of five genera of Pentatomidae (Hemiptera: Heteroptera) belonging to two subfamilies i.e. Asopinae and Pentatominae have been studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Three representatives of the subfamily Pentatominae (phytophagous)-Dolycoris indicus (Stal), Plautia crossota (Dallas) and Piezodorus hybneri (Gmelin) and two of Asopinae (predatory)-Peri...

In order to clarify the origin and genetic diversity of cattle in North Eastern Asia, this study examined mitochondrial displacement loop sequence variation and frequencies of Bos taurus and Bos indicus Y chromosome haplotypes in Japanese, Mongolian, and Korean native cattle. In mitochondrial analyses, 20% of Mongolian cattle carried B. indicus mitochondrial haplotypes, but Japanese and Korean ...

ABSTRACT: Cytological review of 59 aeshnid species and cytogenetic investigations on Anax ephippiger, immaculifrons, indicus, nigrofasciatus nigrolineatus, parthenope, Gynacantha subinterrupta the family Aeshnidae by carbol fuchsin staining C - banding have been under taken. All posses 2n = 27m with X0 XX sex determination except ephippiger 14 + neo XY, resulted 13 simultaneous fusions among au...

Two new species in the order Mucorales, Mucor velutinosus and Mucor ellipsoideus, isolated from human clinical specimens in the USA, are described and illustrated. The former species is similar to Mucor ramosissimus, from which it can be differentiated by its ability to grow at 37°C and produce verrucose sporangiospores. Mucor ellipsoideus is also able to grow and sporulate at 37°C like M. indi...

The larvicidal activities to determine the efficacies of acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol dried leaf extracts of Annona squamosa, Cynodon dactylon, Melia azedarach and root extract of Hemidesmus indicus tested against 3 instar Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti. The highest larvae mortality was found in the acetone followed by ethyl acetate, chloroform and butanol extract of...

Objective: To analyse the antidiarrhoeal activity of Hemidesmatus indicus (L) R. Br root aqueous (HIRAE) and ethanolic (HIREE) extracts. Methods: HIRAE and HIREE at the dose of 100 and 200mg/kg bw was used to assess antidiarrheal activity in albino rats. Antidiarrheal activity was studied with reference to castor oil diarrhea for assessing faecal score, intestinal transit and enteropooling and ...

To support the inefficient limitation of long-term biosystem by well-known simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), electron beam irradiated rice straw (at 80 kGy, 1 MeV, and 0.12 mA) was fermented using fungal-based simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (FBSSF) by saprophytic zygomycetes Mucor indicus. Based on the growth optimization (by response surface methodology), th...
