Scrub typhus has been previously reported from north and eastern Indian states and areas such as Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, and Darjeeling district of West Bengal. It has also been known to be endemic in some parts of South India (Eastern and Western Ghats). However, no cases have ever been reported from the southern districts of West Bengal. Here, we report five cases of scrub t...

BACKGROUND Esophageal cancer is one of the world's top ten cancers. Its incidence, especially in the form of squamous cell carcinoma, is very high in some Asian regions including Kashmir. Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh are three provinces of Jammu and Kashmir, the northern most state of India. The three regions represent ethnically diverse socio-cultural populations with different incidences of esoph...

OBJECTIVES The aim of our investigation was to detect mutation or genetic polymorphisms in MGMT gene of esophageal cancer patients from Kashmir Valley (India). METHODOLOGY The genetic polymorphisms or mutations in the coding exons 2, 3, 4 and 5 of MGMT gene were searched for in DNA samples from the frozen tumor tissues of 30 esophageal cancer patients from Kashmir. The PCR products were seque...

BACKGROUND Echinococcosis is a human and animal health problem in many endemic areas worldwide. There are numerous reports and hospital-based studies from Kashmir, North India, yet there has been no epidemiological study conducted in Kashmir, the apparently endemic area for human hydatidosis. This study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of hydatid infection in Kashmir Valley and to f...

Pseudomonas sp. strain JMM was isolated from the sediments of a natural water reservoir (pH, 6 to 7) located at Chambyal village in Samba district of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Here we report the annotated draft genome sequence of strain JMM having 52 contigs with 5,884 genes and an average G+C content of 66.5%.

-The Mesozoic to Eocene sedimentary succession of Hazara Basin dominated by carbonates is characterized by a distinct package of sediments punctuated by a number of diastems, hiatus and unconformities. The Hazara Basin evolved in Hettangian with the development of lagoonal to upper shoreface conditions on the northern margin of northward flying India. It was followed by a thick pile of middle J...
