These cells are similar to mammalian mast cells in terms of structural and functional characteristics. The cytoplasmic granules of these cells give different staining reactions depending on fixative type. This study aimed to determine the staining properties and densities of eosinophilic granular cells in Oscar fish (Astronotus ocellatus Agassiz, 1831) intestine using different fixatives and histochemical techniques. Formalin and basic lead acetate fixation-giemsa staining indicated that eosinophilic granular cells were abundant in anterior intestine, localizing around especially the blood vessels and submucosa. Giemsa staining of Bouin’s fixed rather than other fixatives showed that eosinophilic granular cells were higher in posterior intestine. No reaction was observed in eosinophilic granular cells in Thionin and Toluidine Blue staining in any fixative. Eosinophilic granular cells in samples fixed with different fixatives had metachromatic Alcian Blue staining. In conclusion, this study shows that fixatives may have different effects on the distribution and staining properties of eosinophilic granular cells in Oscar fish intestinal regions. Abundance in anterior intestine and around submucosal blood vessels shows that eosinophilic granular cells could play an active role in mucosal immunity against food-borne pathogens.","PeriodicalId":17314,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hellenic Veterinary Medical Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49292389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Herbal ectoparasiticides offer a promising alternate to chemical ectoparasiticides. The present study was designed to evaluate the ectoparasiticide efficacy of Nimboliâ (Neem: Azadirachta indica extract) in various animal species, keeping in view the objectives of One-Health. The ectoparasiticide efficacy of Nimboliâ was also compared with a commercial chemical ectoparasiticide Tagafon (Hydroxyethyl Phosporic Acid). Various animals infested with ticks, fleas, lice, flies, and maggots and presented at clinics were treated with Nimboliâ(n=36)and Tagafon (n=19). Mean time taken by each ectoparasiticide to knock-down various ectoparasites was recorded. The present study suggested significantly higher efficacy of Nimboliâ against ticks, fleas, lice, flies and maggots as compared with Tagafon. The mean time taken by Nimboli® to knockdown various ectoparasites of same and different kinds and their larvae was also less compared to the mean time taken by Tagafon. The present study indicated that Nimboliâ is an eco-friendly ectoparasiticide that is safe-to-use both for animals and their handlers, hence can replace chemical ectoparasiticides. The present study highlights the importance of herbal ectoparasiticides, especially those containing neem in the treatment and control of ectoparasites in animals. This information have special relevance for countries that have native neem trees such as Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Senegal, and Thailand. Since herbal ectoparasiticides are biodegradable, they offer an added advantage of maintaining ecological health.","PeriodicalId":17314,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hellenic Veterinary Medical Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43543583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, both of them especially Aseel are very susceptible to Avian Influenza (AI) which cause huge mortalities. The role of cytokines in relation to the pathology and severity of the disease caused by the endemic strain (H9N2) of AIV in these breeds remained thus far unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of H9N2 AIV on the expression level of IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-8 in the lung tissues of Aseel, crossbred Naked Neck, and White Leghorn (WLH). In total 60 birds, 20 from each breed, were used in this study, whereas 30 birds (10 from each breed) were challenged intranasally with H9N2 virus with a concentration of 106 EID50 at 6wk of age and other half were treated as control. The lung tissues were sampled at 5th day post-infection to study the differential expression of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 using qRT-PCR. Our data revealed a significant difference (P<0.001) in the gene expression levels among all the breeds in response to viral challenge. It was also observed that after exposure to H9N2 virus, Aseel birds showed the highest increase in their expressions of interleukin (IL-1 β, IL-6, and IL-8) genes followed by Naked Neck and WLH respectively suggesting greater susceptibility of Aseel to AIV compared with other breeds. However, these results are in agreement with the severity of disease and incidence of mortality caused by AI in these breeds.","PeriodicalId":17314,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Hellenic Veterinary Medical Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46636089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
