The major objectives of the present study were to investigate heavy metal's concentration in water and sediments of the River Ganga. Water and sediments collected from different locations were analysed for Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), Lead (Pb),Nickel(Ni) and Zinc(Zn). The concentration of these heavy metals in the study area indicates that the river is highly polluted. The possible sources of these heavy metal pollutants are diverse, originated from natural or anthropogenic sources and point sources. The concentrations determined were more than the maximum admissible and desirable limit when compared with the National and International organizations like WHO, USEPA. Exposure to heavy metals has been linked to chronic and acute toxicity developing retardation, neurotoxicity, kidney damage, various cancers, liver damage, lung damage, and fragile bones and even death in instances of very high exposure.","PeriodicalId":219235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Biological Sciences","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133540598","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous Research reports have appeared in different national and international scientific journals by studying its nutritional and medicinal properties of Moringa over the past\u0000decades. Different reports show that due to its multipurpose uses. Moringa oleifera is a tree that is sometimes called a “Miracle Tree” because of all its parts are used for nutritional, pharmacological properties. Moringa is a very valuable food crop (it is highly nutritive, grows very fast and drought resistant) and even beyond food it serves many benefits in developing countries such as having an ability to be used for some crafts (due to being a tree) and cleaning water. With its high nutritive values, every part of the tree is suitable for either nutritional or commercial purposes. Moringa has antioxidants which combine with the reactive oxygen species and prevent cell damage and further consequences. In addition to vitamin C, β-carotene, and Quercetin whicxh are powerful\u0000antioxidant help lower blood pressure. Moringa seeds and leaves could be an effective and safe alternative remedy in sexual disorders. Moringa has traditionally been used to boost sexual stamina and desire and to treat male sexual disorders. In more recent times, Moringa has gained notoriety as a very nutritious plant that can feed the needy and, in fact, save lives. Moringa leaves or leaf powder can be used successfully as a suplement food to nourish small children, pregnant or nursing women, and of course, anybody else. In this paper, versatile uses and therapeutic applicabilities of Moringa oleifera have been precisely delineated.","PeriodicalId":219235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Biological Sciences","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114931082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More than half the livestock population live in misery and suffer vast economic losses due to parasites. Among the parasitic diseases, amphistomosis is one of the major parasitic\u0000diseases causing heavy economic losses to livestock industry. Livestock production can be increased by the reduction of losses due to disease and development of new immunological approaches. Immunodiagnosis of parasitic diseases requires highly sensitive and specific tests. In many cases the identification of helminth parasites concerns their epidemiology and it is important to distinguish between species and subspecies. Conventional techniques including serology and microscopy do not always meet these requirements. However, microscopy still remain the mainstay of several diagnostic laboratories. Development of diagnostic tools have opened new avenues for a vast improvement in parasitic disease detection. Anumber of new serology-based assays that are highly specific and sensitive have emerged, such as agar gel precipitation, agglutination, immunodiffusion (ID), counter current immunoelectrophoresis (CCIEP), FAST-ELISA, Dot-ELISA, Sandwich-ELISA, Plate-ELISA, SDS-PAGE, Western blotting, immunoblotting etc. These approaches have revealed potentiality in parasitic disease diagnosis such as amphistome infection with increased\u0000specificity and sensitivity.

Paramphistomosis is a parasitic disease occurring in domestic ruminants causing economic loss to livestock industry. Early diagnosis of the disease is very important so that the loss due to disease can be curtailed by the appropriate treatment. Immunodiagnostic assays are helpful in the diagnosis of parasitic diseases. Hence immunological tests especially microtitre plate enzyme linked immunosorbant\u0000assay (ELISA) are the mainstay of diagnosis. Enzyme linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), one of the immunodiagnostic assays is helpful in the diagnosis of paramphistomosis. More than 500 clinical/field sera samples of buffaloes, goats, sheep and cattle were collected from Bareilly, Delhi, Dehradun and Ludhiana under DST (GOI)\u0000sponsored project. Microtitre plate (Greiner) containing 96 well for Indirect Plate-ELISA was standardized for the detection of anti-Paramphistomunepiclitum antibodies in immunized rabbit using somatic antigen of P.epiclitum ranging from 1µg/ml to 10µg/ml, HRPO conjugate dilutions 1:1000 to 1:8000 and the range of sera dilution from 1:50 to\u00001:1,60,000. The optimum concentration of adult somatic P. epiclitum antigen was observed to be 2µg/ml, conjugate dilution 1:1000 and sera dilution at 1:200 and 1:400. A total of 222 clinical/field sera samples of ruminants were tested. Out of the total 106 ruminant samples were found to be positive with the incidence rate of 47.75 %. The highest percent positivity (84.0%) was found in naturally infected buffaloes followed by 26.25% in goats and 12.5% in sheep by indirect plate-ELISA. The observations on sensitivity and specificity of plate-ELISA test and immune response of antiP.epiclitum antibodies in experimental animal were also evaluated. The observation of high titre during the study is very effective for the detection of anti-P.epiclitum antibodies in field survey or in clinical cases. It is also helpful in the characterization of immunodominant antigens for the immunological control of the disease. Hence, indirect plateELISAis very important for the detection of paramphistomosis in domestic ruminants in early stages.","PeriodicalId":219235,"journal":{"name":"International Journal on Biological Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116535014","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
